This 2-DVD set contains nearly four hours of footage edited from a one-day workshop conducted by Jillian Hessel. Throughout the workshop, Jillian conveys the teaching strengths of her mentors, Kathy Grant and Carola Trier — two of Joseph Pilates' most revered students.

The copiously illustrated Teacher's Manual contains concise descriptions of the exercises, including equipment setup, movement sequences, muscular initiation, breathing, and repetitions. Since each exercise on the video is introduced by a drawing and title, it is easily located in the Manual, linking the live demonstration with detailed written instructions.

Learning From Two Masters provides an authentic look into the history of Pilates. The teachings and personalities of two powerful women are brought to light, all filtered through Jillian's two decades of teaching experience. This is a must-have for serious students of Pilates!

PRODUCT NOTE: Because this video was filmed with a home camcorder, the sound quality is not optimum. Though audible on a standard built-in computer speaker, the spoken narrative tends to be somewhat faint at times. These discs sound best when played with either external speakers or on a good-quality television set.
