Yoga practice in the western world is perceived as a form of escape from the too material and burdening money-oriented life we live. Thus, a yoga class can very well become an oasis of peace and tranquility, a refuge from the crazy rhythm of the day. People who do not have the time or the possibility to join a yoga group and attend it regularly, have other options to discover the principles of yoga, such as through a yoga DVD course. The DVDs available on the market fall into a wide range of categories addressing the different needs of people: there is yoga for beginners, yoga for traveling, yoga for pregnancy, yoga for good health, complete yoga workout, yoga for disease curing and many others.
from:There are good bits and bad bits about a yoga DVD; to set things clear from the very beginning, watching a video recording is not the same thing as getting one-to-one instructions. In direct sessions the instructor can show you what you do wrong in a posture and you can ask questions to understand one aspect or another, whereas a DVD mainly lacks the possibility for direct interaction and the benefit resulting from it. Probably this is the reason why the level of a yoga DVD is usually a very basic one, teaching users relaxation, breathing techniques and all sorts of meditations.
It is not uncommon to hear about one student or another who got injured while practicing some posture with a yoga DVD. This is also the reason why experts tend to avoid recommending this kind of materials because of the risks careless practice poses to one's health. There is one category of yoga practitioners who really benefit from the use of a yoga DVD, and these are trainers, teachers and yoga interns. They have already reached a certain knowledge level and have a different way of grasping the instructions about some new yoga postures.
Last but not least, some trainers choose to use a yoga DVD as an education material for parts of their sessions, but the applications as such depend on the structure of the course and the way the instructor sees fit. Caution and a safe attitude towards the use of yoga DVDs is advisable particularly for people who have less than six months of yoga practice. Even between six months and a year, you may still have difficulties to put one technique or another into practice; therefore do not push your limits unwisely, and remember that yoga is about something else.
