I hope you are inspired to try it out, @arckrai! Yoga can definitely do wonders for easing stress.
I will tell you that the first class I ever went to was NOT relaxing for me--I felt goofy and it was really quite intensely physically challenging and my mind kept thinking about other stuff, and I didn't understand why people said yoga was peaceful!!! But I also knew people had had success with it for thousands of years, so I gave it a few more chances. It really helped when a) I started practicing meditation, and b) I got a DVD to practice at home.
I suggest keeping an open mind and focusing on your breathing above physical poses. Hope this helps you!
