Yoga DVD
« on: March 01, 2016, 11:42:03 AM »

Hi ladies,
Wondering if any of you could recommend a good Yoga DVD?  One for beginners, as I'm absolutely clueless but thought I might give it a go. Thank you.   H x

Or go to a local Club for advice?

Thanks CLKD, I didn't know Davina had a yoga DVD, although I do have one of her fitness ones which is good, when I can bothered !  We don't have a class locally anymore.  I did try one ONCE years ago but couldn't relax in a room full of Lycra clad ladies (I know that was the whole point), and in the calm and quietness of it all I took a dreaded fear of passing wind!!, which in turn reverted me into a uncontrollable giggling mess.  I seem to have a very immature side at times.

You're in the right place then  :rofl:

Maybe use the video you already have and adapt.  I find that laying in a warm bubble bath with Very Good Book and a cuppa works for me  ;) - we have a thread about that somewhere too  ::)

I'd never thought of tai chi.  Maybe not so many difficult positions!  Karate Kid springs to mind  :) H x

I used to do yoga with the children were young.  Now much to stiff so find tai chi much better.

I wouldn't want to any of these specialised exercise things without a tutor in a class. I've never done yoga as I don't like keeping still but I would go to a class rather than do a DVD personally, so you can be sure you are doing it properly and I would feel the atmosphere perhaps might be better in a class? I go to a Pilates Class but never do any of the exercises at home - though probably could get a DVD as well for that if I wanted to practice. I like watching people do Tai Chi - although it depends on the  context - in some places it just makes me want to laugh but in others it looks really serene!

Sorry holidaylover - this is no help to you whatsoever   ::)

Housework is good enough for me ;-).  Running up and down stairs ……. brushing the patio with yard broom ……. ironing for upper body and hoovering for waist and thighs ………. me, I watch Himself wielding the brush/iron/hoovery thingy  :whist:

I can highly recommend Barbara Currie Yoga DVDs. I have been doing them for the past 2 years with great results regarding toning my body and also relaxation.
