Ballet dancers are renowned for their grace and beauty and Bodywise, a posture book created by highly respected members of the teaching staff from The Australian Ballet, introduces the reader to some of the ideas that dancers use to help achieve their physical goals.
Bodywise presents a fresh program of exercises chosen for their simplicity, ease of learning and safety. The exercises are taken from Pilates, physiotherapy, Alexander Technique and yoga.
The program is demonstrated in step-by-step photos by dancers from The Australian Ballet and is suitable for just about everyone, including those with limited physical ability or low levels of fitness.
It teaches you to enjoy your body more and helps you to uncover your own grace and elegance.
