Overall this is a good tape. It is primarily focused on yoga rather than pilates, but it is a decent workout in a short (45 min.) time. The workout is vinyasa flow style and you really build up a good sweat. The teacher on the tape, PJ O'Claire, can be a little overly chatty at times, but her in depth explanations help you to better understand the poses and movements especially if you are a beginner. However, if you are looking for a real combination of yoga and pilates, you may want to buy the level two tape in this series- Pure Vitality.

This is an hour long vinyasa flow video, intermediate level power yoga - starts with any sun salutations A and B, with not much time for step backs, so if you do not yet jump back, be aware. Progresses to standing and seated poses, with some interesting variations. Constant reminders to stabilise the shoulders and knit the ribs are what make this "pilates-infused" - do not expect any proper pilates, or fusion. Actually a lot of pilates is based on yoga, so there you go.

PJ O'Clair gives great instruction and cues - I was impressed and highly recommend this tape.
