Problems with cueing

Submitted by Marcia on Tue, 03/06/2012 - 11:28.

I have trouble with the cueing on the video, particularly when I am in positions where I cannot see the screen. The instructor keeps saying "Exhale, inhale" but does not say what positions you are supposed to be in during the breaths and I cannot follow the instructor. For example, there were times during the bridging when my back was on the floor and I found that the instructor's back was lifted up, and vice versa. I also noticed that during side kicks, the instructor was kicking forward and back, although it sounded from her instructions like I was only supposed to kick forward.

It would be better if the instructor simply explained the breathing at the beginning of the exercise, and then during the exercise itself said up, down; right, left; front, back, etc.

As the video is now, I found it very difficult to follow.
