 | Yoga VHS sale at Gaiam
One of the main distributors of yoga-related instructional materials is having a huge sale right now. VHS tapes are as low as $2.99 each. Click here to go straight to their Video/Audio section. You have to click through to see the sale prices. The front catalogue-type pages will say that something is as low as $15.00, but when you click through, the price might actually be just $2.99. |
I use the Rodney Yee tapes for my practice at home, but Mr. Yee doesn't tell you HOW to do the poses. He assumes you know the basics, and he walks you through a flowing series of postures. My tape by YOGA JOURNAL's Patricia Walden had a lot more actual instruction in it. That tape is called "Flexibility". The difficulty with the Patricia Walden tapes is that she's teaching beginners and yet she has them holding the poses for 90 seconds to two minutes, and that's too difficult. But for $2.99 a tape, a person can buy a series of tapes from different instructors, get the instruction, and then follow a flowing workout.
The Gaiam site has the materials divided up for beginners, intermediate, etc. If Yoga intigues you as a beginner, or if you are an old hand who could not afford the tapes, this is the time to buy.
