"The two Pilates books I refer to most often are Joseph Pilates' Return to Life Through Contrology and Rael Isacowitz's Pilates. They are must-have reference works for Pilates teachers, students, and clients. I have known Rael for many years. In this book you will meet Rael, the multitalented and knowledgeable man and teacher. He presents his approach to Pilates with simplicity and love, and he inspires you to do your best. Bravo, Rael!"
