Fully illustrated throughout with black-and-white photos, Standing Pilates show readers how to use their own body weight to get faster and more lasting results. Joan Breibart (New York, NY) is one of the original leaders of the Pilates movement; in 1991, she founded the Institute for the Pilates Methods, now called Pilates Physicalmind Institute, the first membership organization for Pilates professionals.
