Sara is also very detailed with her explanation and this is a little more accessible than her Crunch Candlelight Yoga, though that setting is so nice for an evening practice! The Weight Watchers workout has something different with using block between legs and extending reach in triangle pose, etc. If you have blocks and straps, the DVD can be purchased on Ebay on it's own. Here's a short clip of this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtVddBReA24

I like J Brown's yoga dvd quite a lot.
He's got some stuff on Youtube, and does streaming. Here's the YT page: https://www.youtube.com/c/Jbrownyogavideo/videos In particular for beginners, I'd recommend the Seven Minute Practice with extra instruction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6Tdm_0PAGc I've used that one many times, and it's especially nice as a reintroduction to a practice if you've been away for a while. And the talk he gives as an introduction to yoga is good. Since following his advice I was able to establish a practice that felt as though it were my own, a few moves with forward bends, back bends, side bends, a bit of a twist. On the floor, seated, standing. Simple, and fairly quick, but not something I'd have thought up without his encouragement.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sho6NimebYw The full practice is too hard on my shoulders, but I do love the shorter ones, they fit in my schedule quite nicely.

Gams, I think it depends a bit on what type of yoga you want to do. Do you want your yoga to be a workout? That would mean more athletic, flow, or even power yoga. Do you want yoga more to stretch and relax? I think a lot of the suggestions already been made fall more into that category.

The Yoga Zones are older but offer a nice variety of different styles. I thought 3 Week Yoga Retreat was good, but what I didn't like about it for those brand new to yoga is that they don't use much in the way of props, so newbies who aren't as thin/flexible/able-bodied as the instructors could get discouraged.

Pam, you make some good points. I agree 100% with what you said about AM Yoga for Your Week - it's perfect for those newish to yoga, but it helps to have just a bit of experience before starting with this one.
For older Gaiam videos to start with, I'd recommend either Rodney's Yoga Conditioning for Athletes (don't let the "athletes" part scare you away) or Suzanne Deason's Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss. The good thing about both is that they show 3 different variations for each pose.
