Critics Review

“Few things are as overlooked and yet absolutely critical to our health and well being as our posture. Mary Bond offers information, stories and tools for learning how to stand and move with ease and elegance.” * Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D, PT, author of 30 Essential Yoga Poses *“The New Rules of Posture is a good adjunct to bodywork of all kinds, from chiro­practic and osteopathy to Pilates and yoga. Read it thoroughly, let it soak into your experience–your body will thank you.” * Thomas Myers, author of Anatomy Trains *“Mary Bond’s talent and expertise extended my professional dance career until age 52! Anyone who suffers from body dysfunction and pain must read her book. Actually, it should be mandatory reading for all institutions offering anatomy, kinesiology, and medical courses.” * Bonnie Oda Homsey, Former member of the Martha Graham Dance Company, and Artistic Director of Americ *“I have long searched for a book that addresses the human body as a whole, and with clarity, guidance, and completeness. This book is a multi-faceted gem offering all of that and much more–I highly recommend it to teachers of movement and to anyone eager to learn how to become a better occupant of their body.” * Marie-José Blom-Lawrence, Pilates Specialist and Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, Departmen *“At last, at any level of knowledge of the body and movement, everyone will have the joy of a discovery that can profoundly change our relationship to ourselves, to others and to the beauty of the world.” * Hubert Godard, Ph.D., Professor of Movement and Research, University of Paris *“Recommended for anyone interested in the anatomical and emotional aspects of the movement of one’s body.” * Dede Archer, Library Journal, Feb 15, 2007 *
