Okay, I love this 2-DVD set. Admittedly, I have and use all of Jill's media output, but this set is such a unique crystallization of Jill's approach. The 5 and 10 minute segments (and the 5 minute is not simply a reconfiguration of the 10 minute) zero in on their targets with Miller's interlacing of flexibility, strength, mobility and even coordination.

Standouts for me are the lower back and foot segments. Those are particular problem areas for me but, really, I'm sure I'll get fixated on the rest as well.

Jill is very smart and her presentation is clear and fun. For years I've found her DVDs and CDs helpful as support structure for my long-standing yoga practice (way over 10 years, mostly alignment styles, teacher training as well) and was quite happy to see the same principles adapted to shorter formats.

Even though I concentrate on yoga, I think the material presented here would be quite adaptable and accessible to other fitness disciplines

Instructor Comments:
I'd suggest looking at some clips of Jill's stuff her website: www.yogatuneup.com, or elsewhere, to get an idea if these routines might be right for you. It's hard to describe how Jill's focus differs from other media approaches to yoga -- a little like yoga meets physical therapy.
