Suggestions for websites/books of Yoga routines that increase control, flexibility, and toning?
I’m trying to get fit after several years of being a potato. I’m dieting & having lots of success, but now I want to tackle my overall fitness. Some of the areas I want to target are my flexibility, strength, toning, and muscle control, which are all embarrassingly awful, due to breaking bones in my back a few years ago and not completing PT. I’m looking to ease myself into a toning, strength, muscle control, and flexibility routine that is low-impact, so I’m thinking Yoga.
Of course, we have no Yoga classes closer than 1 hr away, so I’m on my own. I was hoping somebody could suggest a book or website, (no videos or DVDs!) of several great Yoga routines that focus on strength, control, flexibility, and toning that is good for beginners, but allow for further development. I’m already doing the Sun Salutation, and I’d like to add to that, to create a daily routine that lasts at least 30 min.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Addition:
Ideas that include a workout schedule of routines are really appreciated too… I’m awful at developing exercise routines, and I do much better with instructions that say "Do this on this day, do that on that day." 
The more complete and bossy, the better!!

Sun Salutations are the best yoga work-outs for what you’re trying to accomplish. They may not be as "low-intensity" as you might think, however. You will be sweating and probably even shaking by the end of your practice.
Here is a link to a site detailing all 12 steps of a common sun salutation set: http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/yogapractice/sunsalutation.asp
If you really want to learn how to position your body so that you don’t strain any muscles in the process, you can refer to the book "Yoga Mind, Body & Spirit: A Return to Wholeness" by Donna Farhi. It’s a great book with awesome explanations and illustrations.
If you really want to see results with your yoga practice, you should practice for an entire hour 3-4 times a week. Of course, if you are going to be doing yoga 4 times a week you are probably going to get sick of Sun Salutations…in which case I would definitely recommend you getting Farhi’s book so that you can explore many other yoga poses and add them to your routine!
(If you are already active, you can combine yoga with your current work-out routine and practice yoga at least twice a week.)
I like to practice yoga first thing in the morning. It keeps me energized and in a very good mood for the whole day. =)

Look at www@harriettcarter.com. I KNOW I saw a Yoga routine offer in several of the catalogs, but I truly don’t remember if it were a book or video. You might want to check the website and see.
