Video was really cheesy and only had one sequence that was mildly challenging for someone of intermediate skill.
4 Stars Dr. Beth wrote a great review
Ok, I can add it’s set in a studio with 3 women & 2 men all in great shape. Great lighting, good sound, good music, not too fast, not too boring. Jonathan leads speaking/teaching in real time. He will perform all the exercises himself & then help others as they stay in it. He cues YOUR left & right, not his/students. He gives great instruction, has a soothing voice, but not to soothing. This almost felt to me like a rigorous stretching workout rather then anything else. The warm up was the entire first section & at first I thought it would be too easy. After the warm up & stretching, there is modified & full pilates, stretching of the legs, butterfly stretch, torso stretching, bridge bridge w/1 leg up, etc. Last he gets more advanced with modified & full side plank, standing He saves the sun salutations, warrior poses, triangle, side angle, chair, camel, standing wide legged fwd bends, for almost last. Though many of the postures were modified, some were not. With all the stretching, time went quickly & I didn’t realize I was sweating, heart racing & out of breath until it was almost over.
There’s a video preview if you search google’s videos on a Japanese site with Japanese voice over.
5 Stars Greate workout
After 3 months of practice Yogilates level 1 I moved to level 2, you can’t start level 2 if you didn’t practice before Yoga. I start losing pounds, my body is shaping and the best thing take back the control of myself
3 Stars Okay DVDs but looking for better
These are decent DVD’s except I don’t understand why each DVD doesn’t come with one session including instructional and motivational dialogue from Urla (this is what currently comprises the video) as well as a second session without all the dialogue, maybe with verbal ques on the next move. Urla has one of those nasal, feminine voices that isn’t necessarily soothing or nice to listen to during yoga or pilates, in fact it can be downright grating. After three times going through the workouts with Urla’s instruction I found myself clutching the remote and fast forwarding through his demos and chat. I find it so annoying that I’m searching for a new DVD set to work with.
4 Stars good follow up to the beginner workout
I found the intermediate workout for yogilates to be a really good follow up to the beginner routine. I thoroughly enjoyed the beginner routine, so I was quite satisfied with the intermediate workout. The intermediate routine had the same set up and flow as the beginner workout, but was significantly more difficult, which was what I was looking for. The only reason I cannot give this product 5 stars is because the disk itself is a bit flawed and has a skip in it. All in all, I would recommend this workout to anyone who has mastered the beginner’s routine and found it enjoyable.
