How can I learn yoga without going to a class?

teenage lobotamy asked:


I live in a very small town that is really in the middle of nowhere. The nearest decent-sized town is about 200 miles away…I want to start doing yoga but I don’t know how to start. I want to make sure I have the right technique; I don’t want to be doing it wrong and hurt myself. Are there books I can get on basic yoga or something?

    There is a great workout dvd called “yoga for Dummies” it has a person who explains everything and it’s really a great workout. Good luck!

    Yes, you can learn yoga by yourself… and get the results that you want. Here’s a good free yoga e-course for the poses, how to do them, their physiological benefits and the breathing techniques:
