Who owns rights to "The Method"?
I know that TA calls her program "The Method," but way back when, "The Method" referred to a series of DVDs which featured Jennifer Kries and other instructors, including Tracy Mallett. They went through several incarnation, including being called "The New Method" at one point. Now, I believe that they are now "The Method Pilates," although I think that all the old instructors are gone, and they seem to have taken on a rather bizarre turn:
http://themethodpilates.com/ Am I wrong? Is that a completely different outfit? Today I also stumbled across this video on Amazon that was just released this month; it is also billed as a "The Method" series DVD (DVD-R, actually): http://smile.amazon.com/Method-Cardi...eywords=cardio I thought it looked interesting, and when I found a photo of the back of the DVD cover, I could see that there were several other DVDs in the series, but I couldn't find any other info or a web site. I'm just curious about this and would love some clarification!

Answering my own question, at least in part. I think that the DVD I found today may have been a re-packaged, re-release...I should have known! Here's how I figured it out:

Gina, I guess that was accidental--my Amazon is set to the non-profit hotline center where my mom is executive director.

Beth - "The Method" workouts have been issued in sets of 4 and seen at Target, and it might be Gaiam. here's a thread about it.
at Target, they've repackaged some of the Crunch workouts too, but not sure if Gaiam is the issuer. Quote:
