Get your printouts
If you find it difficult to remember yoga postures, then getting printouts of pictures of various yoga postures would be a good idea. In addition, you could also jot down a few points on how to practice a given yoga pose. A single printout containing both the pictures as well as instructions will give you a quick overview of the yoga poses. Just go through these prints and you will be able to plan a successful yoga session for yourself.
Go local

Head to a yoga hotel
These days, there are several hotels that provide you with yoga amenities. They have an in house yoga instructor and several yoga sessions are conducted within the vicinity of a hotel. So, before you check in to a particular hotel, make sure that you check for the availability of yoga facilities.
Yoga in a DVD
