Good Stretch DVD's or Yoga Stretch DVD's?

Hi - I was looking for some good stretching DVD's or yoga stretches (gentle) that are around 1/2 hour long in my collection and the only things I could come up with are Cathe's Stretch DVD, Amy Bento's, Yoga in the Garden of Serenity and the 20" stretch on Kelly Coffey's one DVD.

Does anyone else have some fave's that I am missing? Oh, and there is always the 20" stretch from the Slim Series DVD. It seems like I should have more with the amount of DVDs I have! Oh, and if you can think of good recovery workouts that are in a set that you have.

Not a DVD, but check out DoYogaWithMe website. They have lots of free yoga practices. You can sort by level and length.

David Swenson's Just Relax (gentle stretching--not yoga--on Maui, with a terrific guided relaxation. One of my favorite DVDs.)

J. Brown's Yoga DVD (several routines from 7 to 75 minutes long, nothing difficult. His mantra is "gentle is the new advanced". Very nice relaxation with guitar music. I do the 30 minute routine frequently. Simply a wonderful DVD.)

Jane Fonda AM/PM Yoga (several routines to choose from; you can create your own routine with the matrix feature.)

Gentle Yoga with Jane Adams (several routines to choose from)

There are many Jessica Smith stretching routines on YouTube; most are 20-30 minutes.

Couldn't agree more! I did this one quite a lot this summer and found that over time I was able to sit cross legged on the floor much more comfortably.

Hi!

My favourite stretch is Essentrics Ultimate Stretch Muscle Relaxation. It works out kinks and you sleep like a baby. The dvd has 2 episode s each is 30 minutes. The dvd also includes 4 short 15 minutes episodes that focus on specific body parts. Some I have earmarked after raking leaves or other activities.

Thanks.....I guess I should have also specifically asked for YouTube videos but I always forget about them. Funds are tight so those are good options.

Esssentrics has several clips on You Tube.

Your local library may have dvds also.

Good luck!!!
