The Anatomy of
Pilates by Paul Massey
Created by Joseph Pilates during the
early 20th century, Pilates is used by millions today to improve their
physical and mental well-being. Much of its appeal lies in its simple,
low-impact approach, which is ideal for injury prevention,
rehabilitation, and general physical health. Based on a series of
precise movements and the employment of equipment such as rubber balls
and exercise bands, Pilates emphasizes concentration, control,
alignment, core stability, and proper breathing.
The Anatomy of Pilates shows what actually happens to the body’s
muscles and joints during Pilates exercises. Each two-page spread
features detailed anatomical illustrations of an exercise (with muscle
actions highlighted in red), a detailed description of the exercise and
its objectives, the particular breathing pattern to be used, a list of
the specific muscles being worked, visualization techniques,
complementary exercises, and more. The Anatomy of Pilates is an
accessible, authoritative guide for current and prospective teachers of
Pilates, practitioners at all skill levels, physical therapists, and
other health professionals.

Anatomy and Asana: Preventing Yoga Injuries by Susi
Hately Aldous
Anatomy and Asana offers an easy and successful method to learn
anatomy and its relationship to yoga in a way that helps prevent
injuries. It is written by a certified yoga teacher with a diverse
background in kinesiology, ergonomics, and physical rehabilitation.
Anatomy and Asana answers many practical questions that are often
asked by yoga students – about back pain, knee pain, and shoulder pain;
about clenching the butt in back bends, and how to release the
hamstrings or prevent hamstring tearing in forward bends. The book
combines hands-on information with illuminating drawings, stories, and
helpful tips to show you how to practice yoga with less pain. It informs
without overwhelming the reader with too much information.
Anatomy and Asana is divided into four parts: basics of anatomy;
language of anatomy and movement; the eight essential principles of
movement as they relate to yoga; and application of these principles to
specific groups of yoga asanas: standing poses, back bends, forward
bends, twists, and inversions. For each group, the book shows where
there is a tendency for injury and what you can do to instill space in
your body and thereby prevent injury from occurring.

Anatomy of Breathing by Blandine Calais-Germain
“My hope is that [this book] will contribute to a more enlightened
practice of breathing. I also hope that you, the reader, will have a
better understanding of how breathing changes spontaneously from moment
to moment. My other wish is that you will discover how to consciously
choose a specific breathing technique for certain purposes or
circumstances.” -- Author’s Preface
Everyone breathes, yet few of us understand how to consciously
control breathing to improve our well-being and the quality of many
daily activities. Anatomy of Breathing is a clear and helpful guide to
both the theory and practice of breathing in its many variations. Hundreds of expert drawings along with easy-to-understand text help
you explore just how breathing works. Once you’re acquainted with the
principal organs, structures, and forces that affect breathing, you will
learn how to control them to enhance the quality and variety of
breathing in your own life. Along the way, you will also correct many
common misconceptions about breathing.

The Female Pelvis: Anatomy & Exercises
by Blandine Calais-Germain
The female pelvis and its contents are an underappreciated region of
the anatomy. Important not only for sexuality, they are also central to
the processes of childbirth and elimination.
The Female Pelvis was written for women to use over the course of
their lives, with a special emphasis on pregnancy, childbirth, and its
aftermath. Its purpose is to help women become more familiar with the
pelvis and its related structures, and how to keep them healthy and fit.
The book begins with a description of the functional anatomy of the
pelvis, and how it responds to pregnancy and childbirth. This is
followed by a series of specific exercises, initially for
self-discovery, and then to increase the flexibility, strength, and
coordination of each of the pelvic functions. The book concludes with
some guidelines which focus on the pelvis during different phases of a
woman's life.

Out In the
Open, The Complete Male Pelvis by R. Louis Schultz, Revised
Edition
This is everything you ever wanted to know about the
pelvis but were afraid to ask. Louis Schultz examines the male pelvis
under the dual lens of culture and science. North American culture
prizes male strength, upper-body bulk, and muscularity, but ignores male
genitalia for anything other than sexual function. The author strives to
increase knowledge of this body region with a guide to male pelvic
anatomy and a discussion of male sexual pleasure and emotions.
R. Louis Schultz is an Advanced Certified Rolfer
Emeritus, a Rolfing Movement Teacher, and an emeritus member of the Life
Science Faculty of the Rolf Institute. He founded the anatomy program at
the Rolf Institute and has presented Rolfing workshops in the U.S.,
Germany, Italy, England, Brazil, and Australia. Dr. Schultz received his
Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Wisconsin in 1955 and
currently practices Rolfing in New York City.
