Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Liz Koch knows what she is writing about, having worked with her own 'core awarenss' for many years. For myself, as someone professionally involved with yoga, Pilates, exercise and dance for years, the book was an instant fit. There is much valuable information in this book, and the general approach to movement that it advocates is something that desperately needs to become more widespread. On the down side, I wish Ms. Koch had paid attention to the amazon reviews of the previous book (The Psoas Book,), which suffers from the same production problems as this newer one does. I hope her next book gets professionally published (or even republish this one professionally). There are many typos, grammatical problems, and other errors that a good editor/proofreader could help with. Also, the incredibly simplistic line drawings that illustrate her sophisticated "movement explorations" don't begin to do justice to the material. Even I, an experienced movement professional, could not understand the proper body positioning on many of them. Please, please, some good photos!! In conclusion, this book is definitely worth reading for the information, but it is sad that the production of the book was so amateurish. But don't let that hold you back from getting the book--there aren't many books out there with this in-depth approach to core awareness. Most of what passes for 'core training' out there is nowhere near this level of somatic understanding.
