I know some of our members had tried and or does yoga, but I never thought I would be able to do it due to my abnormal clutziness! Yes I'm still clutzy, but I've been doing the Wii Fit Yoga poses, and find I actually enjoy the stretching and balance. I've been amazed at how the poses work the muscles.
I've been doing the Wii Fit this whole month and can see an improvement in my performance of the poses as well as a change in my shape! So if you haven't tried yoga, look up a couple different poses and throw them into the mix of your normal exercise routine. I've only been doing a few poses since my knee is injured, but I am positive that the 10-15 minutes of yoga as part of my workout is making a difference. So much so, that some day I may get enough confidence...and balance...to try a class. Well maybe not, since I am no expert, but my opinion of yoga has certainly changed!
Here's just one website of the millions out there: http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/yogapractice/postures.asp I'm linking this one since it gives animated directions on how to do the poses and has the basics. Enjoy!

That's great that you're getting into yoga! Let me know if you want to come with me to a weekend class at my gym sometime. I think not only does it help with flexibility and core strength, but helps you manage stress through use of breathing techniques and visualization as well.
