I’m getting back into my daily yoga practice and the one I have from Rodney Yee ( Fat burning or somethinglike that) Is very good, but at 1.40 , is a bit long.

I am open to all forms of yoga, as I am probably an advance beginner-intermediate, but in flobby condition.  
Does anyone know of a really good review site for yoga dvd’s?

If you do at home yoga, which one(s) do you like or not like.

Suzanne Deason has a fairly short yoga DVD for weight loss maintenance that I use for a lighter work out. I also like the Crunch yoga/Pilates workout (Ellen Barrett leads that one).

There’s another Crunch one that has two yoga work outs on it; one is just yoga and the other is somewhat power yoga (although not as intense as the Rodney Yee videos).

As for reviews, I usually get mine from Amazon and read the reviews there. I have a good sense of what I want so I can avoid ones that stray too far down the Eastern mysticism path (for example) as well as the ones I know will end up not doing a thing for me.

I love taking classes but they are so expensive–having the DVDs at home keeps me going and staying fit and consistent.

I’m the same way about classes.

The price is about $12 per class. Well, I can buy a dvd for around that price and have my husband check my posture.  
I found [collage video](http://www.collagevideo.com/cart/default.aspx?PriorityCode=RL29) where they have reviews (by pros and real people.) and bits of the dvd available for viewing.

Rodney Yee is amazing. There is a series of videos (I have them on VHS, but am sure they’re available on DVD) by _LivingYoga_ that run 20 minutes. Rodney Yee does the “a.m. yoga” and it is amazing – we also have the “p.m. yoga” and a couple others. I like them because they’re all only 20 minutes.
