Book Reviews of Ellie Herman's Pilates Mat
Book Review: Herman Pilates, Not Pilates Pilates
Summary: 3 Stars
Ellie Herman, judging from the photos, is a physical specimen who can do the full run of Pilates exercises and make it look effortless. For the most part the photos of the exercises are very helpful, as are the descriptions. This is one of the clearest books as far as describing each exercise and showing it. I'm giving it three stars not four because it's quite expensive, and because Herman has adulterated Pilates's teaching with a lot of her own concepts. This is not to say that her own concepts are not useful. But when I buy a book on Pilates I want and assume I'm getting a book on Pilates as taught by Joe Pilates. Herman has added exercises, and terms, and ideas that are her own, such as favoring the neutral spine whereas Pilates favors keeping the spine as flat to the floor as possible. Also, she has altered the sequencing in many cases and doesn't distinguish between her additions and the movements/sequences as originally taught. Like Winsor Pilates or Stott Pilates this should be called "Herman Pilates." You can save about thirty bucks and get much of the same info from her very clear (yet still unorthodox) "Pilates for Dummies."
