Ron Fletcher (Master Elder Pilates Teacher):
“This is an awesome and wonderful piece of work Jennifer Stacey has produced—The best academic study of Joseph Pilates’ body Contrology I have seen—She really shows and tells you what this work is about, the specificity, the depth and quality—and the study and work required to become a teacher prepared to pass it on! This is not an “easy read” but invaluable to the serious student—and great for the archives.”
Marika Molnar, P.T.:
“Movement Perspectives™ is full of valuable information from a variety of disciplines that will be useful to Pilates teachers. I especially like the sections on Breathing and Preparing the Body. I would encourage anyone involved with movement to use this book.”
“Jennifer Stacey’s ‘Movement Perspectives Manual Volume I’ is by far the most comprehensive treatment of Introductory Pilates that I have ever seen. It covers so much more than Joe’s exercises: from how muscles work, to how to breathe, from how one might assess a client’s posture, to examples of language imagery for teachers. Jennifer has thought of everything, and provided meticulous detail that should please even the most thoughtful Pilates student. She has worked tirelessly on this first volume, and I can’t wait to see the next one!”

Balance Control. All photos ©2007 J Stacey. Reach the leg/foot up to the ceiling, to animate the center and lift the hips. Push the other leg into your hands. The chest is away from the chin (Kathy Grant’s lemon under the chin – do not make lemonade), shoulder blades on the mat. On the last picture Raisa is too high up on the neck, she needs to rotate around her xiphoid, lower her heart and lengthen through the thoracolumbar spine. She is reaching through her long leg beautifully. You can practice on the Spine Corrector, Arc, Chair (with for under top of Chair) or roller. Nice work in Tuscany, in Helsinki, Finland, and Dordogne, France! #Marchmatness #Marchmatnessbalancecontrol #controlbalance #pilatesplusvacation #Marchmatness2020
