Re: Via the network, hoping that's okay

Okay, a lot depends on what you're interested in and where you're starting from, but just off the top of my head:

Yoga is very easy to do at home -- it turns out that iTunes has a wealth of free yoga podcasts, including some awesome video ones from Yoga Journal, so you can see what you're supposed to be doing. The mod of [community profile] sun_salutation has been putting up a series of "getting started" posts for beginners there, and it's a great place to ask questions.

Then strength training is awesome and very good for you; you can get a lot done with a really cheap dumbell set or some resistance bands or a single kettlebell, or even just with bodyweight exercises. Stumptuous has some excellent resources, including good ones for beginners. There isn't a strength training comm on DW yet, but various people are threatening to start one *g*.

But seriously, just let me know what you're interested in or ask me stuff, and I will do what I can to be useful: I love chatting about this stuff.
