Addressing the needs of a beginner, we have paired our Pilates Power Mat with The Pilates Promise by Alycea Ungaro. Ungaro became a certified Pilates instructor under the tutelage of Master instructor Roman Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilates' chosen successor. She is the founder and director of the Pilates Center of New York - Tribeca Bodyworks, New York's largest Pilates center. This book features full-color, step-by-step photographs of the complete mat work program, plus a selection of complementary exercises.
