This video is in slow motion from 1:25 - 1:29 min. Nice trick to look a little bit cooler! ;-)

@forbes923 Maria makes it look like slow motion, but no slow motion effects were done in camera or editing. I see Maria hover like this in practice all the time. Many practitioners are able to hover or float in practice. Thanks for watching. ... Charles

Thank you. Good pacing and well-timed voice instruction. I would buy a DVD of a 60-minute class in a heartbeat. Thanks for posting useful chunks instead of just promo footage!
