Ein Training für Körper und Seele. Für Schönheit, eine straffe Figur, Gesundheit und innere Balance. Pilates macht schön. Yoga-Übungen machen ruhig und ausgeglichen. Pilates + Yoga ist ein perfektes Training für Einsteiger und Fortgeschrittene, die nicht nur etwas für ihren Körper, sondern auch für Haltung, Wohlbefinden und Entspannung erreichen möchten. Gemeinsam mit ihren Trainern Tanja Krodel und Dr. Christian Reichardt führt Barbara Becker durch ein Kräftigungs-, Dehnungs- und Entspannungstraining, das auf dem klassischen Joseph Pilates Mattentraining und seit jahrtausenden existierenden Yoga-Übungen basiert. In 45 Übungen vereint dieses Training das Beste aus zwei populären Trainingsphilosophien.

A yoga-based program that’s faster-paced and more energetic than the typical one-static-pose-at-a-time style. Instead, these postures quickly transition into a dynamic, smooth-flowing series. You get a lot of yoga in a short time — from cobra and warrior to down dog and crescent pose. Each segment has a specific purpose. The standing moves increase strength and balance; the floor poses focus on flexibility and relaxation. It ends with a compact, Pilates-style ab toning segment. Throughout, Teri Hanson’s cuing is precise and easy to follow. Includes a 7-minute bonus workout. A yoga block and strap are optional.

Seven different lower-body toning segments — each one features a distinct technique, style or piece of equipment. The DVD lets you play them separately or program any section to play in any order. The variety is amazing. The workouts include both standing and floor exercises. They range from traditional crunches and curls to Pilates and core routines. Some segments target the entire lower body while others focus on a specific muscle group (e.g. inner thighs). As always, Denise is cheerful, supportive and enthusiastic. Five sections use no equipment; one requires a resistance band and one requires a stability ball (with optional dumbbells).
