BODYBALANCE® 41 is an innovative release. The Tai Chi Warmup is expressive and dramatic in both the movements and the music. This carries you into the very different Sun Salutations Track combining an uplifiting Celtic sound, courtesy of Irish folk singer Moya Brennan and an energetically structured Sun Salutation sequence. Reaching new depths early in the class allows you to surrender into the powerfully emotive Tracks 3, 4 and 5. You'll reach new levels of strength and awareness in the Core Tracks which include the fun new move — The Pilates 100's. Then settle into a state of peace for the Twists and Forward Bends. The music in this release is truly inspirational. There is a soulful start with Sarah McLachlan's Silence, you move through a series of expressive poses to Annie Lennox's deep, heartfelt Dark Road, sing along to Alicia Keys' popular hit No One and let Moby's 18 wash over you as you flow smoothly from one pose to another. The class finishes with Presence from Ty Burhoe's incredible CD 'Invocation'.

Set sail on the Love Boat with BODYVIVE™ 7! You're going to love the nautical theme that runs through most of the tracks — in the song title, the singer's name or what you might do if you were sailing on the sea! This release is full of musical memories and new moves to keep improving heart fitness, functional strength and a strong and stable core. Look forward to innovations — the Side Step & Rise in Track 2 and the Dynamic Lunge with Knee Lift in Track 4. This is great for strengthening the quadriceps and gluteal muscles as well as improving balance. The Side Lunge Shoulder Press and Standing Tricep Extension in the Functional Strength track really work the muscles of the shoulder, resulting in a strong, stable joint and whole integrated body strength. You're going to love the music! Jump with the Pointer Sisters, rock out to Smoke On The Water and groove to the smooth, sweet sounds of the All Saints' Pure Shores. Another musical highlight is Waterloo — selected due to popular request. You'll finish BODYVIVE™ 7 feeling restored, revived and buzzy!
