Yoga makes you more aware of your own body and especially your breathing - this forces your attention away from the world in your mind, into the present...and that's what being mindful, aware, and living in the "now" is all about.
Yoga can also be a good group activity where you can interact with other people in a low-stress and compassionate environment. It might even help you meet friends or mentors who are more empathetic and encouraging than the people you currently associate with. Going to a yoga class with a teacher and group can be helpful because a good teacher can improve your technique and doing yoga with other people around you can be inspiring and invigorating.
If you are so depressed that you're afraid of leaving the comfort and protection of your own home - don't despair. There are many free resources online and many instructional dvds for purchase. Here is a free online tutorial that look good:

Yoga is for everyone! Each yoga pose is designed to be built on, so you start with the most basic poses and then build on them. Don't be afraid! And remember - yoga is not a competition - yoga is about centering yourself and showing love to your own body by giving it your full attention as you relax, stretch, and strengthen every fiber in your body.

Hi,
Yoga is beneficial for the health in ways that modern science is just beginning to understand. Even though it has beenapplied with therapeutic intention for thousand of years, Yoga Therapy is only just now emerging as a discipline initself.
More health care practitioners are starting to include yogic techniques in their approach to healing -- andmore yoga teachers give a therapeutic intention to their teaching. People who have never tried yoga before are startingto consider including Yoga in their treatment plan.
As science begins to document the importance of understanding the interrelation of all existing things, it looks to Yogawith an intrigued eye, for Yoga speaks Unity in every word. As yoga techniques are researched and new data is gathered,it becomes easier for science and the medical establishment to understand and accept the benefits of Yoga Therapy.Yet there is still not one consensual definition of the discipline.
In order to arrive to an adequate definition and tocome up with proper standards for Yoga Therapy, it is crucial at this early stage to properly address some delicateprofessional and ethical issues. At the same time it is important to educatethegeneralpublic about Yoga Therapy'sbenefits and careful use.
so this article will really helpful to me..
