Video - Yoga Zone Workout - Weight Loss for Beginners

Here is a great yoga workout from the Yoga Zone collection. This one is a beginners yoga workout, focusing on the weight loss benefits of yoga. It is designed for beginners who might not be that flexible yet, but if you are more flexible, feel free to stretch a bit more than the video demonstrates, as long as it is safe and comfortable. It's only about 20 minutes long, so clear a space, and remember you can always maximize the video to full-screen by clicking on the four-cornered square at the bottom of the video.

Beginners Yoga Free Video Series

If you've been following along throughout the beginners yoga workout series we've posted over the past few weeks, we thought you might find it handy to have links to the whole series all in one place. However, keep in mind you can always just do one segment for a couple of good yoga exercises, if you don't have time for the whole set - it is perfectly okay to just do one or two of the videos at a time.

Video - Basic Yoga Workout for Beginners - Parts 5 & 6

Here are the final two poses in the beginners yoga series (we also included Part 6, which is just the final ending and credits, but Part 5 cuts off rather abruptly).

We hope you  have enjoyed this free yoga video series!  As she mentions at the end, even just practicing one or two poses per day can be beneficial, and that's why this was broken up into so many pieces - so if you only have time for a few poses, you can just do a couple of them at a time. However, if you would like the whole series in order, check back next weekend, when we will post links to the entire series, so you can go through the whole thing in order if you like.

Namaste!

Video - Basic Yoga Workout for Beginners - Part 4

Here is the next video in our beginners yoga series (notice we don't use the word "dummies," - this yoga set is definitely for real - it's just very well explained and demonstrated in a thorough way. Plus, you're not a dummy if you haven't gotten around to trying yoga yet - you just haven't yet discovered what you're missing!)

Today's section finishes up Downward Dog, and moves through some great back stretches and exercises such as Cobra pose, Child's Pose, and the Seated Spine Twist. These exercises relieve stress and strain in the back, strengthen your back muscles, and improve posture. Try these, and you may want to watch the demonstration once through first, as she does a lot of great explanation and demo of proper breathing, positioning, and technique.  Enjoy!

Once you've done beginner yoga for a while, or even intermediate, such as Jillian Michaels' Yoga Meltdown, you may wish to get into something a little more challenging. Power Yoga is a more intense yoga workout focusing on movement and moving poses, burning calories while strengthening and stretching at the same time, and is often done in a heated environment.

This video will give you a little taste of what Power Yoga is like, but for more, you can always find DVDs pretty cheaply (see below for the one mentioned in the video).
