This is an excellent tape for increasing flexibility as well as relaxing. As with her heavy-duty workouts, Karen Voight is also outstanding in this stretch workout. She always makes sure to let you know the safe way to do a stretch and also where you should be feeling it.

You start with some standing stretches and then move to the floor. The total tape is about 35 minutes, and about 25 minutes are on the floor. The music is extremely relaxing, which helps you relax into the stretches. Karen holds the stretches for several seconds, allowing you to improve on your flexibility and not just maintain it.

One of my favorite stretches on this tape is sitting cross-legged, and then you bend over your legs to stretch your glutes and outer thigh. A lot of instructors don't include this, and it feels so good!

I give this tape an "A".
