yoga dvd suggestions pleeeease
Hi everyone,
I have noticed that a few members here have mentioned yoga poses and figured i could get good advice on this. I want to incorporate yoga to my schedule but dont have any time to go to any classes. The next best thing would be to get a dvd but I am having the worst time deciding on one. I already own the p90x one but find it too long. I can only stand to do it once in a while….. Please let me knpw which ones you guys have triedvand loved. Thanks for all the help! -

I can't be of too many help, I'm afraid. But I think there are some good yoga channels on YouTube too. Maybe someone else can recommend some?
-
I’m not very patient with youtube but that might be my best bet until I can do more research on the different dvds out there. Thanks!

I have only tried the videos from Brian Kest and they were really good. Not sure what your goals are with it, but If you strive for more flexibility a class with a good teacher will push you unlike a video. Never the less, to learn the poses alone a video is great.

Yogatoday.com has some good routines. They also have lots of free classes you can get through itunes.
Eion Finn has quite the following as well. His 'happy hips' one is good for opening the hips.

shellypoles- I’m looking to improve my strength even more than flexibility. Trying to hold my legs up while spinning is very hard for me and I know that yoga will help with that. Thanks for the suggestion, I will look him up as soon as I get home today : )

freethesun – great site! I browsed a bit and loved it, can’t wait to really look around. Thanks!

Brian Kest's videos might be good for you then, they are power yoga- a bonus is that he is nice to look at 🙂

I love Rodney Yee. His videos are very relaxing yet challenging. The camera angles are great for following along.

Trudy Stiler (sting's wife) has a great series of dvd's out.
I have her "Warrior Yoga" dvd and it's my fav. I plan on getting her dvd for ballet bar too…

I have a quick question for those of you that use yogatoday.com. Are the lessons taught for one pose at a time or are they like a full workout session? I think I will benefit from the lessons there, thanks for the suggestion ladies!

they're taught as sequences although if you do the beginner ones they are pretty good at explaining in depth, and you can pause and rewind if you're still unsure.

My favorite general yoga is "Ali MacGraw – Yoga Mind & Body". It's kind of an old one, from the early 90s I think, but it finds its way into my dvd player at least twice a week. If you want a more beginner-ish one try "Hemalaya's Yoga for Young Bodies" which has 3 routines on it. For a more intermediate challenge I like "Hemalaya's Yoga for Urban Living" but if you're not used to yoga take it easy with this one at first(I ended up hurting my back the first time I tried it with too much enthusiasm). Hope that helps!

You know what? That Ali McGraw one IS really good. I still have it on VHS and it still does the trick.

Perfect! Another one to look up : ). I have a pole class in an hour and then coming back home to do my homework on all these yoga dvds. Can't wait to order one and start yoga at least twice a week.
