My beginner problems with video courses of yoga Hello everyone.
Recently got interested into yoga. Bought a mat, but here is the problem i am facing.
I tried "Adriene's 30 day yoga challenge" and "3 week yoga retreat" - both of them have the same issue. They do everything VERY FAST. Adriene is better, she take it slower, but doesn't describe poses that she does.
Due to my room, my yoga matte is paralell to the TV, so i have to turn my neck around all the time and see which pose did she move to now. + she uses a lot of words that i am not familiar with.
3 week yoga retreat - they are just doing it too fast, like they think you know what will be the next yoga pose and while you understand you need to switch, you are rushing into it, which becomes more of a cardio than yoga.
Maybe it's my begginner issues. But anyone faced this before?
Can you recommend me a best video lessons for beginners?
Any advice for me?
Thanks

It's great that you are finding your way to yoga. Are you aware of [yogaglo.com](https://yogaglo.com) or yogavibes.com? They offer streaming yoga that you can filter by beginner and by amount of time you have as well as other metrics. Since they have many teachers, you can choose those that you like. Of course I'd first recommend beginners series in a yoga studio where there is more discussion and you can ask questions. As a yoga teacher, I can tell you very fast is neither good nor necessary. You should be able to feel every inch of movement - focusing on every inch of movement of the hands/arms or legs in a transition will build strength and boost concentration. Enjoy!
Looking for recommendation Let me say first that I'm a believer of "if you do something, do it the best possible way out there", but unfortunately I don't have the option to go to a decent yoga instructor, simply due to my location.
However, I'd like to start doing yoga to improve muscle relaxation and body-mind connection (as they are extremely important in explosive movements such as sprinting or jumping). The added flexibility and other perks would be just a bonus, the said reasons are my goals.
**What type of yoga would you recommend for these goals?** Also, as I said, going to an instructor is not an option, so could you recommend a video, book, dvd, subscription service or something for it?

Happily there's plenty of good yoga on the internet. I work for YogaVibes.com so I'm most familiar with our library. Grab a free trial and try Sarah Faircloth's beginner series. We've got hundreds of beginner videos, but I think her style will be particularly good for what you're trying to do. You can also mix it up with some Yin classes as another poster recommended. I hope you enjoy your practice!
Does anyone know of any good links for yoga videos with foot/ankle injuries? The ones I have I've become bored of, or are a little too basic. I am looking for intermediate level. Thank you!
