Movie Review: great place to start
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great video to start pilates with! The instructor is wonderful.

Movie Review: Pleased in Pennington, NJ
Summary: 5 Stars

I have used this DVD for several years and have bought it as gifts for friends. Ana Caban gives clear instructions, has a very pleasant personality, and moves things along at a good pace. None of the exercises is repeated for too long, so it never gets monotonous. This DVD has changed my life. I have scoliosis and suffered from back pain for many years until I started doing Pilates with Ana Caban. I feel healthy and much more energetic, my body has become more shapely, and people remark on how my posture has improved - and most important of all, my back is strong, my abs are terrific, and I no longer have back pain. I highly recommend this DVD - also the Intermediate one. Anthea Spencer

Movie Review: C for Effort
Summary: 3 Stars

I gave it a C (generously) because it WILL make you stronger. But overall, it is a disappointment. Just a teaser for the intermediate dvd perhaps. In huge need of a plan.

No context - has she forgotten what it is to be a beginner? The planning in this dvd has resulted in very little in the way of orienting a person to anything. Intro is two whole paragraphs! WOW! And then jump into the mat workout. The following bonus 12-minute workout only modestly suggests that it is related to the mat workout. What were they thinking?? We pay our hard earned bucks for this thing.

The interview with Caban is more in-depth that anything on the dvd - but is this what we signed up for?? This thing was slapped together on a long weekend, I swear.

Caban herself looked solid in her practice - not transcendent - just solid. She reinforced the idea that I have had about pilates - that it is for your body, your mind just comes along for the ride. So I will definitely look for a better series - more grounded and not over-selling.

I am using pilates as a core strengthener to inform my yoga practice.
