I've never been able to touch my toes. I've always heard that yoga could stretch me out enough to be able to do that. I just don't know where to start and I don't have time to attend a class.

There is a yoga exercise called Sun Salutation. It consists of 12 yoga steps. This yoga exercise is a complete exercise for your body as well as brain. I don't do it regularly, though.

Yoga does amazing things for mental health. It only takes the physical movements, breath, and then the meditation to achieve that mental state. It's wonderful for calming the mind and soothing stress. What poses do you find to really make you feel good?

Don't be tense. You can start with simple yoga poses from home. You can do simple yoga poses that would stretch your hamstrings. You can find many resources to show you how through videos online preferably YouTube.

That's so awesome. I have also got to watch couple of videos on YouTube on yoga. It really helped to learn some new poses. Have you tried any specific yoga style that you are drawn to?
