Amazon.co.uk Review
Australian Louise Solomon has combined the ancient system of yoga with the modern system Pilates, resulting in her own Yogalates. Her intention is to unite yoga’s breathing, its internal workout, and its benefits for stress and anxiety together with the Pilates focus on strengthening deeper muscles. But her promise that this can help you lose weight in 28 days cheapens her premise. The implication that neither system is adequate is also misleading. Nevertheless Yogalates will appeal to older, professional women looking for a toning regime. Solomon is not at ease as a presenter: as a teacher her style features constant talking and instruction, which is good if you want your mind occupied, but stressful if you want to clear your mind and relax. Her strengths lie in encouraging knowledge of the body, notably the spine and the natural curves. Those familiar with yoga will gain most from this, otherwise following it can be confusing. The other key problem is that many of the stretches involve a particular resistance band. You can try and make do with a pair of lycra leggings, but eventually you’ll give up. This looks deceptively easy--it’s not. If you can stick it through, the chances are you will tone up in 28 days. But don’t expect it to be fun. --Lorna V

Customer Reviews

Fantastic! Flatter stomach in no time!
This DVD is fabulous, I have always struggled to exercise and have had plenty of gym memberships that have rarely been used.
I bought this DVD as I enjoy Yoga but often find the positions quite difficult and I enjoy Pilates but sometimes struggle with the breathing techniques. This DVD combines the best of both, I found it so easy to follow and it doesn't move to fast so you can always keep up.
I have done this workout every night for the past two weeks in the run up to my holiday and my stomach has flattened considerably, I am very impressed. I would definately recommend this DVD to anyone, of any age.

Not easy but very effective
I find the instructions very good and clear, easy to follow and not boring at all.And at the end you get few minutes of relaxation also.
I have exercised with different videos but this one I think is worth every penny.I have exercised for 6 weeks now, and I can already see results.

Brilliant results fast!
I chose this video for its combination of yoga and pilates. I have done it 3 times a week and after 4 weeks really noticed a difference in my body shape!
