Pilates/yoga at home?

Can anyone suggest some good home pilates and yoga workouts? I can't make it to as many classes at my gym as I would ideally like with my current schedule. Any length of time is fine as I like varying them depending on how much time I have.
I'm getting a bit bored of the ones I currently do and am looking to switch it up. Thanks!

YouTube.
There's a lot of channels that have pilates or yoga based workouts on there, constantly.
Blogilates is a great one.0 -
The Tone it up girls on Youtube have some good at home workouts. Blogilates as well.0

I will second You Tube but there is also an awesome free app called Sworkit that has random workouts including yoga, stretching, cardio warm up and full intensity and strength exercises and it allows you to pick how long you want your workout to last. My friends and I use it and it's an awesome workout. 30 minutes of the full intensity cardio burns about 400 cals for me (I wear a HRM to get calories burned.)0

Bumping for future reference.
I take a yogalates class, but would definetly like to do more at home too!0 -
There's an app called daily yoga that I like.0

I use My Yoga Online.. it's a monthly subscription but there are so many yoga, pilates, and meditation videos to choose from. I can't live without it! I use it every day!0

I tried many DVD instructors, and my favorite is Rodney Yee. Every routine of his is perfect. You can find his DVDs on Amazon. Youtube has them as well. Just look through different titles, see what area you want to target. I have Power Yoga, Yoga Burn, Yoga Abs, Flexibility, and Strength, and all of these are kick *kitten*. Challenging and not boring!0

A youtube search will get you some good videos.

Yogadownload.com
Tons of free videos and $90 a year to unlock all videos0 -
my favorites are from: http://www.doyogawithme.com/yoga_classes . They also have a youtube channel so I can stream it on my Wii to my T.V.
I own Yogaworks Beginners & bodyslim which are my go to favorites. Also a big fan of Sara Ivanhoe's Yoga on the Edge series.0 -
when I can't go to class I hook my ipad up to the tv and stream youtube videos. I tend to do Baptiste Yoga so I search for those.0

Have a look at yogastretches.net for some really good downloadable classes.0

Several friends of mine have been very pleased with a yoga program that "reshapes" your body. They seem to be getting results and really enjoy it. You can find it through www.topyogaprogram.com.0

I've just been poking around YouTube looking for free online pilates I can do at home and came across finetunepilates - http://www.youtube.com/user/finetunepilates/videos - which is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm going to give it a go regardless but is always good to hear other people's thoughts.0 -

I love Rodney Yee!
I just signed up for GaiamTV, where you can stream all the Gaiam videos. Tons of Rodney Yee videos, some Jillian Michaels stuff (I haven't looked at it closely because she's too intense for me), yogakids videos, and just tons of yoga and pilates and workout stuff. You can browse through it and sort things based on instructor if you like (or time, or what area you want to target). There are also some programs that talk about nutrition, and then some documentaries and the like.
I also really liked Bob Harper's yoga videos. I have his yoga for weight loss dvd, my bff has his yoga for warriors dvd. I think hers is harder, she thinks mine is, so it's pretty subjective. The Yoga for Weight Loss dvd shows a lot of modifications though, which I love. When I was just starting to get into yoga it was really helpful to be able to see what I should do (rather than just resting until the next pose), when I felt like I couldn't get into some of the poses.0 -
Also, if you can check out some classes, even just once a week or sporadically whenever you can fit it in, I highly recommend that. I loved yoga, but didn't start feeling the mental benefits until I started going to a yoga class.0

I used to live for Winsor Pilates a few years back. They are still my favourite pilates dvds.
All the dvd's are available on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=winsor+pilates0 -
Practicing Yoga comes with a lot of mental and physical benefits which include safe weight loss. You can also visit about Yoga Fitness Guru http://yogafitnessguru.com/0
