    They have a lot of free videos. Good for beginers as they go through the poses in detail.

    You can use the website for free and have access to many videos. There is also a $20 a month premium membership which gives you access to much more videos.

    I disagree--depending on the DVD, they will guide you through the proper moves-I know the MTV Yoga DVD I recommended has an Introductory session that is JUST for going over all the moves & they have a person during the workout to show you all the variations (beginner, intermediate, advanced). I started doing Yoga on a DVD before I started taking a class. Doing the DVD is what gave me the courage to take the class at my old gym. And you don't have to spend a lot of money on the DVDs either. I get most of mine for ~$8-10 which seems reasonable for me.

    It's still not the same as having someone who can see you and correct your postures. , or push you to go further than you think you can. For ages when I started I thought I could do downward dog (how could you get it wrong, you'd think), but then one day the teacher came and adjusted my hips which totally changed my whole balance and made the posture feel completely different and way more challenging. I'm not saying self practise is useless but I do think if you have the opportunity to take a class with a professional, they will help you so much.

    I also had a downward dog adjustment on my hips my elbows and my toes. Huge difference. Its amazing how small changes can help you get the most out of a pose.

    I love anything by Kino McGreggor. But her stuff requires some serious strength!
