Lynne, yes, the bow can be a challenge (but, oh, worth

the patience). The cobra is a much easier position

and works the same parts of the body (back and

abdominal regions). The cobra is GREAT for relieving

tension, particularly in the lower back region.

That is so cool, . Watch out for Welch's tapes.

I have seen one and it is for intermediate at best

IMO. Make sure you find a tape where you can do the

majority of the postrues. Give yourself nice wins

instead of loses!!!

Try to practice a little every day to make it part of

your life. I promise you...you will not regret the

time spent.

Let me know how you do.

I don't do yoga; maybe that' s why I could never figure out the Kama

Sutra.

I don't think I get that here...but then again, I never looked.

Besides that, if I am up at 7:30 in the morning, it is Barney time -

LOL. That's fine that most tapes are fairly short (although I'd like

around 30 minutes or so) because I don't have 90 minutes at one time

to spare until after the kids are in bed for the night...I'm almost

too tired to read all these messages by that time - hehehe.

Maybe I'll get two tapes and just do them one after the other....

I've never seen them on PBS, but I'll do a search of television

listings at iwon or something and see what I can find. Even if it's

on early I can always tape it and do it later :)

Thanks for the suggestion...I'll look in to it. If nothing else I

can do two sessions when I can fit them in. I like to sweat though

(I'm no glisten gal...I go for the gusto - LOL) Will I get a good

workout from these?

No, Britt, Yee's beginner tapes have very gentle

postures. No sweating to these tapes lol! But he

gives VERY good instruction and his beginner tapes are

a good intro to Iyengar Yoga. He is highly regarded

in the yoga community.

That is GREAT, TruDee. You must have such good

I bought a Yoga tape supposedly ok for beginners, with Am and PM

exercises. I'd tell you how it is, but considering I haven't so much

as removed the cellophane...

For all you folks out there thinking about yoga - I would highly recommend a

class. I went to one while I was pregnant - I know it's a funny image isn't

it - especially if you remember I was a fat lady to start with then I was

carrying twins! I looked ridiculous I'm sure - but that is beside the

point. I loved the class! It felt wonderful. But I have since tried some

tapes - I think its the same AM/PM one that has been mentioned before, and I

just don't get much out of it - I'm either struggling to get into the right

position, or I'm frustrated that I can't get there - with a live instructor

(s)he can help you out and give you modified poses if your fat belly (like

mine) just won't let you get to where you are supposed to be. If done right

yoga is supposed to be a tranquil and uplifting exercise, and by doing the

tapes alone at home they became frustrating and annoying instead.

Just my two cents :)
