can anyone link me to good 30ish minute sessions on youtube or such?

I only get to class once every two weeks and could do with a daily wake up routine to go through before work.

Raja is best, but there's nothing physical about it.

It's primary, really.

i'm about as spiritual as a slice of meatloaf.
I just like the stretch & muscle use in it.

If you can't master Raja Yoga, the others are fairly worthless.

It would be like training horses to run in a chariot race when there's nobody in the chariot.

it's a workout. jogging is still jogging whether you send imaginary energy through your core or not.

either you can link me to a video or you can't.

Okay, we'll start there. Think of your brain as a muscle.

This is the first muscle you need to learn to control.

It controls all the other ones. But if you can't control it, then you're fucked up right out of the gate.

why don't we start with your assumption that, because I think a lot of the spiritual stuff is horseshit and I don't buy into the fairies & tofu, I cannot focus my mind and I lack awareness of my body.

you're being a pompous prat. stop it.

And working out is working out blah blah blah and whatever.

You said "yoga," not me.

That involves a combination of mind and body.

Are you even interested?

Or do you just want to work out? What's the deal?

check out Kurt Johnsen, American power yoga. I do his all the time, find one that you like.

Okay. I'm being a prat with no links, and I apologize.

I was out of line.

Sorry to have sidetracked your thread.

It is my hope that others will be more helpful than I've been.

And sorry to have spoiled your... afternoon is it, there?

Various other apologies... stopping now.

i asked for a link to decent yoga routines on youtube, not a lesson on using my imagination.

just google it

i'm both shocked and saddened by the fact that no one has made a creepy yoga pants related post in this thread yet.

 

[Byron In Exile]

Why did I even think I could be helpful?

That's really sad...

7 minutes in, i like the look of the workout but the music & bullshit are hard to listen to. i might try that one though.

Tara Stiles is a skinny model type, but she is positive and generally unpretentious in her routines.

E.g. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4NdgB2n6dLE

that's the hijack i was expecting.
the lack of such says sad things about the state of lit *cries*

too much crap to wade through. seriously, there are buckets of the stuff.
but i'm guessing a few people here already know a good one.

the right voice matters.

my yoga teacher has a lovely, soft, smooth, ultra English voice. it makes it a lot easier to relax & concentrate when you're not inwardly screaming 'SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!!!!'

I like Steve Ross but I couldn't find any YouTube links. He has music in the back ground, nice higher energy workout for yoga and uses classic poses. I get bored during regular yoga workouts, but I always enjoyed his. He use to have a yoga TV show.

Yep, that's him. The link wouldn't play on my phone, probably why it didn't show up on my search.

 

[parodyluvr75]

I could only find parts of workouts but no whole workout.
