Last year after I was diagnosed with my stress fracture on my left tibia I had to hop around with a removable cast. At the same time I followed physiotherapy due to the tightness on my left leg. I had stretch on a staircase my calfs at least 5 times a day for several minutes.

This made me realize that being flexible is crucial to any type of endurance training and will prevent future injuries so I started Yoga. Initially I was very apprehensive to this type of exercise. I'm not really a person who goes and run out of the house and go and do exercise classes. I want to choose my own schedule, this could be at night time when it fits in with family time. So I choose to follow yoga video's, I watched a few online samples but most of them explained the postures but were either too advanced or rushed the posture in a 2 minute video. This wasn't what I was searching for and I would only learn the postures incorrectly. 

I came across the video's from Chaz Rough from YogaMazing and till to date I'm still following his video's. The reason that I'm sticking with him so far is that the pace of the class is just right, not too fast and not too slow, around 25 minutes per video. I can see the benefit of the exercises and the postures are well explained. 

Chaz has many video's based around a subject but for my triathlon training I have purchased 2 video's but the majority of them can be downloaded for free from iTunes. 

The subjects I like most are Yoga for flexibility, Yoga for strength, Yoga for Runners, Yoga for the legs (absolutely love this one), Yoga for knees and Yoga for balance. 

This link should take you directly to iTunes and to the YogaMazing lifestyle Video podcast directory. Shame that iTunes does not keep all of them for downloading.
