As anyone who knows anything about fitness and exercise knows that you have to start somewhere and move slowly, and the same principle applies to Yoga. It's about leaving your ego at the door and moving your body in the present moment.
Although Hatha, Kundalini, and Raja Yoga contain many breathing exercises (Pranayama) and postures (Asanas), Yoga is not merely another physical exercise system. The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit language and means "to integrate". Regular breathing is performed at the same time which aids in providing oxygen to the muscles, and in turn positively affects bodily structures and organs.
During your practice, you'll surely shed hair and skin from your hands and feet. During busy days, we may not be able to unwind because work is still on our mind. Kundalini Yoga is extremely spiritual and tends to focus predominantly on breathing exercises, chanting, relaxation and meditation.
No one expects you to transform overnight, so keep at it. Do something you really enjoy.
