I bought this to start Pilates again. It has lots of photos, and the explanations are detailed and easy to understand. I especially like that it is divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels! It also goes into detail about things to watch out for, so it is good for following along at home by yourself. I recommend it!!
I was recommended this book because it was written by someone who teaches Pilates certification classes, so I decided to buy it.

Pilates's structured training system made my body strong. One, ten, and a hundred Pilates sessions made me healthier physically and mentally. As you complete movements using the right muscles and precise motion, you can clearly see the changes in your body. The Pilates system is very scientific. I hope many people will understand its principles, control their movements precisely, and experience the effectiveness of the Pilates system. Through repeated practice, Pilates can help you control your body and find comfort and joy in life. Physical and mental comfort can create happiness in life. ‘After 10 Pilates sessions, you'll feel a difference; after 20, you'll see a difference; and after 30, you'll have a completely new body.’ The Pilates method for training the body helps you master your mind by bringing your body fully under control. ‘Above all, learn to breathe correctly.’ ‘Breathing is the first act of life, and also the last.’
