When pregnant, I used to do the Shiva Rae\222s Yoga Workout daily.
I loved it!!! But now that I have not done yoga in two years, I
really miss it. I would love to get back into my old routine.
Can anyone recommend a good tape for a beginner? I am looking
for a light 30 (or so)-minute workout, but mostly I am
interested in the relaxation aspect of yoga.

anything by Rodney Yee. I particularly like the ''power yoga''. it's been awhile
since i've pulled them out myself, but his tapes are still kicking around here
somewhere. maybe it's time i dusted them off myself! it's perfect for
beginners like you and me. I particularly look forward to the ''cool down'' at the
end of the workout. his voice almost puts me to sleep and I can actually get
into the ''clearing of the mind'' segment. if you can get past him doing the
video in what looks like a black cloth diaper (?). the other tapes of his i have
are yoga for abs and back care yoga, but i always go back to the power yoga
tape because it's a more comprehensive workout.

I am hoping that someone can recommend a great yoga video or
video series for an absolute beginner. Thank you.
You will learn so much more by attending an introduction to yoga
class rather than using a video. The teacher will be able to
help you understand poses in a way that a video can not. There
are so many good yoga studios and teachers in the bay area.
Feel free to contact me if you want more information.

My absolute favorite video for beginners is an older one
(1993). It is Jane Fonda's Yoga Exercise Workout. You might
not be able to do it all at first but I feel she explains things
really well. I found good reviews and availability on
amazon.com where you can get a used copy.

hi there,
can any one recommend a yoga video for beginners?
thanks, janet
I really like my Yoga For Weight Loss video. The teacher is
Suzanne Deason, and there are 4 women doing 4 different levels.
It's a great workout and the teacher gives lots of good
instruction on how to do the poses carefully.

I bought ''A.M and P.M. Yoga for Beginners'' by Rodney Yee &
Patricia Walden for my first go at Yoga and I really like it

Re: Preschooler Yoga Class
My 3 year old neice has a great kid's yoga video, it's by a
company called ''Gaiam'' (they produce a lot of yoga videos and
have a line of yoga props). I've seen their stuff for sale at
Blockbusters, Discovery Store and on the internet. She will sit
there and watch the video sometimes as if she was watching
cartoons, and other times she'll get up and do it along with
the video. Sometimes my sister does it along with her. Or out
of the blue she will show you the yoga poses she knows. The
video is great as shows kids doing the poses and also compares
the poses to animals etc. which make it easier to remember. For
example, for tree pose, which they call flamingo pose, they
show a flamingo.

Can anyone recommend a good yoga video? Also, I heard mention of
a kid's yoga video - anyone have recommendations? Finally, do
you know of a good yoga video I can do with my 3-year old? (I
checked the website - no yoga video recommendations there.)
Thanks -

My daughter (now 4 and 1/2) has enjoyed a video called
Yoga Kids. She usually just watches it, though. The Yoga
Garden game and books have been more useful in
motivating her to actually move. Of course I am interacting
with her more, too. I find it hard to engage her at all if the TV
is on. I've seen the video for sale at The Yoga Room on
College (before or after a class).
