For those of you who do yoga, or even pilates, can you recommend any good dvds? Thanks!

    I'm a huge fan of anything from Ana Brett - fat free yoga is a great one.

    I just picked up Jillian Michael's Yoga Meltdown and love it....

    For pilates-I have two by Giam=features Ana Caban Beginning Mat Workout and Cardio Pilates.

    I get bored pretty easily, so I have several dvd's that I rotate....I like the cardio pilates for the cardio aspect, but it is redundant.

    hope that helps some.

    I have Netflix, so I am trying out the streaming yoga options available there.

    One that I am liking is the 10 Minute Solution yoga. The instructor speaks quickly and clearly. Her instructions were easy enough to follow that my 5 year old did the basic routine with me and could keep up despite her speed. Her appearance and delivery are a little reminiscent of Parker Posey. If you know what that means, then you know whether this is a good or bad thing for you. Because the sequences of poses move so quickly, I have a few hiccups getting the rhythm of inhale/exhale to sync up with the poses correctly. I am used to Wai Lana and the Yoga for Health types of routines which are much slower and deliberate and work the muscles groups in a different way. (I am sure there is a name for each type but I will never remember all the yoga vocabulary. One thing I appreciate is when the instructor tells me where to stick what body part, as opposed to telling me to do a named pose. When I get the names mixed up I invariably end up sprawled in a heap on the floor like a one woman Twister game.)

    The DVD is divided into 10 minute chunks, and she wears a different colored outfit in each segment (makes for easy scrolling through to the section I want). The whole disc can be done as a 50 minute routine or you can go "a la carte" and pick which bits you want to use, even just doing one at a time. (This is why I am liking it so much. My family is incapable of letting me get through a 45 minute yoga routine.)

    They also make a pilates DVD but I have not tried it.
