Edit: A word for the wise, before delving in - yoga suffers, I'd say, from a halo of spirituality and healing promises. I believe there's truth there, but it also blunts our critical sense.
Like any physical exercise practice, yoga can lead to injury.
Here's an excellent series of resources on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/user/AyurEd/sea ... ry=wawadia
Just saying, to quote Reinhard, let's, er... exercise Systematic Moderation.
Let's look after ourselves in yoga, as in any physical exercise practice - reason, prudence and awareness.

With that out of the way...
I happen to have been through quite a few video class channels on YTube and elsewhere online.
That's easy enough to find.
Below, however, is a list and some descriptions of of my personal favorites.
I usually prefer moderate strenuousness. Mostly, I go by the precision and wealth of instructions and calm, sober teacher talk.
At times, I prefer the cognate independent online sites.

I've personally found that in finding what suits me nothing can replace actually practicing the classes. I screen initially, though, by browsing through the video.

Finally, while some of these channels solicit donations, they're all freely available, and the rest is up to you.

* https://www.doyogawithme.com/ - This is by far the site with the richest and most varied selection. I personally like Fiji McAlpine there, but there are plenty other teachers that I relate to.
The best feature on there may be the internal browse engine, alowing you to take your pick by difficulty, length, style, and teacher...

I've only checked out the top link but I really like it..especially the sun salute which I'm hoping to incorporate into my 14mins each morning. An hour is fine every now and then if I feel like it but I'm really enjoying achieving my 14mins of 'anything' each N day.

Thanks again!

Sounds good.

Sun salutations... sounds so inviting, and how the day is off to a good start.

Word of caution

Just to say that added an edit to original post.
It's just a reminder to look after ourselves in yoga, as in any physical exercise practice - reason, prudence and awareness.

Thanks Jackn. I'm bumping for my own benefit.
