My husband gave me the Yoga For Cyclists Roadie edition for Christmas and I've done it almost every day since then - I love it! I have a very wimpy upper body, and some upper back problems. I hurt my back in October carrying something heavy in an awkward position and hadn't been able to get it right again since then. After a few days of doing the shorted Pre-Ride Warmup routine on that DVD (it was the only one I could come close to doing), I was almost completely better.
The great thing about the routines on that DVD is how they help me stretch out muscles in my back that I didn't know could be stretched. I'm sure it's also great for my posture. I've done some yoga in the past, years ago, so I was already familiar with some of the poses. I have an appointment with my PT to go over some of them with him, and also have a recommended yoga instructor who will give me a couple of private lessons at my house to make sure I'm doing things right. But I like having the DVD because I can do it whenever I want and pick the routines or poses I want to do, etc., as opposed to taking a class (plus it's cheaper!). I know there are some poses I shouldn't do, so I can avoid them, too.
