I have spent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emy life studying not only the exercises themselves, but the thread that connects\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand runs through every exercise in this method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contains the lesser-known Reformer exercises and variations I was\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etaught over my decades of direct study and teaching of these exercises.
