I happen to be the type that loves to stretch so I'm willing to try just about any tape. I really enjoy Stephanie's Stretch & Feel it workout. If you are familiar with Kari's Angles, Lines and Curves and you like the workout, you will love this tape. The workout is all done seated on the floor starting out with some very thorough back release & shoulder exercises. You can tell Stephanie is a ballet teacher, all her movements are very graceful. You do a short routine for a few minutes and then go through it at a quicker pace concentrating on using your abs the whole time. Next is slow controlled movements stretching your quads and more stretches for your back laying flat on the floor with gentle side to side movements with your knees. Very relaxing. Then you stretch your inner thighs. Next is another section where you start off releasing your back and the sides of your waist, my favorite section, then you move into hip flexor and calf stretches. Then you do back work done on all fours where you lift one arm with the opposite leg with slow controlled movements and you add in shoulder stretches. Then you do more hip flexor stretches, a little different this time adding in quadracep stretches and adding in more back work laying on your stomach and raising an arm with the opposite leg. The last section is more yoga based, going into downward dog position and raising one leg at a time into the air and really stretching your legs and then one more shoulder and side stretch section with some unique quad stretches added in. If you love Kari's ALC, I highly recommend this tape. Very thorough whole body stretches and very relaxing!!

Instructor Comments:
I really like Stephanie's personality. She is very likable and very knowledgeable when it comes to ballet, yoga and pilates. She is very thorough with her workouts and they leave you feeling very relaxed and stretched out.
