any good yoga videos around?

Your local library should have a complete list and availability of videos. I am a yoga enthusiast and teacher. Beginning Yoga for Children is a good basic start.

I haven't tried yoga.  I guess I just picture yoga as just twisting myself in these awkward positions that my body would be like "uh I don't think that's supposed to bend like that" and then trying to breathe and relax.  I feel like I can relax better by just sitting on the couch and watching TV, or just taking a nap.

Ayurvedic Medicine is great, I especially love all the uses of natural ingredients.  There are a ton of great book sout there for you to look at.  I would recomment doing that.  \n\nI don't know much about yoga, I have taken a class in it, but I have an Ayurvedic Medicine woman, and she is great.

It depends on what you are looking for. Cardio - walking, running aerobic tapes.  Strength - bodyweight exercises such as push ups, lunges, chair dips can help.  Flexibility - yoga/pilates tapes are great.

There are different styles of yoga, so my favorite may not necessarily be the best for you.  If possible, I suggest you try to take classes at a few different yoga studios to get a sample of different styles.  Hopefully there are some options in your area.  After the class, if you find a yoga insructor you like, you could ask her/him what style would best describe  his/her practice and if there are any famous instructors with videos in that style.  Also, a video can help you get in more yoga sessions when you don't have the time or money to go to class, but I still suggest you try to make it to classes every once in a while.  There is no substitute for having a quality instructor see you practice and offer guidance on improving your practice.\n\nWith that said, here are a few of the videos I've heard about that might be good:\n\nRodney Yee (good videos; lots of upper body strength, but not as aerobic/active as I like)\nShiva Rea (lots of women really like her; very graceful, flowing, almost a form of dance; don't know anything about her videos though or whether she is appropriate for beginners)\nBaron Baptiste (corepower yoga -- as the name suggests, very active and requires strength; probably not best for beginners; very popular especially for very athletic people)\nSeane Corne (vinyassa flow class; not too fast paced; may be a good starter video)\nRichard Freeman (Ashtanga -- very challenging strenght form  of yoga; I like this type; I'd be reluctant to recommend this to a beginner without going to classes first to avoid hurting yourself.  Lot's of jumping and challenging inversions.)\n\nYou might want to check specifically for yoga videos for beginners.  I have not looked for these.  I'd avoid videos by aerobic instructors and others simply getting on the yoga bandwagon.\n\nHope this helps.  I'm not a yoga instructor, so hopefully someone more knowledgable than myself can provide you with better guidance.

Yoga is great exercise and an amazing stress release.  It is very relaxing and really teaches you to focus on what you are doing, and your breathing, instead of the outside world.\n\nThe best way to start would be to find a gym or yoga studio with beginners classes.  It is really important to have a good instructor when you first learn so that you don't hurt yourself, and so that you get the most out of the postures.\n\nI was always shocked when I thought I was fully in a pose, and the instructor would walk over and adjust me an inch or two and it was a whole other feeling!!\n\nThe other thing about yoga is - don't rush it.  You can do the same poses for a year and still get the benefit from doing it.  Don't feel like you have to rush from beginner to intermediate in any timeframe.  Once you learn poses in class, try doing just one or two of them at home every day, and you will feel much better.

Have you tried bellydance? I love the bellydance tapes by Veena and Neena Bidasha. They help tone in areas difficult to tone with regular exercising plus make you feel great about yourself. You can buy their DVDs pretty much anywhere online like Overstock or Amazon for about $12 or $13. I'd recommend the "Basic Moves & Fat Burning" one if you've never done bellydance before.

I had excellent results with a video tape called "Yoga for Weight Loss".  Here's a link, but it is available all over:\n\nhttp://www.fogdog.com/fog-gaiam-am-yoga-for-weight-loss-kit--pi-1736103.html\n\nI also think that the Yoga Journal's Pose Finder is awesome - and for weight loss I would look for poses for the abdomen and the thyroid (to increase metabolism):\n\nhttp://www.yogajournal.com/poses/index.cfm?ctsrc=welcome\n\nI also searched Yoga Journal for weight loss and came up with several articles:  \n\nhttp://www.yogajournal.com/search.cfm\n\nPeace!

Yoga is incredible, great for the body and the soul. It improves circulation, flexibility, breathing and muscular tone. Its low impact so its great for joints too!

I am a conscientious but nondenominational exerciser, and coming to Bikram (a.k.a. "Hot") Yoga began more as a scheduling convenience than devotion to its unvarying regimen of 26 poses (asanas), each performed twice and held for what can seem like forever over the course of the nearly two-hour class. \n\nYoga comes in almost as many guises as there are yoga instructors, but most classes build on the same basic foundation of poses performed sitting, standing and lying down. Although some, like the Sun Salutation, consist of a progression of steps, more often the goal is to work gradually toward a single ideal shape: the bow, the triangle, the cobra. My needs are simple: I want supervised, intensive stretching, and every yoga class I've ever attended offers at least that. \n\nThe truth is, I hated this Bikram class when I started. At first I returned only because I was desperate — the victim of a muscle-kinking bout of business travel (cramped airline seats and strange beds). Our teacher, Leah Weisman, seemed to talk incessantly. The room was always full, from 30 to 50 people. And the space was intentionally overheated. \n\nTrue Hot Yoga requires a room temperature as high as 105°F, supposedly so muscles warm up quickly and stretch more easily. This gym's drafty old studio achieves only Balmy Yoga — about 81°F — which is just as well. I've experienced optimal Bikram temperatures just once, and frankly, that's way too much bodily fluid shared and dripped and flicked around among a bunch of people who know one another in anything less than a biblical fashion. \n\nBut the thing I hated most about the class was that at the very end, while everyone was resting for a few minutes in the stillness of Shavasana, the corpse pose (designed to quiet the mind), Leah broke into song. Classroom scuttlebutt is that she has been known to sing On a Clear Day, You Can See Forever, but I've only heard her sing verses from New Age-y folk tunes that mention planets spinning around the sun and the Earth Mother calling her children home. \n\nWhy torture myself so? Simple: love triumphs over hate. As it turns out, Leah is an excellent teacher. Week after week she goes through the same routine without ever falling into autopilot. She is very "present in the moment," as she might describe it. Leah offers cautions about overexertion, suggestions on how to do each pose at various levels of challenge, and great good humor. Last week she talked about a meditation seminar she had attended and called the impromptu lecture her "sermon on the mat." \n\nAs a gasping heater blows lukewarm air around the room, she intersperses practical instruction ("Pull up your quads as you pull down your hamstrings") with abstract concepts ("Remember, you're burning new neurological pathways") that I take or leave, depending on my mood. \n\nLeah wanders among the students, propelling the class forward even as she stops to adjust an arm angle here or perform a thyroid-massaging chin tuck there. She urges noncompetition, with oneself ("However you do the posture today is how you should do the posture") and with others ("How can you compare yourself to your neighbor? You don't have the same body!"). Her monologue becomes a mantra, returning my oft-wandering focus back to the pose I'm attempting. Where is my center of balance? Can I feel my spine stretch if I imagine my head and tailbone pulling in opposite directions? How does my alignment shift when I turn my foot three degrees to the right? \n\nSome people criticize Bikram for being too arduous, but as with all yoga, much of the responsibility falls to the individual. I welcome this opportunity to eschew faster, higher and stronger in favor of deeper. In this regard, the simplicity of Bikram's poses is one more way to avoid being distracted from myself. \n\nTo spend this much time slowly and gently stretching is a luxu
