Classes at gyms and community centers are good.
The best beginner's DVDs/Videos are by Lilias Folan:

Most studios in my area offer an intro series of classes for people new to yoga. It lasts three to four weeks and meets once a week for an hour to an hour and a half. This is an excellent way to begin as it will give you a firm foundation to begin exploring other classes. I always encourage beginners to look for a class that offers a lot of instruction. Classes that are described as vinyasa or flow usually offer little or no instruction, so I would stay away from them for the first few months. Classes called hatha, classical, or gentle may be a good starting place to continue learning the basics.
Namaste!

Most schools that offers yoga classes has Yoga For Beginners. Start from there and decide later on what kind of yoga you'd like to specialize in ((:

I had spine surgery but was very interested in taking up Yoga.
Friends suggested Hatha yoga, as the moves are progressive. Mose pleaces teaching yoga would be able to advise what you could try by the level of difficulty and your body condition.
If you have any injuries, you may also wish to research on Pilates. It's very low strain and helps to tone core muscles + the breathing techniques helps with stress.

yoga in modern america is of two types, meditation and hatha. as for meditation, each individual must choose his or her own path, mine is raja. for the other i suggest Ashtanga.
