Cathe Friedrich (check the spelling) has a nice set of 3 stretch DVDs. FiTV runs it once a week. I read many good reviews about it and recorded it from FiTV, then bought the disk since the commercial breaks come at awkward points. Many of the moves are yoga poses, the commentary is not- so you are not told "Now move to Down Face Dog, flow into Gate Pose" Etc. Sometimes yoga DVDs seem to assume you know a pose without being told how to get there. The series of 3 work outs are 20 mins each. Stretch Max I uses no equipment, II a stability ball, and III a resistance band.
I also love Namaste Yoga on FiTV, it seems to be designed for TV, so commercial breaks are not an issue. It is beautifully filmed, but I always recorded and did the routine later. Some of the advanced routines include awkward handstands and rolling onto your shoulders with your body bent double. At my weight those are not happening! I have never seen the series available on DVD and lots of people complain that the producers focus more on the beauty of the women and the location than the instruction. It is just very relaxing to me.
