This is actually a great stretch tape. I got it for $14.95 (I think!!) at a Suncoast Video in my local mall. It's 3 segments(about 15-20 min each): the first is a total body stretch, the 2nd an upper and the final a lower. BUT, I think the entire thing is total body. There are some light toning parts that you need a band for, but since I use this as a stretch tape, I just do a stretch on my own (or fast-forward) through them, since there are hardly any and they are extremely easy. There's no specific Pilates or yoga, but there are a lot of sun breaths. It's definitely Pilates and yoga inspired. There is nothing 'spiritual' about it, I guess the beautiful music could be considered new agey, but it's very relaxing. All in all, I really love this as a stretch tape.

Instructor Comments:
She's wonderful- very relaxing, excellend explanation on body alignment. I find that true of the other Method videos I've tried, too. Just on a personal note, she appears to be Latina (like me!), so that's a definite plus in my book :)
