I like the Yoga Zone videos, the ones that Alan Finger teaches because he does a very good job with instruction. Yoga Zone's Flexibility and Tone and Flexibility and Stress Relief are two good ones. I also have back issues, in fact, right now I'm nursing a case of sciatica brought on by too much high intensity stepping, so I'm planning on just doing yoga workouts for a week.

BTW, tight hamstrings and tight hip flexors can make back pain worse. You should look for yoga workouts that emphasize opening up and stretching these two areas. Eoin Finn's Power Yoga and Power Yoga for Happiness are great for this. Other good ones are Rodney Yee's Yoga for Athletes and Yoga Zones Yoga for a Strong and Healthy Back. Just remember, when starting out, don't force a stretch. Flexibility takes a long time to achieve.

Oh and Shiva Rea's Fluid Power is one of my newest favorites. It has the best forward bending and twisting segment that really stretches you good in the piriformis/hips, etc. I have been using it almost every Saturday and it feels really good after a hard week of aerobics/weights.

Oh and I guess nobody listed Shiva Rea's Yoga Shakti. Also another great one.
