I've been looking at my yoga DVD collection lately, trying to come up with titles with words like 'stress relief,' 'calming,' and 'relaxation' in them. So far, I've tried the following practices:
Barbara Benagh, Yoga for Stress Relief, 15-min. restorative poses (can't remember the exact title of the practice, but it was something like that). She uses a few folded blankets as props. Rodney Yee, Complete Yoga for Beginners, Yoga for Relaxation (20 mins.). He uses two yoga blocks as props. Rodney Yee, Yoga for Energy & Stress Relief (I did three practices from this one--Gentle Relaxation, Restore & Rejuvenate, and Soothe and Stretch. Each was about 20 minutes long.) The first two practices use a chair as a prop. The third uses no props. I really liked all of these practices. Some of the Rodney Yee's in particular were very meditative, relaxing, calming. If you are looking for something with more movement, though, look elsewhere. I'm planning to do more on an almost daily basis to help with my nervousness and restlessness during this rather stressful time. I've got to stop stress eating! Donna

Anyone have the Ali McGraw DVD? I found that I have it; remember doing in the 1990's. Will try it soon.

It’s a classic, I love it. It’s not restorative though, not vinyasa but definitely an active practice.

Not yoga, but Lee Holden has a DVD called "Qi Gong for Deep Sleep." You can try a floor stretch and breathing segment that is on YouTube:
