I have recently incorporated one day of yoga in my week. I have stretch max, but I'm also trying a bunch of different yoga dvds from netflix. Does anyone have good recommendations for yoga or stretch dvds? They don't necessarily need to be "netflix-able". Thanks!

Oh, and while I'm here... was anyone as skeptical as I was about that body building story? None of the after pictures had her face included!

Anything by Shiva Rae is great, she's my personal favorite. Also, I've been getting into workouts by Barbara Benagh lately. You can find those on Amazon. Both Shiva & Barbara incorporate premixes on their DVD's which I personally really like. Barbara Benagh's "Yoga for Stress Relief" has over 20 different practices on it, great for dealing with time restraints you have, or specific muscular tension issues you might be dealing with. As far as I'm concerned, you can't go wrong with either of those instructors! :D

Good luck & all the best!
 
Thanks for all of your suggestions! I'll check them out. I'm especially intrigued by the flexible warrior ones, but somewhat intimidated since I am not a triathlete!! I really do like what the one day of stretching only is doing for me!

thanks,

Beth, I'm not a triathlete either. I do bike a lot and used to run before knee problems. I think that the reason why I like these Flexible Warrior workouts is because they are athletic in nature, but I don't think you need to be a triathlete to benefit from them :). If you do decide to go this route Jen at www.advancedworkouts.com has volumes 1, 2, and 3 available for about $31 each. She is awesome to do business with and shipping is free if you spend more than $50.
 
My favorite DVD is Eoin Finn's Power Yoga for Happiness. Yoga Shakti and Fluid Power by Shiva Rea are also really good.

Hi, Karin,

I am dabbing this set of yoga. Did you use all these of them? What are difference? I am actually thinking about buying them for my DD who is figure skater that wants to increase flexibility. Are the program easy to follow? She took some yoga classes.

Thanks

I currently have volumes 1 and 3, but just put in my order for volume 2. Volume 3 has three different segments (each about 20 min long) and each segment focuses on stretching after running, biking, or swimming. It also has a “Energy” sequence, which is a pre sport warm up for range of motion and functional flexibility. I use this volume a lot after I cycle or power walk. I love it. It's very easy to follow. Volume 1 has three different 30 min sessions. I use the third one the most which is the recover one. It is just a great stretching sequence and it has increased my flexibility. The first section is called Warm Up and it focuses on core and stretching. The second section is Cross Train and it is more power yoga inspired.

I think that the programs are easy to follow. I had no experience in yoga before these DVDs and can follow along just fine. Also, one other great thing is that there are people of different levels on the DVD so you can modify the poses and not have to figure out an alternative move.

Does this help? I feel like I just rambled a lot. Let me know if you want any more info.
