text: You can study yoga independently (as I do) or go to classes.  There is probably something local, so look around in newspapers or online.  If you want to practice by yourself, you can buy books and videos or look up excercises online.  There's a show called "Inhale" that comes on Oxygen around 6 am, perfect if you have a job or school and don't have time later in the day.  Meditation is often used as a "de-stressor" and you may find that the more you meditiate, you start to feel closer to yourself, and your mind may become more "quiet."  To meditate you have to find a very quiet place, a place where not even white noise can interefer with the process.  Sit up straight in a comfortable position, which can be in a chair or on the floor in lotus* position (also used in yoga).  Closing your eyes is optional, but you may freak some people out with that.  Focus on breathing- in through the nose, out through mouth.  Imagine your breath fanning out of your mouth, ridding your body of toxins.  If you find that thoughts enter your head, don't fight them- it's part of the process.  Stay focused on your breath and don't judge your thoughts.  Stay sitting and focused for about 10-15 minutes and repeat daily.\n\n\n\n*Lotus position- Sitting on the floor cross-legged, slowly pull your left foot onto right thigh, sole up.  Then, pull right foot onto left tight, sole up.  Make sure to sit up straight.
