Portable Pilates is a 45-minute mat class as taught at the Pilates Center of New York - Tribeca Bodyworks.

Original music and creative sound effects provide the student with the necessary cues, tempo and dynamic of each exercise. NOTE: This item is intended for those with prior Pilates experience. From the back cover: "For a model, Pilates is the perfect workout. It has given me long, toned muscles more synonomous witht he elegance of the runway than the bulk of the gym. Best of all, Alycea makes it fun to do."
