Stick with the instructional video and try and find another introductory one. Master the basics. When you do, then start looking into classes.

I'm guessing he either doesn't have the time to go somewhere or doesn't want to go somewhere. In any case, videos will do the trick for a beginner.

YOGA all depends on the Breath. Take breath Do exercises, then after completing the breath, leave the Breath. Tons of videos are available, but find some Good Instructor.

 

they have this for high stress dogs too. they call it doga. seriously, look it up. although i don't know how it would work. you get a bunch of dogs and bitches into a yoga studio, i would imagine that within a few minutes it would descend into an orgy of mutual ass sniffing and fucking.

 

Studies show that just stretching does wonders for a persons mental state. I've also read that being conscious of breathing can really impact how your body reacts to stimulus. If my manager is attacking me I'll inhale through my nose for 6 seconds, hold for 4, and exhale for 6. If I do that two-three times then I'm usually good to go. You could also try joining a boxing/MMA gym. There's nothing like punching some kid in the throat after closing a deal. That being said, it's not uncommon to see me meditating on a yoga mat as well
