Many people experience a greater serenity about life in general as well. In practicing yoga, you are advised to maintain moment to moment awareness and not strive to get anywhere. Move slowly and consciously. Yoga involves exploring your limits without pushing past them. Honor your body and listen to what it tells you about when to stop and when to avoid a posture that is painful.
Yoga requires no special equipment and can be done almost anywhere.
You can learn it from video or audiotapes and then go on to invent your own postures. You might want to join a yoga class if you enjoy the company, or you can get new ideas from reading books about yoga. Stretch your legs out, pushing the heels of your feet towards the opposite wall. Slowly bring one knee up to your chest, clasping it with both hands. Pull your head up to meet your knee and hold.
