2. Best Hybrid Workout – Yogalosophy
3. Best Power Yoga – The Ultimate Yogi
4. Best East Coast – Transform Yourself with Jivamukti Yoga
5. Best West Coast – Shiva Rea – Flow Yoga for Beginners
Shiva Rea’s beautiful dancey style seems right at home on the beach as this California girl leads a gentle introduction to flow yoga. If you like her style, Rea has numerous other DVDs for you to explore.
6. Best Old School – Ali MacGraw’s Yoga Mind and Body
Judging from our user submitted recommendations, Ali MacGraw’s Yoga Mind and Body, with instruction from Erich Shiffmann is a popular option. It’ll take you right back to the mid-nineties, and is even available on VHS. Many folks fondly remember this video as their first introduction to yoga.
7. Best Rodney Yee – Power Yoga Strength and Flexibility
How can we pick just one from Rodney Yee’s voluminous body of work? There really is something for everyone in Yee’s canon, but I’m going to go with Power Yoga Strength and Flexibility, since it’s a good introduction to his teaching style. If you are a real Yee fan, you can get access with all his videos with a subscription to Gaiam TV.
8. Best Ashtanga
This is a contentious issue, since Ashtanga students tend to be very loyal to their individual teachers. In fact, most agree that you should only learn Ashtanga with a qualified teacher. If you already know the basics and are looking for a video to lead you in the Primary series at home, respected teachers David Swenson and Richard Freeman each offer DVDs in this vein.
9. Best Online – YogaGlo
This is a crowded marketplace that is changing all the time, but I have to go with YogaGlo.com for there excellent roster of teachers, variety of styles, and constant updates. I like the feeling of being in a real yoga class and the breadth of choices this website offers. YogaGlo Review
