Videos of Famous Teachers
Call me naïve, but I believe it can be valuable to watch videos of accomplished yogis to pick up on their body language or even catch an energetic transmission.  I acknowledge that some of these teachers have been marred with scandal, which is information I don't quite know what "to do with," since I still consider these videos valuable.
