Just a word of caution about yoga ... I starting out learning it from a DVD by myself, and I ended up overdoing triangle pose and whacked out my back. After about 10 days of pain I dragged my butt to a yoga class for the first time to see if the instructor could help, and she really did. So, if at all possible, I would suggest starting out in a class with a good instructor who will watch how people are doing, newcomers especially, and repeatedly remind people not to do a pose or hold one if it becomes painful. It's something people should go at at their own pace. I found Patricia Walden very soothing, too, but it was while following one of her DVDs that I hurt myself.
