At Home Stretch: Starter DVD queue for you


SEANE CORN
My favorite teacher and someone I look to for inspiration is Seane Corn. She is 42 looks amazing and lives her yoga without ever losing the connection to the real world. l I recommend both of her DVDs highly. They are all you need.

TO BUY: Two DVDs at Gaiam.com



ANNA FORREST
I also want to offer you this tough love, core-centric "intensive." It is not cheap but wow, is it ever amazing. The best $150.00 I've spent on yoga and a gift to myself that keeps on giving. I am starting this boot camp again of sorts on Monday.

TO BUY: Intensive sessions, individual classes and free downloads available



FOR MORE ADVANCED
The Ancient Ayurveda Yoga Series with Sarah Tomlinson; ayurvedayogainstitute.com; $30
Thanks to this DVD, our advanced tester can now do peacock—a crazy-hard arm balance that looks impossible. Choose between 75 minutes of yoga or three shorter sessions, and Tomlinson, the soft spoken Brit, will put you into savasana so many times that you’ll truly learn what it takes to master real physical challenges. Twenty-one poses are specifically choreographed in three groups of seven, taking you through a relaxing then harmonizing and finally an energizing sequence.
