Some moves are more difficult than others. Some moves become easier the more you do them. (That DVD won't seem as challenging in a few months). I like it because I get a workout without jumping and jarring my joints. It's nice to have a shift in pace from time to time.<br /><br />I haven't tried the BL Yoga DVD.

I enjoyed the stretch but found being in the class a bit embarrassing at the time. I've recently discovered Exercise TV on demand though my cable provider, and I'm hooked on the yoga videos designed to do in the PM. I've found that it is increasing my flexibility, and it helps me to relax before bed.Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14034154939064403547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-40253145064956302372010-01-30T00:13:58.112-05:002010-01-30T00:13:58.112-05:00I am an occasional yogi.

For a real good yoga workout try Bryan Kest's Power Yoga Complete Collection. It comes with 3 sessions of increasing difficulty, all are about an hour long and they really work you. If you haven't done much yoga and you want something a little easier try "Power Yoga the Complete Workout - Stamina, Strength, Flexibility with Rodney Yee". It also has 3 sessions, but they each have a different focus, they are a lot easier, and they are only 30 minutes long. Try them, your muscles will thank you :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08054505368404497162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-47517542234703624232010-01-29T13:51:13.070-05:002010-01-29T13:51:13.070-05:00I took a yoga class last year at the Y near my hou...I took a yoga class last year at the Y near my house.

ROFL<br />I enjoy doing yoga, either at home or in a class but can TOTALLY relate to feeling a bit uncoordinated during some poses.<br />I would also recommend Rodney Yee's AM/PM Yoga DVD. 15 minute sessions, and easy poses.Sandra Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07617117757272138817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-37228842550864367912010-01-28T21:59:11.002-05:002010-01-28T21:59:11.002-05:00I struggled with weight gain and health issues.

I really would like a class before trying much else to make sure I don't hurt myself!<br /><br />I did watch a great documentary recently called "Enlighten Up" about the relationship between yoga practice and inner peace. The premise is what happens when you take a totally non-spiritual person and make them do intensive yoga for six months?

We are totally synced! Anyway, I am biased towards anything biggest loser because so far I love all the DVDs I tried. <br />As for the YOGA, I too was skeptical at the beginning...but within a week I felt so so good. My suggestion is to give it a try for at least 1 week.<br />Also, the one I did was a combination of flow and pose yoga, so a combination of Hatha and Vinyasa....TRY IT!!!Anusce@Ciao-Chowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710845706740804768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-34645521586991413782010-01-28T20:36:17.366-05:002010-01-28T20:36:17.366-05:00I have not done yoga but I have wanted to... still...I have not done yoga but I have wanted to... still trying to get there.

I am with you on the planks though; I am almost done the 30 Day Shred (I'm pretty ambivilant when it comes to Jillian and she doesn't scream at me on the DVD, so it's all good) which has me doing a wide variety of them and they are the thing that I struggle with the most.

(Obviously. 'Cause I'm no masochist, believe you me!) There are so many different kinds. I always tell beginning clients to try out a restorative class first, then try out others to see which styles they like.<br />For myself, I prefer to hold the poses rather than power through them. I take Bikram (hot) yoga once a week, and often do a few poses here and there just to stretch out. <br /><br />BTW, LOVE the review!!!!!azusmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08833120044345423052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-62346112093682389592010-01-28T16:23:02.014-05:002010-01-28T16:23:02.014-05:00I love doing yoga.
