Yoga DVDs?

[ThetaPrincess24]

I would recommend a DVD for beginners if you've never done it before.

My first yoga experiences were actually from VHS videos! I bought some videos by Gaiam-- Power Yoga for Beginners and Abs Yoga for Beginners. I used them quite a bit actually and sometimes looking back would almost rather do one of those than attend one of my classes!

I have the Yoga for Beginners, the most basic DVD I believe. I'm not sure if I'd recommend it though. It's not very engaging and I felt more bored than relaxed. However, you can skip around to make it as long or short as you want which was nice.

I would recommend finding a a local studio that allows you to "drop in" for a small fee (the ones around here are $10-$15) and take just a class or two to get the basic postures down. I only say that because a DVD can describe the postures but can't correct you if you're doing it wrong.

Denise Austin has a variety of yoga dvds.

some people find her too chipper, but i love her. her "yoga personality" isn't exactly the same as her "aerobics personality" if that makes any sense.
