    Do you think it is best for a super beginner to begin with a video or on our own with directions?

    @jackinorrie I am also a beginner like you, so please take my advices with caution :)

    Only experience I have with yoga is from the last month when I tried to learn few poses.

    My advice is to start with just a few poses that feel good for you and that you'd look forward to every day, and then to build up easily from there when you'll feel comfortable.

    Also, at the beginning don't worry if your poses don't look as nice as on pictures, it'll come with time. Just focus on how does it feel - stretches shouldn't feel painful in the joints, it should feel good and relaxing.

    I had very nice time with a mini sequence - warrior 2, triangle, half moon. Triangle instantly makes me happy and half moon works great as a hip strengthener pose.

    Maybe you can pick few poses that you find interesting, write them down and just focus on trying and learning them first few days?

    Anyway, can you tell I am excited too? :smiley: Great to have you here!

    So looking forward to it! :)

    I searched YouTube for a "Yoga for 30 days for beginners" video series and will be doing this to start with. I have never done yoga before so... this should be interesting!!!! Blast some worship music and play the video... should be a great start to my day every morning :smile:

    I highly recommend Yoga with Adriene on YouTube. She has a beginner series that is awesome plus just short clips on proper poses. Go check it out!!!

    I'd start with videos first, to get correct form and see the "flow" from one move to the next. You'll feel what's best for you on any given day as you get to know what you're body can do. Adriene (spelling?) has good you tube videos, but there are so many good ones out there. Look around and see. Have fun!

    Carlsoda, I didn't mean to repeat what you just said. I just read your post above- great minds think alike!

    Could you share the link to the video you found if you get a chance? I'm completely new. Tried two of the sequences listed in the original post for today, but a video would be great to check my form. I'll be looking on YouTube, but I like to try the ones that get good feedback :smile:

    Tara Stiles also has a lot of nice videos on YouTube, including for beginners. Some are only 10 minutes long too, so you don't have to do a long series. I found Fightmaster yoga as well. So many good free ones to choose from!

    That sounds great!! I am having a hard time getting going - what am I afraid of? So tonight I started clearing out a devoted spot where my mat can stay laid out ready to go. When it is all set I'll send a picture - but for now I am just going to begin.

    I am pretty sure this is my fear. Getting injured just doing a few poses without instruction. I am going to look at both Tara Stiles and Yoga with Adrianne on YouTube.

    You guys are really great!! Thankyou. Until tomorrow... Namaste (teeehee)
