Yoga DVD or Studio Recommendation?

[SkiBum]

I'm looking to start doing some yoga in addition to my running. I'm wanting an at-home DVD to try. Any recommendations?

I will also take any recommendation for a yoga class locally if you have one. Any time I've ever looked into it, though, the price was so exorbitant I just couldn't do it. If it was reasonable, I would definitely consider a class setting - it's much more motivating than doing it on your own!

Thanks!

This is my fav teacher! She is EXCELLENT if you need modifications for injuries or rehab, and also teaches sport-specific yoga poses to compliment a training workout. My son plays hockey and wrestles and the stretches he's learned are very helpful!

ETA- You may want to take classes for a month or two to make sure your poses get corrected for form before doing dvd's (or podcasts like I do) at home.

Any other recs?

Pitakelly13 - your link is good, wish she had prices on there, but I'll call.

I liked yoga on the wii fit. I live in Plano but I thought the rec center class was good for the price. Wii fit before taking the class helped me...but I learn better on my own.

ETA that yoga classes occassionally show up on groupon.

I actually live in Plano, too - I'll check out the Rec centers! Thanks.

I use the P90X yoga DVD. My only complaint is it's a little long. I actually prefer Pilates, but yoga does a wonderful job stretching and relaxing me!

rayearth - which rec center yoga class did you take? There's a lot of them on there, I was thinking a beginner version, but I wondered what you did.

It was one of the beginner classes but was so long ago I don't remember which one.

I am a Yoga Instructor (new) with Yoga Fit. If you want to get together I'm sure we can work something out that is reasonable for you. (Especially if you had a few friends.)

There is a class that meets in a church on Tuesday and Thursday nights for free. I went when I lived in Plano and loved it. I worked with them almost through the end of my pregnancy and she was great about giving modifications when I needed it. She also asks before the class starts if there is anything we wanted to work on specifically. I love when I'm able to go even though it's really hard for my schedule now. I can't remember the name of the church but it's on 15th east of Independence. Here is her email rrettig3@verizon.net Good luck!
