I do not have yoga or pilates experience. I am a fairly fit person and found the first yoga section to not be enough. I did however enjoy the pilates section of the tape. Enough to get me very interested in finding more pilates work out tapes. I really felt like I had a good work out with out jumping and bouncing all over the place. I do have to say that I was a bit disappointed that the moves go so quickly and you do not have much of a chance to hold the moves and really feel a deep strength training. I will continue to use this tape in my regular work out routine but I am also looking for some videos more dedicated to really teaching yoga and pilates.

I got this as a christmas gift, at my request. I had seen adverts for it while doing Denise's Daily Workout show on Lifetime, and it sounded good. Unfortunately she moves through the yoga poses way too quickly and doesn't explain them for those folks new to yoga. However, the pilates portion of the tape seemed okay, though I think more explanation of the moves and how it should feel would be helpful, as I'm a beginner to any pilates stuff and have weak abs and found some of the moves very difficult.

This video just does not cut it. Denise moves too fast. You don't hold the poses long enough, so you can't concentrate on individual muscles. Forget trying to breathe properly and relax! The poses are somewhat advanced, so her fast style runs the serious risk of hurting someone!

If you are into a true Yoga form such as Iyengar, you probably won't like this video. It is very fast , doesn't hold poses for longer that a second or two and does absolutly nothing for your mind. I personally think Iyengar is far more difficult and requires more strength and flexibility than this speedy version. However the Pilates portion of the tape I did enjoy.

I already owned Denise Austin Mat Workout based on the work of JH Pilates. I absolutely loved that video and it made a remarkable difference in my body. Within 6 months I had lost 15 pounds and went down from a size 9 or 11 to a size 4/5. Of course I also incorporated cardio in my workout and ate right. Needless to say when Denise came out with this new video, I just had to have it. It really is different from her previous video and I found it totally refreshing and it works more than the other video since she puts in new moves and adds weights to intensify your workout. I highly recommend this video for anyone who has done yoga or pilates or even anyone who has it. It is great. It will make a total difference in your life if done on a regular basis. Thanks Denise!
