For about 2 years I lived in a yoga retreat center in the Anza Borrego desert. I did a lot of Gyrotonic and a little bit of pilates. I've had private training in both.
While you can start with an instructional video cold, it is usually best to get a feel for the exercises in a live class and practice at home.
These products, available on Amazon.com are the ones I used, and they work great.
