Question by matahari: What is a good yoga video for beginners to use?
I have recently become interested quite interested in yoga. Iv been doing a yoga Pilate’s combination video for a while, but im not flexible enough to do it properly. I was wondering if anybody new any good yoga videos for increasing flexibility. Im pretty skinny so Im not really looking for a video that is trying to burn fat or increase weight loss. Thanks very much if you have any ideas.
Best answer:
Answer by Dances with Buddha
I would recommend Shiva Rea’s “Yoga Shakti.”
amazon.com/Yoga-Shakti-Shiva-Rea/dp/1591791847
Check out some of her sample clips on youtube to get a feel if her style of instruction appeals to you.
If increasing flexibility is your only goal, then I recommend book “Stretching” by Bob Anderson.
amazon.com/Stretching-20th-Anniversary-Revised-Anderson/dp/0936070226/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266558574&sr=1-1
There is also a “Stretching” dvd by Anderson, but I have not seen it.
I don’t know about Pilates, but would like to comment that being “not flexible enough” should not stop you from practicing yoga asana (poses).
You do not have to do a perfect pose (or even close to it), to derive benefit.
Example, in pose Uttanasana (Standing forward bend yogajournal.com/poses/478 ) even if a person cannot touch their toes (let alone get forehead to touch shins), you receive benefit by doing whatever creates a “developmental stretch.”
A “developmental stretch” is more than an “easy” stretch, but less intense than a painful, drastic (and potentially injury causing) stretch.
If you practice developmental stretches regularly (ideally once a day), you will likely see improved flexibility in two to three weeks.
Namaste’,

This review is from: Lenovo Yoga 11S Slot-In Case-WW (888015160) (Personal Computers)
I purchased this yesterday at Best Buy. I would have preferred to buy it from this seller, but I wanted it immediately. Best Buy also had it on sale, so I paid a few dollars more (higher price plus tax but no shipping cost) to get it right away.
I had my Yoga 11s only 4 days before buying this. I love the Yoga's form factor and use it in tablet mode 80% of the time. I always rest it on my lap, so the keys on the back only bothered me when I went to move it, but it bothered me a lot.
This case is thicker on one side - the side with the Lenovo logo - than the other. The thicker side covers the keyboard. While you can still feel the keys moving somewhat, it makes it much more comfortable, and I love knowing that my keyboard is protected. The thinner side makes it possible to put the Yoga in tablet mode with the screen almost lying completely flat against the back of the keyboard.
If you slide the closed Yoga 11s into the case, it does not completely cover the laptop. If it did, it would defeat the purpose of using this as a keyboard protector in tablet mode, as you wouldn't be able to fold the screen flat. So this will not suffice as a case that completely protects the laptop, although it will do a nice job if you're carrying the laptop like a book.
I'm really glad I purchased this.

Great Lenovo case, March 17, 2014

There are few people complaint about this case is not deep enough to protect the whole notebook when the notebook is closed. However, there is a reason for that -- because a lot of people using it in tablet mode to protect the keys. If this case is perfect length, bend backward like tablet will cause the notebook damage due to the hinge could broken off. When it is slightly shorter, it will not damage the hinge by accident.
We love Yoga 11s. This will provide great protection one way or the other. Make sure when holding this together with few books, have the exposed notebook toward you hand, so it will not slip away.

Good case, especially if you primarily use the machine in Tablet mode, March 6, 2014

Finding a good case for a product such as the Yoga is a bit of a challenge, mainly because protecting the computer can be complicated. To help organize these thoughts, here are a few considerations:
-I have looked at a few other cases for the Yoga. Some worked but did not allow the machine to fold back all the way (thus leaving a larger gap between the screen and keyboard portion in tablet mode.)
-This slot-in case works well, however it is only useful if you are going to use the computer in tablet mode. Optionally, you can also place it over the machine's body when you carry it in a bag or purse, as it will give a softer protection to it.
To use this case, you just fold down the computer in tablet mode,, align the front-hole with the poweroff button, and slip it over the keyboard which now hangs down. It does a decent job at protecting the keyboard assembly from dust that could accumulate on surfaces.
I can't say the price is justified though, as it is not an "fits all" solution.
