I love this video which really surprised me. I was looking for a different flexibility routine. But I don't like power yoga for this purpose because it's too taxing on my legs so I can't relax in some positions even though it does improve flexibility a lot. I also wasn't a great fan of Kari. Her Sweat Express is o.k. but I didn't like Bench Works. After that, I didn't want to buy any more of her tapes. But because of VF, I was curious about this tape. Most reviews were so positive & I figured Collage would let me return it if I didn't like it. Well, I'm not returning it & I'm so grateful to the reviewers. This tape is so beautifully produced. The movements just flow well & is put together so creatively. I really feel concious of every movement. This tape celebrates the beauty of our bodies & the joy of movement. There's some toning but it's not taxing like power yoga. I do the Method & Super Callanetics tapes. These two tapes are effective & I can already tell they work for me. But they are boring. I have to break up the S. Callan. tape just to make it through. This tape is not (one of the reviewers said the same thing). Also the Method & S.Callan. is more toning while ALC is more of a flexibility type training. I'm doing it as an after workout stretch. Now that I like this tape, maybe I'll give Kari another chance. 2 The Max sounded good from the reviews.

Instructor Comments:
Kari is so elegant & classy. She is perfect for this video. You can tell she was a ballerina because she moves so gracefully. But she is not intimadating (sp.?) & is always encouraging you.
