"Basic Yoga Workout For Dummies"

There is NOTHING hotter than a woman that does yoga. Are you looking to learn yoga, but you can't get to or can't afford classes? While classes are the best way to learn, I believe that this video might be a good second. The title is a bit of a misnomer, in that this really isn't much of a workout. A yoga workout, or a series, is a sequence of poses strung together in a certain way, being done without pausing between. Imagine musical notes being put together to form a song. What this video does, in a very thorough way, is gently teach you a majority of the poses that other yoga videos will use. Each pose is explained thoroughly, but held for only six in-and-out breaths. Another key to correct yoga is the synchronization between breath and movement, and in this, the instructor's cueing is excellent. My advice to you would be to rent this video to learn the asanas (poses) then when you feel comfortable with each pose, grab some of the Yoga Zone beginner videos to string those poses together and make a song of your own.

When you posted about a yoga video..the youtube video "Innapropriate Yoga Guy" first came to mind.

I have several really good yoga DVDs I use. Rodney Yee's are my favorites.

Netflix doesn't have a zumba workout -- any ideas on how to request it? I assume they look at what people search for, and I search for it regularly, but this seems like a slow, passive way of getting their attention.

The new DVDs for Zumba are much better than the first ones that came out on the infomercial a few years ago. Hopefully they'll get added to Netflix down the road.
