Answers:
Try Yoga Journal's Yoga for Beginners and Yoga for Beginners 2 with Patricia Walden. They both offer clear step-by-step instructions and a booklet explaining each pose. Since Particia Walden is Iyengar-trained, she uses props such as chairs, belts and cushions for inflexible people to come into the pose with more ease. While they are both excellent DVD's, you might want to try the newer one (Yoga for Beginners 2) since it has a more beautiful production of music and scenic background.
The difference between yoga and pilates:
Yoga is a five-thousand year old practice that originated in India. Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates during the World War to help rehabilitate soldiers.
Joseph Pilates based many of his moves from yoga. But his system focuses mainly on the core (the back and abdomen) and it is a purely physical practice. Yoga on the other hand, is an orthodox philosophy that unites the mind, body and spirit. I always encourage my students to treat their classes like "a meditation in motion".
I personally like yoga better, because it benefits me not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
