Britain’s healthiest couple enjoy a healthy rivalry

There’s nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition, and that is exactly what is set to take place between a married couple as they release rival fitness DVD’s on the same day. Accredited Yoga teacher and author on the subject, Liz Lark, is to launch Yogalibre on 28th April, the same day as her husband, and Juventus football team consultant, Peter Roberts releases Pilates Unplugged. Arguably the healthiest couple in the country, the two will be going head to head as they launch their fitness DVD’s together.

Yogalibre, meaning ‘Yoga for freedom’, is a concept that Liz has developed from the Hartha method of the practice, and has been designed for Yoga starters and experts alike. Traveling the world to deliver tuition at retreats around the world, and with several books under her belt, Liz Lark is a trusted name in the Yoga world and has been described by Mariella Frostrup as “the best yoga teacher on the planet”.

Shot in the tranquil setting atop a Cornish cliff Yogalibre is both the perfect introduction to Yoga and the solution to developing intermediate practitioners to the next level.

Currently working with top Italian football team Juventus, the club has recruited Peter’s services to implement his Pilates practice to help maximise the potential of many of the players, seeing the team mount a serious challenge for the title this year.

Having recovered from severe spinal injury that threatened his chances of ever walking again, Peter was once filled with metal pins, and contracted MRSA whilst in hospital. Overcoming these challenges he learned to use Pilates to regain his strength and with his vast knowledge on the subject, he has produced Pilates Unplugged.

The DVD focuses on Pilates beginners, but also appeals to users with experience who will learn a lot from Peter’s knowledge of the muscle system. Described as ‘amazing’ and ‘invaluable’ by Juventus footballer’s Mendes and Zebina, Pilates Unplugged is set to reach a wider audience whilst still appealing to the traditional market for such fitness DVD’s.

Both Pilate’s Unplugged and Yogalibre go on sale with an RRP of £15.99 from 28th April 2008 and will be available from all leading DVD retailers.
