We owe it to ourselves to nurture this delicate vehicle which moves us through our world. Yoga for Stress Relief and Forgiveness provides a step by step recipe for calm and healing.

If you have never done yoga at all, I highly recommend you start with a live human being helping you in person. That person can ensure you hold the poses in a healthy, safe way. If you don't have access to a human, at least use a video of some sort to see the poses in motion. It's like learning the harp or learning to swim - you need to see how the whole body moves.
