Yoga DVD for seniors?

Does anyone have any recommendations of a good basic yoga DVD for seniors? My mother is 74 and has found that she has gotten very stiff in the past couple of years. I have found that yoga has helped me loosen up, so I think it might help her. (My grandmother did yoga into her 80s and was very fit). Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks!

    If she is fairly fit, any beginners DVD will work. If not look for titles like "chair yoga" or "gentle".
    The AM/PM yoga by Gaiam is tame.

    I recommend taking a few classes first, especially if she has had any structural surgies or other health issues.

    She teaches yoga to seniors and they benefit from her instruction. Her dvd's can also be found on amazon.com
