Pilates, Flow, and Healing offers a rigorous, embodied, and trauma-informed reframe of one of today’s most popular wellness methods. Drawing from thinkers like Merleau-Ponty, somatics pioneers like Peter Levine, and up-to-date neurobiological research, this book offers a profound path toward an embodied “Return to Life.”
Written by academic-practitioner Anna Westin and Master Trainer Holly Murray, this pilates manual is the first to bridge the gap between the Classical Pilates Method, contemporary trauma theory, and somatics—and to show how Pilates helps trauma survivors heal through structured, developmental movement.
Written for teachers, trainers, somatic therapists, trauma healers, and serious students of Pilates, this book is structured in three parts and explores:
- The art of touch: How to use containing touch, guiding and supporting touch, and invitational touch to cultivate somatic safety and relational repair in clients
- How the Method regulates the nervous system: Cueing conscious, structured movement to ground the body and restore the nervous system to its natural rhythms
- Flow and neurobiology: How the “sixth principle” of flow integrates body and mind
- Practical aspects of Pilates for trauma survivors: How the Method’s approaches to rhythmic breathing, spinal articulation, two-way stretching, and embodied biofeedback facilitate safety, agency, and autonomic regulation
This book offers serious readers a deeply embodied approach to the Method that restores Pilates from pop-culture misconceptions to its original purpose: an effective path back to healing, recovery, and the powerhouse of the self.
