DVD Reviews of Rael Pilates: System 7
DVD Review: liked the exercises and the explanation, instructor creepy for me personally
Summary: 3 Stars
i am a beginner in pilates with background in yoga. i have had a lot of injuries and have poor alignment which makes strengthening challenging. i like it that this is a very gentle system, which emphasizes a lot on form, which i believe is very important. i did expect it to be more advanced than what it is, but at the same time, i don't mind going from the very basics to make sure my alignment is correct.
some movements are basically yoga poses with different or not-so-different names.
here's the negative for me. and it is just a very personal thing. i don't know if it's just me, but is anyone creeped out by the way he touches the woman demonstrator? i'm all for hands-on instruction, but there's something really unecessarily sexual with a lot of unecessary stroking motions that he does on her. i'm a liberal person who is usually very comfortable with touch, and i love affectionate, touchy-feely people. so many of my friends are. i also believe that touch is very important in this kind of body work, and am usually the one snickering at others who have all kinds of hang-ups about it. but somehow what he does seem unprofessional, and, again, creepy to me. personally it is enough to be actually distracting for me. and maybe one thing leads to another, but i find his voice annoying and grating as well.
i also tend to get put off by self-advertising in exercise videos. there is a montage of him teaching, playing with his family on the beach, etc... *rolls eyes* like gandhi says, "my life is my message." your dvd is already your message-to teach. i'm not going to buy another series because you look great swinging your kid around with your pant legs rolled up in that montage, but how you well teach. you know? i'd rather just be able to get down to work without having to forward through all that stuff. this kind of egotism bothers me and strikes me as unnecessary advertising.
obviously i don't like the guy! maybe these negatives sound trivial enough for some. but it is important for me to like the instructor. i'd like to feel open to their energy and not having to have any resistance. this is not the case for me, unfortunately.
however, despite all this, i still may give the next system up a try. as i do find the exercises themselves helpful. i really wish that he didn't rub me the wrong way so much!
