I have never been able do any of the so-called beginner dvd's I've spent so much money on. And they didn't show modifications for the totally inflexible beginner...in other words, me.
The other day I popped into the used book store to check out the exercise dvd's and I found one called "Yoga for Absolute Beginners." Since it was $3, I decided to take a chance on it. The teacher's name is Marlon something, I can't remember her last name.
I really liked it. I could actally do the poses, b/c she showed the absolute beginner modifications. I felt so warm while I was doing it, it was obvious that my body was getting a good workout...all those muscles working to keep you in the pose and you relaxing and trying to keep the breathing even. And I felt relaxed and loosened up when I was done! But still felt like I'd "done something." I liked it and I plan to rotate it into my workouts.
There are several 30-minute segments on the dvd. This is nice b/c I simply don't want to exercise more than 30 minutes per day. Every dvd I've ever tried was at least 45 minutes long (most of them 60+ minutes), and at this stage of my life, that's just too long.
I definitely recommend this dvd for the absolute beginner!
