About the video question... I got a Power Yoga For Every Body dvd last year and haven't really used it. It requires props (chairs, blocks, straps) that are supposed to help maintain the poses. Meh. I prefer the 'basic' model of yoga, I guess. Props are annoying to deal with, in my opinion, when I want to focus on the poses.
I don't know about any other videos. Just that the one I have isn't the best.

In reply to: In reply to: I find that the most unfortunate part about joining a yoga program is that it's very expensive. . . .Suggestions? Keep looking/asking around - in Scotland a church down the road from our dorm offered a free yoga class once a week - and the instructor was great! ....Even books can be helpful, but good instruction is best.
I agree that personal instruction is the best ~ a good instructor can help ease you into proper alignment with your poses with the touch of his (or her) hand (and should be doing this). This greatly assists ALL levels to feel what the correct position is (key to optimal benefit) -- something you cannot see for yourself (unless you were outside of your body... :shock: ).
Try checking out local YMCA's or YWCA's. which often times have lower cost classes. But like in any classroom - remember - there are good instructors AND bad ones. I recommend taking 1st classes in a yoga studio with instructors that have years of experience. That way - later, you'll know the difference... :)

It's good to hear everyone's having alot of success with yoga, esp the benefits it gives climbing.
I dislocated my shoulder two years ago and still have some residual pain/limitation on range of motion. Does anyone have experience on yoga helping with this? If so, what type?

There is another video around called "Yoga for Athletes" and is really good. They have tailored routines for many sports including climbing or you can focus on specific areas such as balance or legs or bends etc..
