Book Reviews of The Pilates Way to Birth
Book Review: Reminder of the sacredness of life
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not just an exercise textbook but an invitation, in a very hopeful, encouraging tone, to motherhood. As a student of pharmaceutical sciences, I had lots of opportunities to be exposed to stories surrounding "life" in a variety of contexts and underlying any of those stories there was, in essence, an "axiom" that life is anyway wonderful. Sadly, though, this "axiom" tends to be just so readily forgotten or neglected while living a dry, excessively achievements-oriented life. While reading this book, I myself was made to realize how far away I have always been from a "normal" pleasure or happiness as a living creature. And the magic of this book was that it urged me to believe that I must make a significant change to the way I live. I started reading this book as a preparation for attending the author's Pre/Post-natal Pilates certification training, and I certainly did not expect that this book would take me so far beyond the mere knowledge of anatomy, childbirth, and Pilates. I am flying to the US from Tokyo tomorrow to attend the training and very much looking forward to participating in the course facilitated by this great author and mentor.
