From Marguerite Ogle:

I am delighted by the surge of popularity that Pilates has gone through in the past 10 years. I see my work as the Pilates Guide for About.com as an opportunity to support the growing Pilates community, and to celebrate and share the Pilates method as it evolves. I hope you will join me as we explore all aspects of Pilates. From free Pilates exercise instructions to instructor certification, equipment and video reviews, and more, there is much to interest both beginning Pilates students and the advanced devotee.
