I live in the middle of nowhere, so classes aren't an option. Any good DVDs or books out there?

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 Patricia 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 DVDs, you might want to try the newer one (Yoga for Beginners 2) since it has a more beautiful production of music and scenic background.
I also recommend buying the book "Yoga-The Path to Holistic Health" by BKS Iyengar which explains each pose and its benefits. For a more serious practice, BKS Iyengar's book "Light on Yoga" is a comprehensive manual on yoga, the philosophy, poses and breathing for the beginner and advanced student.
