Can I learn Pilates from a video?

Videos are not good teaching tools. Pilates is a technique which requires students to be cued verbally based on their own movement patterns and physically based on their own habits. Videos can't do this for you. If you want to learn Pilates with professionals and then later use a video as something to do at home in between your Pilates visits, that is another story.
