I think the fun thing for me has been discovering how the work was meant to be translated into functional movement (Joe was all about doing other things). My current certifying organization, PhysicalMind, has a standing pilates certification, but it's so far from the original work and looks..weird and busy. LOL After I'm all done with PhysicalMind, I plan to pursue a more classical certification and really work with a good instructor to learn more of the standing work.

Natural - have you tried the bonus feature, "Joe's Combo"? Michael and Ton said they developed it from archival footage of Joseph Pilates' exercises and it's close to his original standing work.
I haven't tried it, but it looks very challenging.

I did the Triad Ball workout tonight with my pink mini-ball from the 10MS Quick Sculpt Pilates kit.
I managed well, apart from the criss-cross (pic posted upthread) which would have been challenging even with a larger ball. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! The workout was great - the ball was incorporated well throughout, and added quite a challenge in some exercises. As well, you use the ball for some lovely stretches.

I just learned of the Pilates Triad ball because it is used in some of the exercises covered in Pilates for Hip and Knee Syndromes and Arthroplasties ~~ a new book by Beth Kaplanek. Also, thanks for the direct link, great to know about the manual and dvds available...
