Can anyone recommend a good beginners Yoga DVD for a friend of mine. I
personally found Shiva Rea's Yoga Shakti (link below) an excellent DVD, but
I do not believe it is really meant for absolute beginners.

My friend is 44 and works in the building trade so his job is physically
demanding. He wants to get into Yoga as he has *mild* back problems hat he
want to address before they get worse. He is keen to take up Yoga after
seeing how it miraculously *cured* me of a long standing acute back problem.

Any advice much appreciated.

Paul

This is an *excellent* DVD that will be useful for beginners and
advanced users. I own about a dozen yoga DVDs and this is by far my
favorite.

Introduction to Universal Yoga

Andrey Lappa is one of the most influential yoga masters of the
post-Soviet countries. After many years of exploration into the most
esoteric and challenging practices of yoga, Andrey developed the
incomparably powerful and effective Universal Yoga, a comprehensive
approach to spiritual evolution. Andrey has created a 2-hour asana
sequence specifically for this project, and after practicing with him
you'll understand why the Universal Yoga system is one of the most
comprehensive and balanced approaches to yoga ever conceived. In
addition to the special asana practice, Andrey will guide you through
pranayamas, rasas and meditation. The other half of this unique DVD is
a compilation of lecture highlights taken from Andrey's 10-day Level 1
Teacher Training program. Some of the lecture topics include: 
Universal Yoga as an all-encompassing system of yoga practices;  The
universal scheme of Asanas and Vinyasas;  The universal scheme of
Pranayamas;  Use of Bandhas, Mudras and Drishtis to improve
concentration and circulation of energy;  Methods of controlling and
purifying Maya Koshas, or shells of human experience;  Yamas and
Niyamas: universal codes of conduct and self-purification through
discipline;  The activation and control of Kundalini energy; 
Development and purposeful, appropriate use of Siddhis, or spiritual
abilities;  Power of the Spirit
