Classical Pilates Technique - Studio EquipmentMay 8, 2008 C. Brown(New York, NY USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This and all the others in this series set a standard for Pilates practice. It is the Strunk and White of Pilates instruction. THe videos take practitioners through stepped levels towards a strong intermediate level. The demonstrators have perfect form, and rythm and the commentary, though spare is just what you need.
Great DVD!July 20, 2007 April Norris(Fullerton, CA USA) This DVD is wonderful for Pilates instructors! I have been teaching for 6 months (certified in the BASI method), and my eyes were opened to all of Classical Pilates' different techniques and moves. I love it!

A 'must-have' in every professional Pilates trainers' collection which should be consulted on a regular basis. Not for 'home-use' by non-professionals though.
Very good authentic Pilates DVDAugust 27, 2006 LMH 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was told to get these DVD's by a Romana Certified Instructor and I'm so thankful I was. This is a good straight forward, real time DVD of all the different machines. HOWEVER. Do not be fooled-I was very dissappointed to see that the Reformer is NOT on these DVD's. Obviously that's a big omission considering how integral it is to the Pilates workout. I am assuming it was better marketing wise to include it in yet another DVD but consequently this DVD isn't really the "Studio Equipment Series" if it doesn't include the most important Equipment in my opinion. But that said...I HIGHLY recommend this mostly to instructors who would want a refresher on the exercieses. OR to very advanced students so that they can be more educated at their next private.
