margaux, when I was first learning, I used Patricia Walden's Yoga for Beginners. It's not a flowing practice; it specifically teaches postures and alignment. For me, it was the perfect place to start, but others have complained that it's "dry," "boring," or even too difficult (I never understood this last one since she shows modifications throughout). It is older, though; it was originally on VHS.
I'll have to think more if you are looking for something more modern, but you might try a tag search.

Lately I've been using this one a good bit, but I do find that some of the poses aren't all that easy. (Quarter Dog pose? Had never heard of it til she was leading me into it; wouldn't have attempted it if I'd realized where it was leading, my belly didn't like it much, but then I do have issues there.)
http://www.amazon.com/Yoga-for-Stres.../dp/B000ICLRKW I mention it because it seems as though it's beginner-ish, but parts of it really aren't. (I still feel resentful about those yoga dvds I bought years ago before I learned to seek out video clips online.) This Jane Adams one looks intriguing, though: http://www.amazon.com/Gentle-Yoga-Be.../dp/B00PRABXFO

My all-time favorite yoga dvd is Erich Schiffmann's Backyard Beginner. It is an good instructional, and just makes my body feel so good everytime I do it. He is also the instructor on an older DVD, Ali MacGraw Yoga Mind, and Body, with higher production values that many people enjoy.
I really like Barbara Benagh's YfSR linked above too. |

That's a great one! I let my friend borrow a few yoga DVDs and that was her favorite hands down! It looks like Udaya has re-released it (you couldn't find the original one there for a while). I even love it for a nice, relaxing practice. Good stretches and I get sore from it, too.
