HD Yoga (4-disc set)

Excellent value, you will not be disappointed.
I bought this on a bit of a whim and was very impressed. I have bought a few yoga dvds that, after one play, I know I will never play again...this is not one of those.

There are four dvds in this set, making it a good value for the money, as the cost is less than I have paid in the past for a thirty minute dvd. There are not a lot of 'extras' with these dvds, like matrix-style programming, just four straight ahead yoga sessions.

The set is attractive enough (indoors) and the presenters all appear to be "real" people, meaning that they all appear to be regular people who do a lot of yoga, as opposed to hired fitness models who seem awkward in the yoga poses. As a guy (with a bad back, which is what brought me to yoga) these are dvds that I can easily have on if a buddy drops by without feeling awkward about a 'girlie'-type of yoga dvd playing. There is also no guy, like Rodney Yee, wearing WAY too tight shorts (you're going to shear it off there) or Bryan Kest...

I've never done Yoga, and wasn't sure what to expect. This has 3 or 4 disks and each class has 3 people showing you the beginner, intermediate, and hard positions. I don't think I could do a whole session without cheating a little, but I feel so much better doing this and getting stronger every time. People don't realize the importance of flexibility and how it benefits you in so many ways. I don't have anything to compare this with, since it's my first time doing Yoga, but it was worth it if your a beginner. I forgot to mention, that I threw my back out a while ago, and while picking up my work bag at a wrong angle I almost threw it out again. So I knew I needed to be more active and have more flexibility. I've only done the first two disk, and my back feels 100% better. I'm not worried about throwing it out again, since I'm strengthing my lower back, and whole body for that matter. If you don't work out in the gym much, I def believe now that stretching/yoga should be done by...
