Any other farmgirls out there do yoga? I started a few years ago, and I love it! It tones my muscles, helps me stretch and get more flexible, and is so relaxing.
My only problem is that I go to class once a week, but I would like to do more yoga at home also.
Does anyone know of any good dvds for an at-home practice that they would recommend?
Thanks!

I love yoga!! I've slipped up since I had DS but I'm slowly getting myself back into it. Gaiam makes some wonderful videos and you can get them at target. If you have netflix, I think they also have some yoga videos you can try out.

I've got an older one from Gaiam, "Yoga for weight loss". It takes about 40 minutes. We try to use it a couple of times a week. I'm not sure if its still available though.
When I was going through chemo I got another Gaiam one from a friend, I believe it was called "AM Yoga". It was about 15 minutes and I used it daily. It was a part of set with PM, but once a day was all I could handle/needed.

I would love to start yoga. I think I will look for a DVD also that I can do at home. It would be too embarrassing to go to a class right now. I'd like to be a little bit good at it first.

I have a Wii Fit Plus with the balance board. It has a number of yoga moves (plus strength training, balance, and more). I LOVE it!
I realize it's kind of pricey if you don't already ahve a Wii system but if you do, it's GREAT!

Kristin,
Doing yoga at home is a good idea even when you start taking a class. But don't worry too much about others in class.
A good instructor will remind everyone to modify as they need to do so, suggesting modifications as they go. And most people are far too concerned about themselves too much to pay attention to anyone but the instructor and themselves.

One of the things I've noticed is that yoga DVD's can be LONG! With two kids, an hour or even 45 minutes is sometimes too long. If you'd like some shorter workouts (therefore easier to start out with), here are my suggestions:
Prevention's Better Belly Yoga (3 ten-minute routines you can do separately or together)
YogaZone Fat Burning Yoga (2 twenty-minute routines)
YogaSculpt (20-25 minutes of pilates or yoga, your choice)
Warrior Yoga (30 minute or 60 minute option if you have time)
Good luck!
