I've been doing yoga for over 2 years, along with latin dancing, the hula & bellydancing for almsot 2 years. I don't know much about pilates, but I enjoyed this dvd. I felt refreshed after, my abs were burning, and my spine felt more straight immediatly.This disc comes with a 5 min interview with Rael, comes in 5.1 sound, the music is not annoying & the director & producers have won golden globes, emmys, etc. for other tv shows.
Rael Isacowitz has been doing Pilates for 25 years, is one of the few who can perform the entire repertoire & teaches other pilates teachers. He's one of the only people who can do the entire workout & has a masters in dance which shows in how he moves & speaks. He is very greaceful when he moves, has a lot of charisma when he speaks & doens't miss anything when showing how to do the movements. He sees the body as a dancer & is amazing in knowing how the body responds to small differences in movements such as which way the palm should face.
The set is simple in orange with 3 women demonstrating the movements on a pilates table while Rael tells you how to move, what to watch out for all while keeping perfect pace of always tellling you when to inhale & exhale in charming manner that's never annoying. He also demonstrates the more advanced way of doing each movement w/perfect precison & grace. The pace is relaxed to emphasis body awareness. The moves seem to be yoga-based with a hint of aerobics. The # on the DVD is how many moves it contains.
