Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Pilates
by
Rael Isacowitz

, January 17, 2009
Recommended reading for all Total Gym and Pilates Reformer owners. This book covers a wide range of Pilates exercises for all of the Pilates machines, plus matwork. Although some pages cover machines that typically are not owned by home users, the book is well worth the price for the section on reformer exercises alone. Rael covers 75+ Reformer Exercises with detailed photos and descriptions. Most of the Passport exercises at Nike are covered, making this a great resource for new Passport holders who want to feel comfortable using the reformers independently. Other sections that you'll enjoy: mat exercises, magic circle exercises, and cadillac moves that can be adapted to be performed with stretch cords.

Inspiring! Fantastic for the coffee table or your workout room. This large format book packed with muscle-popping black and white photos of the NYC ballet corp will inspire you to want that devine dancer's body for yourself. Luckily, they've also broken down how to get there with exercises that can be done by mere mortals.

This is one of those a-ha practices that'll have you wondering why everyone isn't already talking about it. Oh yeah, they are!

Anticancer A New Way Of Life
by
David Servan Schreiber
christine binnendyk
, December 14, 2008
Stop! Read this book before your next trip to the grocery store. Schrieber weaves a gripping tale of his own 15-year remission from cancer using a very specific food plan with salient facts about dangerous shifts in the American diet over the last 75 years -- shifts that have dramatically increased our obesity and cancer rates. Schrieber doesn't blame laziness, fast food or video games for our dietary woes. Rather, he points the finger at our propensity to take advice from companies and individuals -- dairy and meat producers, pharmaceutical companies and medical doctors -- with commercial interests at heart. He gives us hope with new data about cancer inhibiting and cancer fighting properties of several food categories, and backs this up with historical statistics on populations that have used these foods for centuries.

Insight Yoga: An Innovative Synthesis of Traditional Yoga, Meditation, and Eastern Approaches to Healing and Well-Being
by
Sarah Powers

, December 13, 2008
This is a must-have title for yin yoga fans! Powers presents tradtional chinese medicine theory linked to yoga sequences that stimulate and tone each meridian. Each sequence is laid out in easy to follow photo spreads, with details given within each chapter. For those unfamiliar with yin yoga, it focuses on gently stretching connective tissue, allowing for greater ease of movement in the hips and spine. If you've been frustrated while trying to increase your flexibility, connective tissue work may be the answer. This is hands-down the most comprehenisive volume on Yin yoga.
