Turn off your radio, television, and telephone. Start with a few warm-up stretches, especially if you haven't exercised in a long time. As you become more certain of your abilities, cautiously add one or two new poses. Try to practice every day. If this is too much, start with just 10 minutes daily.
Many people enjoy practicing yoga techniques throughout the day.
Practice diaphragmatic breathing while in line at the bank, stopped at a traffic light, or sitting in a doctor's waiting room. If you have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, practice the relaxation and meditation techniques in bed when you retire.
