●Reproduce the popular "Machine Pilates" from the 3rd Pilates Boom at Home
In recent years, as Pilates popularity has risen again, "Machine Pilates," performed using specialized equipment, has garnered particular attention. Compared to mat Pilates, which uses body weight, it is easier for beginners to grasp movements and more effective in targeting deep muscles.
This book is designed to help you practice the concepts and movements of machine Pilates at home. It offers content that people who want to reshape their body or address physical ailments can easily incorporate, even without special equipment.
●miey-style Pilates: "Aligning bones while resting muscles you don't want to bulk up"
The author, miey, is a skeletal correction Pilates trainer popular on SNS and YouTube.
The author, with over 1.7 million total SNS followers* (as of April 2026), has compiled practical methods in an easy-to-understand way for people who are "new to Pilates," "have tried and failed because movements were too difficult," or "are stiff and lack confidence."
miey-style Pilates emphasizes "aligning bone positions" first to effectively engage muscles. By relaxing overstrained muscles, the muscles you truly want to use awaken, leading to changes in posture and body line.
▼Recommended for those with these concerns:
・Thighs tend to be tight, and posture easily collapses
・Shallow breathing, ribs tend to flare open
・Unable to effectively use core muscles, leading to a protruding belly
・Concerned about chronic neck, shoulder, and lower back pain
*Based on feedback from clients at Pilates studio 'Pilates Alim'
●【With Videos】Easy to understand correct movements, easy for beginners to practice
This book carefully explains points for moving without straining the neck or shoulders, and how to "switch on your body" for correct form.
It clearly shows "which muscles should feel the stretch" and "which body parts the movements target," and also includes common incorrect movements. You can learn correct movements while avoiding self-taught pitfalls.
Furthermore, it comes with a video service that makes Pilates movements even easier to understand. By checking both the book and videos, you can practice safely at home.
●Can be done with household items like towels and plastic bottles
This book introduces practical methods using familiar items to reproduce machine Pilates movements at home.
For example,
・Using a 500ml plastic bottle instead of a dumbbell
・Using two bath towels instead of a pole
It's full of ideas to easily start, even without special equipment. It's useful not only for self-care at home but also for reviewing studio lessons.

Skeletal correction Pilates trainer. From Korea. Operates Pilates Alim studios in Ginza, Shintomicho, Fukuoka, and Osaka. After giving birth to her first child in 2016, she successfully lost 11kg. However, even after losing weight, her lower body remained unchanged, which sparked her interest in body sculpting through trial and error, leading her to obtain a Pilates trainer qualification. She further deepened her knowledge and developed skeletal correction Pilates based on functional anatomy and kinesiology, which are crucial for exercise, movement, and body sculpting. She instructs Pilates instructors, aestheticians, and osteopaths on her skeletal correction method.
