I’m thinking a DVD would be best, but if you have another other sources, with video included, not just text, I’d go with that. Maybe a good website. I’ve looked at Amazon and just not sure which one is good for what I want. I ended up buying a Kundalini ultimate stretch DVD and it is very good for some parts of the body, such as the back, but I didn’t feel like it was a comprehensive stretching program, especially for the hamstrings and upper body.
I just started doing yoga a couple of months ago and my preference is power yoga because one of my primary goals is to increase my strength and muscle tone. However, I also have a goal of increasing my overall flexibility to the point where I can do all of the advanced poses in my power yoga routine.
I’m looking for something that isn’t another yoga routine like the Kundalini DVD I bought. Ideally, I’d like something that provided guidance on how to do the stretches properly but was not in a strict routine so I could just do the particular stretches I’m interested in doing at any given time. I think I tend to push it too far because I’m motivated to make progress and I have to admit I’m not very patient. Yeah, I know, the opposite of the yoga philosophy. I like to spend about an extra 20 minutes or so stretching after my power yoga, but I don’t know that I’m doing it the most effective way. Sometimes I also like to do some additional extra stretching in the evening.
Thanks.
