Zen Stretch

I had very high hopes for this tape- high enough to pay $12.95 even though it was less than 15 minutes long. I was very disappointed- it's supposed to be a fusion of dance, Pilates and yoga with "hybrid vitality", but it felt choppy instead of smooth. I happily traded it away.

Weird is the word for this one. It’s a short stretch tape (about 15 minutes) that Hilary Burnett describes as a blend of Pilates, yoga, and modern dance. It would be fine except for the weird (there’s that word again) transitions. You will be in some stretch, and then you’re supposed to very suddenly move into something different. This is probably one of those things you have to see to know what I’m talking about, but you sort of “snap” from one position to another. And, of course, you don’t know the change is coming unless you’ve done the tape frequently, so you’re always a little behind. I suppose she was trying to be creative with the choreography, but it doesn’t suit me at all.
