Rachel Lloyd began her career as a professional dancer/choreographer and taught children and adults dance. When Rachel discovered the benefits of Pilates, she fell in love with the practice, and eventually became a Master Trainer and then an Examiner. After working with fellow Master Trainer, Joyce Gavin, in America and Dublin on the Core Pilot Reformer, Rachel was asked to write a story to help engage children with Pilates. This was how Connor the Conker was born. Rachel lives in Oxfordshire, UK.

This book is a unique and extremely well-constructed format for introducing children to the benefits of Pilates in a manner that is stimulating - the way in which Rachel has introduced Connor the Conker as a character to bring the exercises and journey alive is both enjoyable and motivating for children. I will be recommending this book to my patients' children, as a way to prevent postural anomalies, improve overall strength, balance, co-ordination and flexibility, and to introduce children to the emotional and health benefits of exercise through the format of play.
