What is it?A 45-minute exercise routine that is half Pilates and half Yoga. Tom McCook instructs.
Who is it for?Intermediate exercisers. This is a powerful routine and you need to have some experience at both Pilates and Yoga to get the most out of it.
What to expect:This simply produced Yoga and Pilates workout packs a punch without overwhelming you. Instructor Tom McCook has seamlessly combined a Pilates and a Yoga routine to create a 45-minute workout that stretches and strengthens your whole body while keeping a focus on the core. Although McCook spends a few minutes introducing you to the workout and discussing technique, this isn't really a routine for beginning exercisers - you should already be familiar with both Yoga and Pilates, and a bit of flexibility helps too. McCook has a no frills, matter-of-fact style of teaching and he is seen practicing the moves alone in an unadorned setting. Since the workout is a flowing routine, this approach keeps you focused on the instruction and helps avoid distractions. That doesn't mean, however, that McCook isn't without humor - stick around for the credits after the routine is done and you'll see him trying to bend the inflexible production crew into something approximating Yoga poses. Overall, this satisfying workout offers enough challenge to keep you interested over the course of repeated practice. A definite keeper.

Отзыв с Амазона.This is a great workout designed by Tom McCook, whose talents as a Pilates and Yoga teacher really show! By the end of the 45 minute flow practice, I felt like I got a super workout and at the same time felt physically and mentally restored.
I like the way the exercises are sequenced, beginning with warm-up stretches and Pilates movements, then leading into flowing Yoga poses. The Pilates exercises really help establish a good mind-body connection and get you into your core. So the Yoga poses feel safer on the back and joints. I find I can go a lot deeper into the Yoga postures without creating strain.
There's an instructional Basics section prior to the Flow portion of the video which explains proper body positioning, breathing, weight bearing prinicipals - these are a good prep for the Flow.
Overall, Tom McCook gives excellent instruction with a calming and pleasant voice. This video gets better each time I follow it!
