This is an answer to your fitness prayers! Ever notice how most pilates tapes have no stretching at the end? This is great combination. After a brief warmup there is traditional Pilates section, followed by yoga poses to stretch and tone the lower body. The whole workout tones your "core". The abs, back and butt. This is great for beginners who are unfamiliar with either discipline. And, you will not be sore the next day!

This is an excellent choice for people who are new to a physical fitness program of this ilk. The poses incorporate Hatha Yoga with some Pilates exercises thrown in for good measure. The program is broken into three parts, so the viewer can take a break if needed between.

Jonathan Urla is a pleasant instructor, and seems very knowledgable of body and movement. He does the workout along with three other participants, giving full explanation of each pose, all the while looking cool and collected. Correct breathing techniques are included. Otherwise, the music and the surroundings are also pleasant and not intrusive.

There is no mystical aspect for yoga purists. This is a physical fitness regiment. It would serve anyone who is seeking to go further in either yoga asana or Pilates. Definitely a must for Yogilates Two.

Have the first workout tape and love it. Can work through the entire tape even at the end of the longest day and not feel I am forcing myself to do it. This is a first.
