Do any of you do yoga?

Are there any good tapes or books you would recommend?
I have wanted to learn yoga for a long time. The classes here are just too expensive. I am not really much for doing tapes alone but if that is the only way then I am willing.......

hugs,train

Hi Donna

I have done Yoga from a tape and really enjoyed it. It is a good muscle building, streching exercise and one that is very relaxing. I will go look at the name of my tape and post again later. I have only had one so I can't compare them for you but would definately recommend the Yoga for exercise.

I have been doing Yoga for several years. My favorite, by far, is Steve Ross of Inhale on the Oxygen channel. There are probably tapes for sale on his website, but I made my own. The show actually airs here at 6 a.m. and I'm just not ready to stand on my head (hehehe) at that time of the morning.

I taped an entire weeks' worth of shows and I can pop my tape in every morning when I'm ready to get started. Then, when I'm done, I don't have to rewind. I just stop the tape and restart the next day. A different show each day keeps things from getting too routine.

I love the workout. Steve Ross is fun to watch and the music is excellent (Mustang Sally, We Are Family, songs by Sting, etc.). He encourages you to do what's comfortable for you.

Give him a look-see. The first time I just watched, thinking how easy it looked (oh, I can do THAT). The next day I was in the floor doing my best, and realizing it was a better workout than I gave it credit for!!! Now I just love it. What a fabulous way to start the day!!

Thanks Katy,
We don't have the Oxygen channel here but will look for his tapes in the stores if he has any available.

peace, train

I want to start practicing yoga again, I find it very relaxing and refreshing. I have a few yoga tapes here and I just bought a 5 pack of tapes on sale for $5.99 at Ocean State Job Lot last week. Granted, they are vhs tapes and not dvd's, but for $5.99 for 5 tapes, I can't complain!!

I bought the CD's for Manual of Yoga Sessions by Yogi Shalom. Dd and I are taking the classes but I want to do it at home too. This is audio not a tape. I like it better than the videos I have with the expection of Living Yoga with Rodney Yee.
