    i do hot (but not bikram) yoga two times a week. I can feel my stress melting away as I'm doing it. It's also helped me become conscious of my breathing, which I use to relieve anxiety and also to increase my endurance while running or lifting. I'm still a beginner, so I work to get deeper into each pose every class and focus on timing my breathe with my movements.

    I need the one that would be the least strenuos on my knees. They are very unstable as I have no ACL's.

    Find a good teacher that would give you modifications, that's where I would start.

    I agree. If you have any health issues, you definitely need a yoga teacher for advice, rather than making your own workout at home.

    This book is an introduction to very gentle yoga for over 40s! There are a few gentle poses in here. Still it is better to go to a class, but this book is interesting and is about more than just the poses. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yoga-Life-Strong-Flexible-Balanced/dp/0857830430 there is info about relaxation, meditation and mindful eating.
