Gaiam, Inc., the leading distributor of lifestyle media and fitness accessories, recently announced the release of Trudie Styler’s Sculpt & Tone Ballet featuring the actress, producer, and environmental activist. This is the fourth DVD release in the Trudie Styler mind body and fitness series that combine elements of yoga, Pilates and ballet with traditional exercises. It also features Trudie’s personal celebrity fitness trainer James D’Silva, who trained as a ballet dancer in his native Goa.

Filmed at Il Palagio, the eco-friendly villa Styler shares with her husband Sting in Tuscany, True Styler’s Sculpt & Tone Ballet offers two 25-minute ballet workouts. The first workout is a barre routine designed to improve strength, balance, and posture, followed by a chair routine that uses conventional and modified ballet moves to increase flexibility while toning muscles.

Bonus features for the DVD include interviews with Styler, Sting, and D’Silva, with music from Sting’s classical album Songs from the Labyrinth; a special Chakra Meditation with Styler and D’Silva; a behind-the-scenes look at the self-sustaining Il Palagio estate and the couple’s organic wine production; and a step-by-step footwork tutorial designed to help beginners become accustomed to ballet moves.
