I've tried it all. I prefer yoga over anything else. If you're an early riser, at 6am on the Oxygen network there is a show called Inhale. Its not a normal yoga program, it is energizing and relaxing all at the same time. If you've never done it before that's a good one to try. Its inspirational, I love it. The instructor also wrote a book called Happy Yoga (Steve Ross is his name)... I love it! ON A SIDE NOTE... if you're having a lot of anxiety, depression or PMDD you may want to go down to GNC and buy a bottle of Gaba. Its an amino acid. I've been taking it lately and I'll tell you, I feel 100% better.

GNC is a vitamin store. I checked for Gaba at Walmart and Target, they didn't have it though. My son's Father, David, is a RN and he did some research on it and said that it is used in most beverages in Japan and is widely used in other countries. He thought that it sounded good and not bad for your health so I gave him a few of my own and he went and bought a bottle the next day. He was even able to quit taking Paxil, which he has been on for 7 years. My friend, Patrick, recommended them and gave me a sample. He had been taking Ambien because he was having an anxiety problem and wasn't sleeping well. WELL, he had the weird sleep walking problem so he stopped taking the Ambien and a friend of his recommended Gaba.
I think that yoga would actually be very benificial to your lungs. You may not think so because it's uncomfortable, but you have to go through some discomfort in any sport/excersise etc... you build up a tolerance and then you'll see improvement...

another useless fact... I'm full of them... you said you quit smoking. Keep up the good work. If you quit smoking before the age of 25 it only takes 6 months for your lungs to return to a normal, healthy state. After 25 your body's healing capasity is less.

Believe it or not, most physical tension relief is very short-lived. Just like anything else, if you do not address the origin of stress tension, it will never go away. Think of it as only throwing water at the tip of a flame. The fire will continue to burn, and in most cases, continue to spread. Until you smother the source of the fire, it will continue to burn and grow.
You mentioned quitting smoking and fractured ribs. Congrats on quitting smoking! Stick with it. If you are dealing with recently damaged ribs, then you need to allow your body to fully heal prior to getting involved in anything physically strenuous. Damaged ribs take a long time to properly heal and they are VERY uncomfortable!

The gi's (uniforms) that most Shaolin-Do schools use seem clearly Japanese influenced, and their material is not like any of the Shaolin material I have seen be it at the temple or here in the states. There is an ongoing dispute about the legitimacy of the style...
Traditional Kung Fu has had these sorts of conflicts in the past. Any variant away from the traditional basis tends to be considered an "outcast" of sorts, yet the best of the best have always been those who transcended boundaries. Think Bruce Lee and Jeet Kune Do.
