What's a good yoga DVD to get?

[AnnieOleTing]

Need to do something that requires movement!!

TIA

Whats your previous yoga experience? Do you want a relaxing or a more physical practice.

i haven't done yoga for about two year,since having DD. Before DS I did Ashtanga once a week, though the teacher always said I was very stiff! I also have arthritis, but it is under control, and my movement isn't impaired.
I would like something that gets me going, a little bit of a sweat!
Thanks yogimum

ooh, i'm interested as well. can't get to my ashtanga class now i'm on maternity leave, and don't have the motivation to do a session myself.

Yes, bumper, serious lack of motivation here too.
My ashtanga teacher kicked me out when I was pg!! She said it would be too much for me. I was pretty crap...

okay, these are ones I have or the ones I want.

Yoga with Anne-Marie Power yoga - I have it on video, www.yogawithanne-marie.com

beyond dynamic yoga (the power of ashtanga) with William Robertson www.visima.com

dynamic yoga - the power of practice, with Godfrey Devereux,

Ones I found on Amazon which I would think are pretty good are:

Any of the Gaiam series, there are some with a very good teacher called Rodney Yea.

Bryan Kest, though its says you need a multi-region dvd player. I went to his class in LA. Excellent teacher.

Vinyasa flow with Seane Corne.

I also like Baron Baptiste,Shiva Rea for a more flow practice.

Thank you yogimum.
Would you recommend getting a couple of different ones then, so it's not the same everytime?

I'll have another think and come back tonight.

I would get one to start with just to see if you are going to to it, then get one or two more so you can vary it.

that should have read "do it"

good plan, yogi

Bumper, do you fancy joining me in a motivation attempt?

i have a couple that are quite good, both from the gaiam series: power yoga - total body workout (rodney yee), ashtanga yoga beginners practice (nicki doane). finding time to do them regularly is another matter though!

Oooh annie, i sense a challenge... yes, i need some motivating. TBH i don't even need a dvd i can remember my class sequence. What do you propose?

I was lucky, I carried on my class until I got too fat to do some of the positions and my yoga teacher had just qualified as an antenatal teacher and needed a case study, so I got free private antenatal classes!

Bumper, I've just ordered the Sun Power one that yogimum recommended.

What say we start with once a week? (Or am I being lazy?)
Just shame each other into doing it!!!

Yep sounds good! Do you want to pick a day? How are Tuesdays or Wednesdays for you?

No good, I work those days. Thursday, Sat or Sun.

Thursdays is the day when if dh gets home early i might actually get to my class. Lets say sunday, a good start to the the week!

Sunday it is!!!
Just have to wait for my DVD now, it should be here by then.

Looking forward to it.

Cool! Anyone else want to join us?

You yogaing annie?

I'm going to do it tonight, after dinner when DD is in bed.

Hi Bumper!
Did ya do it, did ya, did ya?
Good on you girl.

I have failed already. I blame the postal system. My dvd hasn't arrived yet. Can I do it when it comes and then join you again on Sunday?

no, I didn't either. no excuse really, baby etc. but next week we both WILL do it. At least I have the guilt now of confessing to you that I didn't. I will try & do it in the week to make up for yesterday and we'll start afresh on sunday

Look and borrow from library first. I get some good ones when they're in, never got round to buying one. Can recommend a good book though....

Ah phew Bumper! Don't feel so guilty now!!

Let's start afresh then. Sunday.

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Thanks WowOoo. Good idea. Just out of interest, which book do you recommend?
