Good Yoga Video

Oct 2004

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. tatiana


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. namaste

Beginning Yoga Video

Sept 2004

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. Betsy
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. Karen

Beginning Yoga Video

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. Irene
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 lisa

Yoga Video for Kids

May 2003

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. anon


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 - ~Rebecca
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). Sienna
