Yoga exercise DVD recommendations?

[untonuggan]

I've been trying to do some extra yoga at home as everyone seems to recommend it for fibromyalgia (which I have), and I do feel better when I've stretched my muscles and myofascial tissue. I've taken yoga classes in the past but they're currently out of my price range.

I've been using the yoga section in the Mayo Clinic Back Pain Solutions DVD, which is led by Rodney Yee. I've enjoyed it so far, but it does tend to focus rather exclusively on the low back...so my low back feels lovely and float-y at the end of it, but the rest of me could use some extra stretching.

I was wondering if anyone else with chronic pain/mobility issues has recommendations for some yoga home workout DVDs. I'm (currently) able to do more than just seated exercises, although I have trouble with downward facing dog or too many exercises in which weight rests on my wrists (although I can modify/skip those). I don't want to jump into any Yoga for Calorie Burn X-Treme Muscle Workouts, because I think that would be Bad. I also don't want to buy a bunch of DVDs and waste money on them (because then I might as well take the class). I'm going to be investigating what my local library has, but since they have about 100 yoga DVDs that's a lot of titles to sift through...

Any thoughts?
