Whether you are looking for an excellent video for the beginners or for experienced yoga teachers, there are many videos and DVDs currently available to chose from.

A well produced, informative Yoga video can help you release the stress and tension, by leading you through the yoga practices that release bodily tension, improve posture, open up breathingm and finally lead you to the calming meditation.

If you like Class-like format, but no excess talk -just great yoga from beginning to the end -then a selection of Yoga Videos might serve you quit well.

Selecting the Right Yoga Video

Select a video that offers several step-wise practice sessions. Most good video tapes encourage you to practice Yoga with the tape all the way through the first few times, then letting you have the freedom of directly using the segment that suits you.

• A well crafted Yoga Video should lead you through from the basics to the expert-level yoga in a precise, easy-to-follow step-by-step manner. It should cover the full range of yoga postures and relaxation techniques.
• Many good videos feature three to five routines on one video: 15 minute session for people on the go, 30 session for beginners and 45 minute session for intermediate students. Some videos include two 30 minute sets that can run sequentially as an hour-long class. The sessions must be appropriate for the newcomers as well as the experienced yogis respectively.
• I have also seen some videos that are made up of a two-video set. Often the A.M. Conditioning video yoga session involves a 20-30 minute revitalizing morning workout to help wake up, energize the body and prepare for the day. The morning session is designed to offer an energizing routine for vitality, flexibility and muscle tone, while PM session usually focuses on stress reduction, unwinding and relxation.

A good Yoga Video should, therefore, consist of a program of yoga exercises that gently and effectively move you toward greater mind-body strength, flexibility and focus. It must be designed by an experienced yoga instructor and should, therefore, be a trainig program based on proven yoga principles.
