I've used 2 of the yoga apps and they're great.

I think mindfulness is really good for anxiety too - the Michael Stone app is brilliant.

TBH, I think if you're a complete beginner, you need and teacher and or a class, at least to start with. Getting out to a group might help with depression too?

I love Yoga, my weekly class is the highlight of my week Blush

I would agree about a class, and also about mindfulness.

I have suffered with anxiety and depression for years and I find something high energy helps me far more when I am in a bad place, yoga is good for keeping me stable when I am a bit more 'up'.

Yes I do a yoga video off youtube:

very helpful for calming, de-stressing and keeping you in good physical condition too.

Would be better if you could get to a class if you're a beginner, but if that's not an option this is a good intro dvd:

Seven Secrets of Yoga

Good luck and I hope it helps you x
