Best Pregnancy DVD

I love the Preganancy Health Yoga DVD. It is great for beginners and provides lots of good tips for labour. One of the best I have seen.

Nicki Doane

Nicki Doane's DVD of Ashtanga yoga - the primary series (GAIAM), filmed in Hawaii. This is such a great introduction to Ashtanga yoga, the scenery is beautiful and I love Nicki's instruction. It's the DVD that inspired me to become a yoga teacher.

Yoga For Paddlers

Two 26 minute sessions, each with detailed positioning, cautions & increasing challenge. From www.brushymountainpublishing.com

Shiva Rea

I have a fair amount of her dvd's - the Fluid Power is awesome and has a matrix on there to mix up your practice so it's never the same. She is an excellent teacher.

Pregnancy Health Yoga with Tara Lee

For anyone searching for a pregnancy DVD, I personally find this one quite good. There is not a lot out there for yoga in pregnancy. Tara offers an energizing series and a relaxing/de-stressing one, along with some guidelines for working with poses during delivery. Additionally, there is a visualisation by Obstetrician and creator of the 'Gentle Birth Method', Dr Gowri Motha. Tara is a good teacher, moving swiftly from one pose to another, whilst giving options for health issues, and still teaching the essence of yoga. She always includes breathing in her sessions. I have been practising yoga for years, and do yoga daily, and it's definitely helping me feel energized to get through my busy day whilst pregnant.

Rodney Yee or Susanne Pearson

I love anything by these 2 instructors. Beautiful scenery, lovely music, and just enough calming instruction.

Favorite Yoga Dvd

For sheer fluidity of motion, and really feeling revitalized, Seane Corne is my favorite. She is a little wordy for some but it keeps me going because she is so passionate about her practice! Rainbeau Mars has filmed Sacred Yoga Practice four dvd set in Hawaii, which is gorgeous to watch. Those would be my runners up because she is more beginner (hatha) vs Vinyasa flow style. Namaste!

Cyndi Lee and Rodney Yee

I enjoy Cyndi Lee's yoga DVDs (Om Yoga) because you can follow by sequence or create your own. Also enjoy Rodney Yee for their easy instruction -- he's got a great, calm voice.
—JRevak

Gaiam Series CD's

I like the Gaiam series CD's best. With qualified, professional instuctors like Rodney Yee and Suzanne Deason, you not only get a safe personal workout, but one which shows modified levels of exercise to suit your personal needs and challenge levels. They give an insightful introduction with exercise explanation prior to the instruction of each CD itself and demonstrate proper warm-up and cool-down techniques to ensure a complete and satisfying exercise routine.

Yoga x

I absolutely adore the Yoga x video that's part of the p90x series. It's an hour and a half long, of the toughest yoga I've tried. Yet, each of the 4 trainers in the video offer alternative poses to help make them easier for begginers. This video has really helped my flexability, and weight loss.
—Guest Baconbits2004

Rodney Yee

I have used the Rodney Yee A.M. Yoga for years. Its a great way to start every day!
—Guest lillian

Namaste Yoga

I love Brian Kest's video as well - just took a live workshop with him at Kripalu - it was awesome! I really love the Namaste Yoga series. It's a 2 DVD set with 8 workouts on each DVD. They're awesome.
—Guest Jenn

Namaste Yoga

Love these DVDs. They are great warmup, hatha vinyasa yoga with a cool down at the end. I feel great afterwards!
—Guest Pat

Ana Brett & Ravi Singh Rock!

All of my other yoga videos have been gathering dust since I literally stumbled on Ana & Ravis DVDs on Amazon. I like the variety of their workouts, their easy clear instruction, and the multidimensional approach they take for total fitness. Many of the poses are active and they use breath to speed up the benefits. Every one of their DVDs is unique and different, but each one gives a total body workout and the mood uplift is awesome!
—DebbieLove

Let's Do Yoga

The re release on DVD of Mimmie Louis aka Miriam Serman's Let's do Yoga is fabulous, great attention to detail and a great relaxation session
