Please recommend a good beginner's yoga or pilates dvd?

I am interested in buying yoga and or pilates dvd's that you find easy to follow and gives the most benefits. I am really trying to improve my flexibility as I am on my weight loss journey. I bought a couple from target and the yoga one I bought was just wasted money cause I could barely follow it, they used a brick or something, and the pilates one was better but still now what I was looking for.

I want something that really doesn't need a brick...I have the bands and the balls but thats about it.

Thank you so much!!!!

I don't know any specific ones...but if you have NETFLIX you can rent them...that way if you don't like it you can send it back w/o wasting $$$

I got the ana caban one for the beginners pilates and it was kinda short but not too bad. the yoga by the same company was not good at all.

Yeah its 8.99 a month and on top of the yoga/piltes videos they also have kickboxing, dance, and regular movies so its worth it. Sometimes they mail like a friends and family trial thing....where you can get like a free month, but I don't have any right now.

I never thought to use Netflix for that...I'm definitely going to check this out myself now, thanks!

dont' know which one you have, but jillian is 99% of my collection. still love rodney yee's stuff. sorry.

i find them to be good for supplements but nothing compares to pilates/yoga in a studio. also just be careful you don't hurt yourself because i've seen lots of injuries from at-home practice. make sure you have at least one mirror to watch your form.
