As soon as I focus on one thing, something else goes awry. It's kind of the same thing as why someone would not just take 3 piano lessons, then take it from there on her own.

I get the same thing from my Pilates intructor... It's weird: she knows what my body is doing better than I do... And I agree its hard to keep track of what all those body parts are doing...
But, I have to wonder if you could get 80% of the benefit if you were able to to form 80% correct -- and save yourself a bunch of money by going it alone?
But, as you point out, there is the motivational factor as well...
So, if you can afford it and you're getting the benefit -- GO FOR IT!
