katief89 Jun 2011 5:46pm, 18 Jun 2011 66 posts	0 katief89 Right, having to take some time off due to over-use injury, and have been told swimming, cross-trainer and to do lots of stretching and some yoga. I'm normally a little scathing of yoga/pilates however as this is not the first time I've been told by a physio/gp to do it, I feel I should actually take their advice! Can anyone recommend any yoga dvds? I will get round to actually going to proper classes (as I know they're probably better for correcting posture etc) once I move home from uni/join the gym at home again, but that isn't going to happen fully over the next few weeks so need some way of getting it in!

Jenelopy Jun 2011 5:46am, 19 Jun 2011 20 posts	0 Jenelopy I like www.yogatoday.com - especially the classes by Adi (there is a "Yoga for runners" one as well as some other sporty classes). There is a free class each week, but sadly you now have to pay to download classes (though it isn't too much, about US$3 I think). The classes taught by Neesa can be a bit weird (but maybe thats just me!)
