 Additional Thoughts on Choosing the best yoga dvds

Although sales rankings, online reviews, and pretty pictures on the cases reveal valuable information about yoga DVD’s the final factor in choosing the best for your self is your intuition.  In order to find the best yoga DVD, you must find the one that satisfies your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.  The best yoga DVD strengthen and stretches your muscles, calms and centers you, and puts you in harmony with your world and your universe.  If your current yoga DVD does not go three-for-three against these criteria, you have not found the best.

The best yoga DVD motivates you to keep practicing.

You respect, admire, and like your instructor.  S/he keeps practices interesting, engaging, and fun; never discount or dismiss the importance of “the fun factor,” because if you are not having fun, you quickly will give-up practicing.  It often contain between seven and ten practices (though some more), all of which match your level of skill and endurance, yet you always feel challenged as you progress through the asanas.  The series seems to grow in rhythm and harmony with your increasing proficiency.  The video has good production values as well as good content: the camera work helps you understand instruction and learn difficult poses.  If the video includes other people practicing along with the instructor, you easily can find a few people with whom you identify.  The instructor’s voice and demeanor encourage you to keep practicing; and the setting and music make you feel comfortable.  Most of all, the best yoga DVDs leaves you feeling both satisfied and eager for tomorrow’s practice.  You always should complete a practice feeling just a little bit hungry for more.

It builds your fitness and complements your other conditioning.  Yoga builds your strength, flexibility, balance, and stamina, but fitness experts grudgingly concede that certain slower more meditative styles do not number among the world’s most powerful and efficient fat-burners.  Some DVDs have been tailored so the exercises burn the most calories for weight loss.  There is a right DVD for every one.

The best yoga DVD quickens your spirit.  It must balance physical fitness with your psychological, emotional, and spiritual growth.  No high-quality yoga DVD ever would neglect yoga’s profound philosophy, because your strength emanates from the center and the depths of your being.  Of course, physical strength helps you feel empowered to face your life’s challenges; but the most effective yoga practice helps you become more patient, more tolerant, more forgiving, and generally more willing to accept people and circumstances as they are, acknowledging that each and all have a place in the world’s constantly unfolding scheme.  The most effective yoga practice also helps you feel calm, composed, at peace, and resolved.  A truly productive yoga practice will help you reconcile contradictions, examine people and problems from different vantages, and restore all your life’s conflicting elements to their proper proportions and priorities.

The best yoga DVD helps you look and perform your best.  But far more importantly, it is the one that always makes you feel absolutely wonderful.
