The tape "Cool It Down" from the Slim Series is a good one. It can be found at beachbody.com Another option might be to check out a beginner yoga video, but I only have Bryan Kest videos which some wouldnt call beginner.

I suggest a tape by Tamilee Webb - she has two strictly stretch tapes but I'm at work so I don't know the precise names of them. I saw them in the collage video catalog.
Another suggestion is Karen Voight's Pure and Simple stretch.
Both excellent. Tamilee's is shorter if time is an issue.

I love Baron Baptiste's "Power & Precision Yoga." It has four 10-15 minute segments ("Water," "Fire," "Earth" and "Wind"), each with a different focus:

1. "Water" - standing poses (mostly sun salutations)
2. "Fire" - strength
3. "Earth" - balance
4. "Wind" - seated/lying poses which have great leg, back and hip stretches.

I almost always skip the stretch portion of a video and add one or two of these segments. It's a wonderful intermediate yoga tape done in its entirety too. I wish he would put it out on DVD!

BTW, Tamilee's 2 tapes are on one DVD. I got mine from Collage Video. I have always heard ggod things about Scott Cole's Millenium Stretch. It is about an hour long. That is why I've never gotten it. -joy

Hi!

I do both sections of "Yoga for Flexibility" every week to improve my flexibility. It's from Living Arts and the instructor is Patricia Walden (she is VERY flexible but don't let that intimidate you.)

There are two W.o. on this tape -- backwards bends and forward bends. I would say this is an intermediate level w.o. I had to work up to it since I was very inflexible. It has made a huge improvement so I do 2 yoga w.o.s a week. I don't think it's available in DVD because it's an older tape.

(PS I'm nearly 46, if that helps you to know that. I'm probably now as flexible as I was in my twenties)
