Dont get me wrong,the exercises are good for what they are,you can feel the freedom they give you.I am not sure if they are taken from general relaxation exercises.Some of the things he does are the same as i have read about on here like lip trills and sirens.I think he knows his stuff and as i am a complete beginner i was drawn to him.As i said its the money you pay out to get the complete system,when you join the members site you do get an option to buy the whole programme for a reduced amount with a 1 off payment of nearly $700 . When you compare that with the price of four pillars, which i now have, or some of the others that are recommended on here ,for me, its a bit of a rip off.As Videohere says you do get a 30 day money back offer but to be honest as abeginner the first 4 dvds only just get you started so you naturally want to see whats coming next and pay for the next month and once you've done that the money backs offer is finished.
