This book is a multi-faceted gem offering all of that and much more--I highly recommend it to teachers of movement and to anyone eager to learn how to become a better occupant of their body." * Marie-Jose Blom-Lawrence, Pilates Specialist and Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, Departmen * "Mary Bond's talent and expertise extended my professional dance career until age 52!
