This is a great book with many details and variations. It is well worth purchasing if you are an instructor.

I've been practicing pilates on a reformer for about a year in a studio with a great instructor. I recently moved to a small town that didn't offer anything more than mat classes and not many of those so I bought my own reformer. After about a week I realized I had no idea what else to start doing besides the basic workouts I'd been used to in the last year. Finding this book has been my savior! Every single exercise you can think of is detailed with pictures, recommended springs and possible risks to the technique. This book covers everything about the reformer and illustrates HUNDREDS of exercises. It will allow me to progress above my basic level of training into advanced pilates. I feel much more confident now working on my own.

Great instructions for reformer use. I had looked everywhere for something, anything, re: reformer exercises, and while there were a few DVD's I could not find any written instruction specifically for reformer use ; that is, until now. Well written, with clear instructions and with beginner, intermediate and advanced exercises, this is the only book you need to progress and it is quite clear that Ellie knows her stuff and has well documented training over decades of Pilates. Fabulous book,quite expensive but well worth the price as it is ageless in the method and use of the universal reformer.
