He not only invented an exercise regimen--which today is practiced by more than ten million people--but in the process, reinvented himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Howard Steel brings Joseph Pilates and his eponymous exercise regime to life from his unique perspective as a student, friend, and confidant. Joe's influence profoundly changed Steel's life; in turn, Steel was crucial for the survival of the Pilates Method and Joe's legacy. Steel's vivid account traces the expansion of Pilates from a small cadre of dedicated adherents, through two periods of near extinction, to the global sensation it is today. Steel describes Joseph Pilates's years as a prisoner during World War I, Joe's motivation to discover his system of exercises, his inspirational teaching technique, and the unique attraction of the Pilates Method. It's quite a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1733430725\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781733430722\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Steel, John Howard\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Last Leaf Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Last Leaf Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (May 2020)","offer_id":46081440874693,"sku":"9781733430722","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback (May 2020)","offer_id":46081440907461,"sku":"9781733430708","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781733430722.jpg?v=1776046152","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/caged-lion-joseph-pilates-and-his-legacy","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
