For now, I think I will try the free yoga websites. Gina (Mannyed) – I think I am going to look at the library next weekend (that is the first opportunity I have, can you believe it?!).

I like Denise Austin's yoga dvds. Plus a beginner's yoga class would be a good place to start, but I know you're pressed for time most days. So try a DVD. Those Downward Dogs are the best! : ) ooh sorry, how did I miss this post. I like Denise Austin’s yoga dvds.

I think my library is supposed to be linked with all of the ones in our county, or maybe even Chicagoland area! That is a lot of material! If I could just figure out how to get it to work... suze - That sounds like a good program. Then, if I ever get better (ha!) I can move forward to the next level! claire – That is what I was thinking of when I said ILL.

Easy, gentle, good for beginners, and then as you get better, you can progress to different levels... I’m a big fan of the Gaiam yoga for beginners videos – especially those featuring Rodney Yee.

I was thinking more of a network your library might be part of where different branches share materials. It's easier to get stuff that way than through ILL.

I looked up Windsor Pilates briefly and did not find much, but maybe pilates is the path I should follow... Jen512 - Aww, thanks! I will send you my address! I tried yoga once in college and got a really bad migraine. I was looking at a community class here though. I just hate committing to classes. How awful is that? We even have them in my building. Maybe that is more feasible since I am already AT work... Kyra - Thanks for the recommendation. I would like to find one that is relaxing. Because I need another relaxation method. kapgar - LOL. Somehow, blood rushing to my head DOES NOT relax me. Hmm, who wouldn't thunk it? :P Mica - I have heard about Yoga for Runners too! I looked at it briefly and the lady seemed pretty cheesy, but maybe I should give it another glance ;) Odie - LOL. I think I could have been on AFV. I was having a hard time looking at the screen while doing downward dog. I kept getting behind! diane - Hopefully I will find a good cd for beginnings that helps me use yoga to relax... and maybe even do it before bed? Hmm. Right now, if I was worn out, it would be the last thing I would think about doing! Julia - I am going to check out the website! Thanks! I wonder if we did this for a long time if it wouldn't tire us anymore. Hmm. I am really envious of the super flexible girl in the P90X video. Damn. Amy - That is the same problem I was having! And I even had my husband there to guide me as well. Hmm. That is a good idea. I know they have free yoga in Chicago, but on the weekends. Hmm. CourtneyInControl - You're so uplifting! Thanks! So, are you going to do your yoga video tonight? ;) I will see if my library has the DVD you recommended! sizzle - I think I would like a class better too. And I would be more likely to do it! tori - I think we are having the same problem. It's not the yoga, it's US ;) Jo - I will keep you updated, if I make it anywhere! Hee hee ;) nancypants - I will! Christina - I think that IS what I will do. I don't want to invest in something then not use it. Ugh. I hate wasting money. Holly - 20 minutes sounds like a better start! ;) And I have been meaning to check out our Y! Emma - Cool! Thanks for the tip! Alice - I need a yoga DVD that's title "Non-Super-Intense-Crazy Yoga for beginners"! LOL! Erin - I have been wanting to try Wii Fit. I can't believe it has been out for so long and I haven't tried it! You will have to tell me what you like better about pilates during our run this week ;) Tony - I hope so. I hope so ;) Sophia - It would be so fun to take them in college, either as a class or an extracurricular. I hope you get to! claire - I think it would be a good idea to look at pics of the poses before hand. Then when I get to class or watch a video I won't feel so lost! I have tried to do interlibrary loan from my library, but it never works. I need to try it again ;) Robin – Steven and I have been trying to figure out what the difference is between yoga and pilates (of course, without any research).

He's really mellow. He can do really advanced yoga too, so read the descriptions. I find him easy to follow though. Check out your local library, and its network (online you can often request items from other libraries and have them delivered to yours for pickup). I bet they'll have some yoga videos/dvds and that way you can try some out for free. It can also help to look at books with good photos of the poses to help you understand them more if you're not taking classes. (or even if you decide to).

Slow down and I am sure you will be relaxin in no time. I never have dome yoga, but I think you may have gone out the gate a little to quickly.
