The Best Pilates DVDs

Want to Find the BEST Yoga & Pilates DVDs?

I love the at-home convenience that comes with doing Pilates in my own home along with a DVD. There are so many different Pilates workouts on DVDs at this point that you'll find a good one whether you're a total beginner at Pilates or someone with a lot of experience.

The fact that you can work at your own pace when you're able to within your schedule is enough to make me a convert to doing Pilates alongside great DVDs, but you won't believe how much more affordable it is to buy a DVD vs. attending regular classes at a Pilates school.

Although the in-person attention is great when you're just starting out (if you can afford it), ultimately I'd encourage anyone to pick up a few great Pilates DVDs so they can save money while getting in shape.

Sure, some of the Pilates exercises require special Pilates-approved pieces of equipment. The Pilates DVDs you'll be doing at home won't involve the more expensive Pilates equipment. You often need little else other than a mat and your body, though a couple simple extras can add lots to your practice.

I've listed many of my favorites here for you to check out as well as some great Yoga DVDs and resources.

My Favorite Sites on the Web

All The Best On Yoga & Pilates
Reviews on a bunch of DVDs, the top 10 Yoga and Pilates DVDs for you, a bunch of great music, and where to find the best resources for your practice.
Do You Play the Guitar?
If you do or are even thinking of fulfilling that lifelong dream of playing the guitar, then this site is for you. It's my favorite website as a guitarist myself, and there's free video classes, skype webcam classes, great tips, and loads of incredibly valuable information.
Learn to Read Sheet Music
Still on the music sites, this one is invaluable if you are going to learn music or know how to play an instrument but not how to read sheet music yet. This site explains it all, and does so in an easy and understandable way, to get you reading sheet music & guitar tabs fast.
Natural Way to Cure Your Blues Away
I find this to be a great (and pretty) resource on all the ways you can cure and ease depression in a natural and holistic manner. If you're into healthy living like I am, and have ever experienced depression or know someone that does, then you'll find this site highly valuable.
Create a Conscious Relationship
If you're about learning and growing to be the best person you can be then relationships and your love life is part of this quest (I know it is for me!). This is my favorite site on creating healthy, happy relationships in your life, on creating fulfilling and lasting love.
Do You Have Kids?
If you do, then you'll love this one! I can't get enough of looking at all the natural wooden toys, and find this a very informative site about homeschooling, montessori toys and home activities. Take a look around & you'll see what I mean!

Meditation is Great For You- Try It!

Here's a few great videos to introduce you to meditation

A daily meditation is the absolute best thing you could do for your mind and body- try it out for a couple of weeks and you'll see the incredible calming and centering benefits that it brings to your life.

Commit to a practice that is realistic for your lifestyle, even if its only 10 minutes per day, it's better than nothing.

Try and keep it to the same time every day (or as close as you can) and make sure that you are in a relaxed space, where no one will disturb you.
Make that time your own sacred time. Your body and your mind are your temples, devote some time for them.

Meditation and Relaxation Music

Some Favorites for During or After Your Practice

After yoga or pilates practice you should take a few minutes to relax your body. If you can spare the time then take 20-30 minutes to do a guided visualization or meditation, you'll feel the benefits of this immediately, and if you make this a regular practice you will feel a huge difference in your life, mentally, physically and emotionally.
