Better to buy a "real" yoga or pilates video
There are so many problems with this video I don't know where to start. I did buy Austin's first Pilates tape and found it effective (the first segment), until Living Arts released there Pilates video, which in my opinon rock! This video seems to just serve to capitalize on a trend. The power yoga section is more like yoga influenced flailing about. Austin never once cues the viewer about breathing-the very cornerstone of yoga! The postures are held for a couple of seconds, not long enough for any benefit. She redeems herself slightly in the Pilates section, although again no helpful cues on form. Austin says these segments "flow" I ended up frustrated and turned the video off. I say better to go with a Living Arts or Bryan Kest video.
