The p.m. stretches are more relaxing and help to re-align your body. They include various relaxing stretches and a foot and lower leg massage. Power Stretch exercises are also part of the stretching regime.

The DVD comes with a small booklet with the a.m. and p.m. workouts and how to use them successfully. It is geared towards the beginner to mid-intermediate and breaks down into (2) 30-minute routines and (1) 20 minute routine. The background music that accompanies the movements is instrumental and pleasant to listen to. An added bonus is an interview with the instructor, Madeleine Lewis.
