Awake! Aware! Alive!: Exercises for a Vital Body

After reading the previous review, I was appalled. Then I realized that was just one persons opinion. I had been doing the Lotte Berk Method for about a month and had thought it would be good to get some other exercises. I knew about this book, and thankfully, I did not base my purchase off of the review. The book is written very well. It gives you exercises that are based off of your level. There is a beginning, intermediate, and advanced. They state directly in the book that if you are not advanced, do not do these exercises. I've learned several more strecthing exercises and my body has become more limber, lengthened and more alive. Thank you for introducing to me what my body should be.

This book is the way Joe Pilates intended for his system of fitness to be taught. I have been practing it for over 20 years and love it. Excellent for yoga teachers and dancers, of which I am both.
