Very well-cued by Ellen Barrett, it starts with standing yoga and then transitions into Pilates-based matwork. You’ll get the individual, specific benefits of both exercise types without trying to force a yoga/Pilates “fusion.” The yoga section features poses like Warrior and Triangle (both as a warm-up, and also at a faster pace, to work your core). The longer matwork segment includes a mix of Pilates classics and weight-room-inspired toning routines (often preceded by a yoga-style intro). It’s an effective and innovative mix of Pilates and power yoga. ©2004. DVD has:

Crunch: Super SlimDown Pilates Yoga Blend |
| Surprisingly Good Workout |
| I'm pretty new to pilates and most of the ones that I have tried have been less than adequate. I've tried a few of Ellen's other pilates workout and didn't break a sweat or felt challenged at all. I was surprised with this one. I actually felt my core and leg muscles working. Most pilates workouts I've found to be too easy and not challenging at all. As an advanced exerciser I needed a challenge. This workout more than met my expectations. - posted by AC on 1/4/2009 |

 Good light-day workout |
| This is a good starting point workout. Ellen is a great instructor and cueing is good. Only complaint is I wish it had more intermediate/advanced moves. It's good for light days as it's rather relaxing and gets the blood flowing, but it's not going to break a sweat for the experienced pilates & yoga exerciser - posted by KO on 11/15/2008 |

| great workout, but Ellen Barret needs to stop talking |
| This was a challenge, for sure. But part of the challenge was listening to ellen barrett talk NON STOP the entire time. Once I have this video memorized i'm going to mute it and put on music. It's too good of a workout to not do simply because of her excessive blabbering. - posted by Kate on 10/22/2008 |

| love it |
| I just love ALL of Ellen's videos. This workout will really tone and improve flexability. Your core will be looking flatter in no time with this dvd. - posted by melissa on 7/1/2008 |

| LOVE this video! |
| I just can't say enough good things about this workout! Ellen is so fun to workout with. I always find myself smiling and amazed that I'm having so much fun exercising! I'm just finally getting back into regular exercise after a year off (had a baby!). This video presents a challenge, yet it's very do-able. I tend to give up halfway through some videos, but this one always keeps me until the end. It never gets old either, it's always one I love to do! And I sure can feel it the next day, especially in my lower body! This was my first Ellen Barrett routine; I just love her and will be purchasing more of her DVDs. - posted by Mary on 6/1/2008 |

| A whole new body |
| This workout has completely reshaped my entire body. I've just recently returned to videos after years in the gym. I had to take some time off (during which I gained weight) and didn't want to pay for a gym membership. I've been doing this workout for about 2 months and I've lost 12 pounds and gone down 2 sizes! There is ZERO dread factor, in fact I wake up excited about working out. The moves are easy to learn, I sweat, and I finish feeling empowered. It's never boring. I've done hundreds of videos over the past 20 years and Ellen is by far the best instructor I've ever worked out with. I just wish I had back the money I paid a personal trainer all those years....(who incidentally was SHOCKED when she saw me recently) - posted by Jen on 5/6/2008 |

| So peaceful and gentle, yet tough. I love that it dosen't focus so much on the "yoga mind stuff". Very well done. Good streching too, love the little piece of heaven! I just love Ellen she's great! - posted by Great DVD on 3/19/2008 |

| A Good Light Workout |
| This is a good workout if you are looking for something easy. I felt it was a bit too repetitive in some areas and did not really challenge me. I like the instructor and the other exercisers in the video, but I would rate it more for a beg/int. - posted by Nikki on 2/24/2008 |

| Loved it |
| It's just at the right level for me. Also, I liked the music. - posted by Rosemary on 2/3/2008 |

| a bit of a letdown |
| This was my first exposure to Ellen Barrett and I was very eager to receive it after all the great reviews. She is super friendly, encouraging and has good energy. I was hoping for more of a workout than I felt this gave me however. The moves are very basic, repetitive and not lacking creativity. I think it would be a great video for beginners or those wanting a light workout. I am returning this one; it's not for me. I found Gaiam's Yoga Dance Fusion with Patricia Moreno to be a much more intensive and refreshing workout -- I actually feel like I'm getting a real workout (and a clear mind) with Patricia's -- it doesn't have the Pilates focus however. - posted by Kathleen on 2/1/2008 |
