The Baby Chair sat in the corner for years... She gathered dust and was only dragged out of the shadows for the occasional delicate client. Her power was unappreciated, untapped and unknown. She held the secret that makes the Pilates Method different from all others. Baby holds the gift of the "lift". This is where we learn how to correctly scoop the abdominals in and up. To create length in the spine, first from the base of the Powerhouse, through the pelvis, then the stomach, buttocks, and thighs, and finally connecting the body from our head to our heel. Here is where we learn to push down to pull up. We create space in our spines and breath with expansion not experienced in other places. This is the "lift" of the Baby Chair.This book is formatted in the style of Joseph H. Pilates' Return To Life, to give the reader a quick and simple reference guide with clear and efficient instructions and photographs.
