    I do a yoga DVD fairly regularly (right now I'm using P90X with Tony Horton leading), but for me there is no replacement for an actual class. I tend to be more focused, work harder, and feel better with a live teacher and other humans near me. Maybe it's the competition factor or maybe it's more misty-woo-woo, like everyone's energy contributing to the good vibe of the class or something. That being said, I took my boyfriend to a class and he felt really intimidated and hated it! To each his own! That's my two cents :)

    If you have cable, they have a free exercise channel with many yoga options on it.
    I also recomend Yogaworks DVDs...they're great!
    I LOVE yoga!
    Good luck!

    Does anyone do Yoga at home? I notice that the older I get, the more my joints ache when I exercise - walk or jog or otherwise. I'm thinking of beginning a morning routine of Yoga before I start my day. I'm hoping it'll help me with my muscles/joints. Any ideas of any websites? or DVDs?
    Soooo funny because I came to this revelation Monday and I did a video on ON Demand with Fios. I was so sore the next day!!!! I am so NOT flexible! I need to do so much more on a consistent basis. You are not alone.
    Is there a 'Yoga" group in the group forums????

    My family owns two yoga studios so I have been doing yoga since I was a toddler ("doing" yoga). There is nothing better. Yoga is both incredible for you physically and mentally. i just got home from Yoga and feel amazing. My mom is a yoga guru and is toned and fit beyond belief. I see all types of people walk into her business and come out with a smile.

    For online yoga go to Yogavibes.com and you can subscribe to certain class from all different studios, that you you get the real experience at home. but getting into an actual class is also very effective. esp. with heat.

    If you try out Yoga vibes, find Verge Yoga!!

    good luck and Namaste

    I've been using the WII and Wii fit plus, it has yoga and a lot of other great exercises you can do. That's what I've been using for the last 4 months.

    Sara Ivanhoe's DVDs are great and there are two YouTube channels to check out - "yogayak" and "yogatic" - I swear by yoga and when I'm hurting from an intense workout I make sure to fit some yoga in to help relax, stretch and soothe my muscles.

    Sara's are my favorites too. The ones I have are in the Crunch fitness series.

    If you are looking for stress relief, I used to LOVE AM/PM yoga. A DVD with a short yoga session to wake/warm you up in the AM and another for PM to relieve the stress of the day.

    Not sure if you have a Lululemon store near you - they actually do some free yoga classes - my local one has classes on a Wed and Sat....

    I did yoga in University... and HATED it. But I have started doing it again (5 years later), and I actually enjoy it. I do very simple moves and have a 15 min video I do 5 nights a week. I feel much less tense because of it. So I've learned to love it for how it stretches me out.

    There are a whole bunch of yoga DVD's out there, and I'm sure there are yoga classes near you too.

    I think at least a few sessions of a live class is worthwhile.

    As far as DVDs go, I have a bunch from Gaiam and from BodyWisdom, and they are pretty good.

    Gaiam Yoga. . is awesome. . I do an AM/PM tape at night, and totally love it. . It feels great after working out hard. One of the other yoga dvds that I got was a 10 min workout dvd from walmart. There are five different segments on there for different things then you can mix and match and customize what you would like to do the yoga for. . .

    i like rodney yee. he recently came out with a dvd called "daily yoga." i like his intermediate yoga and power yoga too. also, sarah ivanhoe "yoga on the edge" is good - more challenging than rodney yee. they both film a lot of their dvds in nature, which i way prefer to a studio setting.
