PiYoga Videos?

I'm asking this here since I'm looking for something fairly specific.

I'm looking for PiYoga videos that are free and can be pulled up on Youtube - preferably for the beginner who happens to be a 33 year-old with 50 year-old hips.

Would anyone happen to have any recommendations?

    I did Craigslist search earlier today and found a couple cheap options.

    It's not piyo, but I recently came across an amazing yoga channel on YouTube called yoga with Adrian. :smiley:

    I realize that doesn't really help in your search, but thought I'd share.

    Yes. Unfortunately, many of the results on youtube are dance-fusion (not interested, as I get plenty of cardio), or seem to be inexperienced people who may or may not actually know how to instruct in Pilates or yoga.

    I'm willing to pay a little, but then I run into the risk of wasting actual money on the same issues I listed above.

    I was hoping someone would chime in with a "Yes! X program is the best thing ever!" and I could go from there. I guess PiYoga is still a little too specific a workout.

    Have you looked at Chalene Johnson's PiYo program? It is not free (and not what i would consider cheap) - it's a cardio workout based on Pilates and Yoga with most of the moves being Pilates/Yoga - just done at a pace designed to burn calories - I really like it myself...

    I will check into that. Thanks!

    Could you just alternate pilates and yoga workouts? I am not sure what piyoga gives you that the individual pieces do not, sorry if this is a silly question... :)

    Not a silly question at all. I might have to be satisfied with that.

    The combination is said to improve your flexibility while strengthening the muscles in a shorter workout time. Since I'm only using these workouts as a supplement during off days/days when I can't make it to the gym or outside, I'm not going to be doing them super, super often (2-3 times a week, maybe). Starting two different videos wouldn't be the end of the world. I just like to be efficient with my time.

    Definitely check out Chalene's PiYo. I've been doing it & love it. I paid $65 from Beachbody.com but you can Check eBay or craigslist to see if you can get it at a lower price :)
