Yoga and Pilates Stretch.
Dynamic Stretch is an intermediate workout that involves a series of deep-muscle stretches, ranging from yoga and Pilates to classic athletic moves. You begin with yoga-based standing routines that are designed to warm up your muscles, thus rejuvenating your body while increasing flexibility. Then comes a seven minute series of seated exercises that are designed to extend those previous stretches into your abs and back. Finishing with Pilates-style floorwork aimed at your lower body, such as a double legstretch and "v-sits" with legs in the air. This one-on-one instructional DVD, set at a tranquil poolside, features soothing music (from Asian flutes to Spanish guitar). Voice-over cuing emphasizes movement-specific breath control.

 I Have Found No Better Tool For Stretch, 2008-03-21
Janis Saffell Dynamic Stretch is the best dvd for stretching out your body if you are not in the mood a strict yoga routine. She performs and reponsibly teaches simple yet effective stretches that flow naturally. I also love that I can do this when I am really tired and want to be revitalized. Most of the routine is matwork so don't be afraid that you will have to stand the whole time. There is nothing dangerous or awkward about being guided through these exercises. That is not to say that you will not be challenged if you are full of intention and do the exercises the way she does them. She is extremely pleasant and easy to understand. Each exercise/stretch flows into the next and makes perfect sense. The routine is balanced and does not cause me pain. In fact, I love it so much because it actually relieves my pain and stiffness. She doesn't hurry through anything. She is equally skilled at teaching pilates, and you can buy her pilates dvd along with this one at a discount I think. I have purchased "Dynamic Stretch" four times now because I leave it places or I give it away to people who need it desperately because I know that they will never take a yoga class or do stretches on their own.
My dog stretches every time he gets up before he even takes a step. He is smarter than we humans I think. Janis' approach is smart. I think she demonstrates how human beings would behave instinctively (like my dog) if we were not conditioned to skip over being kind to ourselves and others. Take care of yourselves and encorporate this dvd into your life before you step out the door. I was eager to review this dvd and am glad to be generous with my praise because this has actually helped me. I can't say that about most of the things into which I have dumped money. I also enjoy "Pilates To Go" by Maria Leone and all of Maury Winsor's stuff. Most of the exercise dvd's I've purchased are junk. This one, I cannot live without. I have a spondilolethisis (can't spell). It means my back is broken. Lengthening at a slow, graceful pace is extremely important to my well-being.
