yoga shakti for sure and also aquired in a trade was rainbeau mars' pure power from her sacred yoga collection. both are done on beaches with waves crashing in the background. sound very relaxing and refreshing. i see rodney yee has some he does on the beaches too but i haven't tried them just previewed the clips.

I like Yoga Shakti and Mars' Sacred Yoga series and I'd add Tilak Pyle's Altar of the Heart (scenic landscape, not sunny beaches).

Rodney Yee's Yoga for Energy from Yoga for Strength & Energy has a lovely beach setting. And his Total Body Power Yoga has a very nicely photographed, spectacular Hawaiin mountain setting. The other outdoor Yees (and Deasons) I can think of have surprisingly dreary-to-me Hawaii locations that remind me of the verge of the green on a golf course. Yee's Yoga for Meditation has an amazing Yellowstone backdrop though.

Oh yea, how could I forget -- a classic in every way. (I've even been to White Sands and did a few yoga poses while I was at it)

I agree that Altar of the Heart and Ali McGraw's are pretty awesome...speaking of awesome, Sharon, what a great shot!

Rodney Yee's Power Yoga Stamina has gorgeous beach scenery. That is one of the reasons I love it. I pretend I am there . His A.M. Yoga, and Yoga Shakti also have lovely scenery.

Erich Schiffman's Backyard Beginners is outdoors, and even though it's not the production quality of Gaiam, it has a certain appeal in its natural simplicity. Plus, it's a great practice.

Some of my favorites:
swenson's short forms
Eoin's Finn's power yoga and power yoga for happiness
Altar of the Heart
MTV power yoga
Erich Schiffmann/Ali McGraw: Yoga Mind & Body
Erich's Backyard
Yoga Shakti

Rodney's yoga and some other Gaiam's yogas have the most beautiful scenery, but I don't click much with their styles of teaching.
