Yoga for Flexibility Short and Long Options and beginner intermediate advanced ?

Any recommendations for yoga DVDs, streaming, and/or classes for flexibility? I really need to decompress and stretch from my other workouts (mostly spin and barre). Would like beginner, intermediate, advanced options.
Thanks!

many of the Yoga Zone DVDs have 20 min segments which are good.

i have been doing the Yoga for a Strong & Healthy Back.

for long, i'd go with Yoga Zone for Conditioning and Stress Release with Alan Finger. also, Ultimate Yogi with Travis Eliot. Travis has several complete workouts on youtube of varying lengths.

Yoga Zone videos are always a great way to start.

I also like Element's Yoga for Stress Relief and Flexibility. There are 2 programs and both emphasize flexibility. Ashley Turner leads the practices and she talks about where we usually hold tension and how to release it-- each is about 35 minutes long.

Jessica Smith's Yoga Stretch for Beginner's and Beyond. There is one 30-min. relaxing/stretchy yoga segment and another 30-min. that is more dynamic/active yoga. I really like the relaxing segment. It hits all the right spots and she is outside by a pool.

Jessica Smith's Gentle Yoga & Rodney Yee's AM Yoga For Your Week both have several stretchy 20 minute segments each with a different focus. Rodney's is more new agey, Jessica's is more athletic. Rodney's is DVD only, Jessica's is DVD or download.

I second Jeannine's suggestion of Ultimate Yogi (DVD set) for intermediate to high-intermediate. Travis's 30for30 (streaming/download only) is a similar level with shorter practices.

J Brown's yoga dvd has really helped ease the tightness in my hips. It's got practices of varying lengths.
