Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Yoga video tape or DVD

Hey Andy,

Welcome to the Yoga board! So glad to hear that you are interested in learning a bit more about yoga. There are lots of places that you can buy/check out yoga DVD's. For instance by going to www.gaiam.com and clicking on their yoga DVD link, you will find lots to choose from. Also, Borders bookstores and even your local library (depending on where you live) might have some too. But having said that, the best way to learn yoga is to take a class with a certified teacher. The yoga DVD's will instruct you on many things but it can never take the place of a hands on class with a teacher. In a class, a teacher can find modifications to postures that will specifically work for your body and the experience is ultimately very different than just following along with a tape at home.

I know lots of folks who like the Rodney Yee and Patricia Walden tapes that are available from Gaiam. Suggesting tapes is tricky business because folks always have different taste and don't neccesarily like the same things. Either way... let me know which one you end up with and again, if you have the time and the desire try to check out a local yoga class to support your home practice. AND remember that not all teachers or styles of yoga are the same.... if you don't like your first experience, try, try again until you find the right fit. Hope this helps.

Peace,
K
