Using Yoga Videos exclusively – Good idea?
Question:
In that case, that would depend on what tapes you use. There is alot out there, given the resurgence in popularity. I can’t comment on whether any of it is useful or not.I’ve only used some of the Living Yoga videos and actually liked them, although the sessions are often much too short. I particularly like David Swenson’s Primary Series video, and I highly recommend that one. It’s almost as if he’s floating on air… – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – What about going to a class for a limited period of time and then continue with what you have learned there at home and deepen the experience through this?

Then you are even paid for it! Sat Nam – Hari Har Singh Good suggestions. I’ll probably take classes at some point when schedule permits. I was just looking for some general feel on how effective the tapes are.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Yoga videos have their place but if you are new to yoga, they are are no replacement for structured progressive classes. Placement, alignment, breathing, alternate positions cannot be covered as comprehensively in a video as they can be with an attentive instructor. If you are unable to afford a class, then arguably they are better than nothing but it is easier to learn the right way to do something than to unlearn the wrong way. Thanks. Good points. I’m not entirely new. I took a year of classes in college and slacked off for a while. Decided to get back into it.

Physical benefits mostly. It was much more than just a dynamic stretching program, which I thought when I first signed up for classes. The strength and meditative benefits surprised me.

What’s the opinion regarding just practicing using DVD’s exclusively and not going to any classes? I really can’t afford the fees at the moment.
