Getting into yoga...DVD's?
Hey all,
I'd like to start doing yoga. Not even really for exercise, but I think it'd be a nice addition to my morning and maybe evening routine to do a 15-min yoga session. I do not stretch my muscles nearly enough, and I think yoga would be good for that, good for balance, and good for meditation/stress relief.
I have taken a yoga class before, so I'm not a complete newbie. I'd have to refamiliarize myself with it all, but I know the concept of the Core, the breathing, and some of the poses, etc. I don't have the full membership at the gym to participate in the classes, so I can't take actual classes right now (although, it's not out of the question to sneak into a few, they don't ID check and I've gone to various classes before). I have the Wii Fit Plus, and I've done that yoga, but somehow the Wii Fit experience doesn't really offer the fluid yoga session that I'm wanting. Even when I string the activities together, I find that I'm having to deal with the Wii Fit too much to concentrate on relaxation/meditation.
Are there any good DVDs that you've tried for beginner yoga? Again, I'm not looking to become a master yogi or anything, I just want to have 10-20min of routine relaxing stretching.
ETA: I just looked at Amazon and noticed that there are several "Yoga for weight loss" and stuff. Even Jillian Michaels has yoga. That's awesome and all, but I'm really looking for the ambiance of the yoga experience. The flowery voice and nature sounds and meditation music and stuff, haha.
