Standing Pilates: Strengthen and Tone Your Body Wherever You Are 10 reviews
Joan Breibart
Wiley, 2004
you can do pilates anywhere
+ Good book
+ A Nice Addition to the Pilates Repertoire
This is a nice variation on the standard Pilates how-to book. You can do these exercises anywhere, in a small space, without any equipment. Standing up makes them quite challenging. I'd recommend this to teachers too.
