    I would try going to your library and trying a few out. There are also free podcasts, yoga journal has one.

    You should also try going to a few different classes. The first class is usually free.

    I would recommend going to an actual yoga studio with instructors to learn, but if you can't do that, then I would recommend a beginner DVD by Rodney Yee. He seems to give the best instructions on how to do the poses so you don't have to constantly look at the screen to see what to do.

    10 Minute Solution, Yoga for Beginners. It's almost an hour long if you combine all of the exercise. I love it for days where I don't want to blast through an intense 20 min workout

    Are you looking for relaxing yoga? I do one for strengthening the spine by Rodney Yee. I feel so peaceful afterward.

    Have you tried checking out your local libraries to rent some yoga DVDs? It's nice to be able to try before you buy.

    Sarah Ivanhoe is also a great DVD instructor! She's very easy to follow. I have several of hers.

    I have "Yoga Zone" for beginners. I also have several other yoga dvd's. I really like Yoga Zone and that is the one I usually use. I am not real flexible and they have someone doing the poses with modifications that I can almost do. Alan Finger goes over breathing technique very thoroughly and tells you when to inhale and when to exhale during the poses which helps me. This would probably not be real good if you are experienced in yoga as it is really for beginners. Take a look at www.Collagevideo.com. They have all kinds of dvd's and you can take a peek at them too. I think they allow you to return them if they are not for you, but not sure. Hope this helps.

    You could try something like YogaGlo.com. Lots of teachers, styles, and levels. There's a 15 day free trial, and then a monthly subscription fee. Much cheaper than studio classes! Dice Iida-Klein and Kathryn Budig's practices have helped me a lot in my arm balance/inversion practice, and they're both very fun. I love it.

    I agree. There are so many on YouTube that I like. I started using videos online to change my routine up. Sadie Nardini and Esther Ekhart are two instructors on YouTube who are fantastic. Feel free to message me if you want specific links.

    I would recommend "Doyogawithme.com". It is a free website with tons of great yoga videos for any level. You can select the level and time. I love it!

    I highly recommend Sara Ivanhoe, but otherwise yogadownload.com has free 20 minute recordings you can download. Granted, there's no video, but they do a pretty good job of explaining how to get into the poses. Otherwise Tara Stiles has tons of vids on YouTube with a lot specifically for beginners, though she moves pretty fast so you might want to watch the vid a few times through before actually trying to do it with her.
