I really like Yoga: Gentle Practice with Zyrka Landwijt. It has 6 practices each with their own difficulty level and length. Here's the link to a clip of the DVD.
Also, if you like streaming, I recently joined myyogaworks.com because someone on here mentioned a great groupon price($65.00 for 1 year). They have a ton of level 1 Beginner yoga classes, and the teachers seem very knowledgeable. The website is easy to navigate too. Here's a link to the groupon in case you want to check it out. |

the namaste yoga tv series is a great system, and easy to follow, easy to commit to-just under 30 minutes.
not s system but I use these so often,easy, easy to gain strength and flexiblity, not stressful!! easy to find, inexpensive. Karen voight-Yoga Power- has two segments Yoga for Strength, Yoga for stretch (love!) Madeline Lewis AM PM stretch- two segments, AM is a great 30 minute total body wake up stretch , PM is deeper Yoga holds and surprisingly-Anna Benson Just Right Flex Posture, which was my introduction to yoga poses-not really"YOGA" - a nice hybrid blend, great stretches and finally got down dog! Anna leads it. nice to have: Mimi Solaire Deep stretch and Insight Yoga Heaven with SArah Powers, it is like heaven. deep holds, long mellow stretches, i love them both |

Lorie~From one who was really inflexible (49 years old) & has improved but needs almost daily stretching/yoga to keep my body maintain and improve my flexibility, what ever you choose from these suggestions you need to be determined to stick to it & do it often. It took me a long time to get to my present state ( 1 1/2 years) & I still have lots to improve on but it is so worth your goal in doing this. So stay determined and you will see benefits not just in your golfing but every area in your life !

Ann, I have flexibility, age, and joint issues, and I've given up on standard hatha yoga workouts. Prenatal hatha yoga has proved a much better fit, despite the fact that I've never been pregnant and am now postmenopausal. (My favorite is Shiva Rea's Prenatal Yoga.) The prenatal workouts tend to suggest helpful modifications and props.
I've found yoga very tonic, but for flexibility improvement, I've actually had better results from athletic stretch or hybrid workouts, such as Debbie Siebers' Cool It Off and Cool It Off Express and Tamilee Webb's Total Stretch for Beginners (which has three 10-minute stretch routines--perfect for add-ons--as well as a 30-minute routine). |
