Find Your Zen with These 10 Amazing Yoga Videos

While the name Yoga for Beginners by BodyWisdom certainly appeals to those who are new to exercise, users claim that they love this video so much that they stick with it as they advance. The DVD features eight unique routines that are easy to learn and promise to improve strength and flexibility. You can also choose modified exercises if you can’t quite do the full workout.

Rodney Yee’s Power Yoga Collection is three workouts for the price of one. It includes “Yoga Burn,” “Power Yoga,” and “Yoga Conditioning for Athletes.” Users love that the workouts get straight to the point, and they are just as good for beginners as they are for athletes. They also enjoy that host Rodney Yee focuses on the physical aspects of the workout rather than the spiritual.

Yoga makes for a great low-impact exercise for pregnant women. If you’re expecting, look no further than Yoga Pregnancy: Pre and Post Natal Workouts. Hosted by Heather Seiniger, the video offers both prenatal and postnatal workouts that are easy to follow, even if you’re new to yoga. Many users report that it helped them relax and even improved their posture while they were pregnant.

Many people think of yoga as a workout for women only, but Yoga Boost: Beginner’s Yoga System for Men and Women Who Don’t Normally Do Yoga changes that perception. The DVD takes viewers through four workouts for people of all abilities, including modifications for those who “can’t touch their toes.” Each workout is aimed at goals, and users of both sexes love it.

For some, yoga workouts are just a little too Zen. However, if you like a good challenge, consider Jillian Michaels: Yoga Meltdown. Users report that it’s a great tool for weight loss, and they feel the results the next day. The DVD contains two 30-minute workouts that take regular yoga poses and add movement that will make you sweat.

If you’re not very active, new exercise programs, like yoga, can be intimidating. However, Easy Yoga: The Secret to Strength and Balance with Peggy Cappy can help even the most nonathletic person. Build strength, improve your balance, and learn how each exercise works for the body. Users say the video is easy to follow, and it offers three modifications for different ability levels.

While Strong Seniors Chair Yoga is a favorite among older users, you don’t have to be a senior to use it. Anyone with limited mobility or abilities can give it a try. Reviewers have used it for everything from surgery recovery to overcoming arthritis pain and report that results include less pain and improved range of motion. You do the moves while sitting in a chair.

Many doctors recommend yoga for people age 70 and younger because it’s low impact and easy to modify for all abilities. If you or an older loved one wants to give it a try, start with Yoga for Seniors with Jane Adams. The DVD includes three programs for various ability levels, aiming to improve strength, flexibility, and balance. There’s even a segment that includes chair yoga.

While many yoga videos are aimed at seniors, Gentle Yoga: 7 Beginning Yoga Practices for Mid-life is ideal for people who haven’t yet reached retirement age. It features seven routines, including a morning meant to help ease you into the day and a midday one to help you relax after sitting at a desk or looking at a computer all day.

Mix things up a bit with the Yoga for Beginners: Boxed Set. It comes with three DVDs, including one for stress relief, one for morning, and evening routines and one for people who aren’t flexible. All combined, the DVDs feature 40 routines that are 15 to 60 minutes each. Users enjoy the Caribbean background as well as the instructor’s guidance.
