I just got myself 2 new books on yoga and pilates as a reference to remember some of the stuff I learnt in class. I’m quite happy with my new investment. They are really useful and they’ve got step by step instructions on the poses. Pilates Anatomy. A Comprehensive Guide. by Dr Abby Ellsworth has got detailed explanations of the muscles at work for each of the exercises together with a section on the benefits of the poses and when you shouldn’t do them if you have a certain medical problem. The second book Hatha Yoga Illustrated By Martin Kirk, Brooke Boon and Daniel DiTuro also describes the physical and mental benefits, the counter poses and contraindications for each pose.
Practice wise...I got a little lazy for the past few days. I will get back to my routine soon. Tomorrow I’ll have pilates class again. I’m looking forward to that.
