Practicing Yoga

My day always begins with breathing exercises and mantra meditation. It is a great way to start the day, calm and with a clear mind. After my meditation, I usually practice Yin Yoga, consisting of a few floor stretches while staying in each pose for 3-4 minutes.

I want to maybe get into yoga, but can find any videos online. *ahem* Do you know where I can go for that?

As a beginner in yoga, I always recommend to take classes with a certified instructor who will keep an eye on you and help you with the poses and their alignment. I have had students who start yoga by watching videos and their alignment is incorrect and they get hurt. Once you have practiced yoga for a while with an instructor, it is safe to follow a video for your practice. You can find videos through yoga sites and even amazon.com.
