I’m 14 and want to start doing yoga. But not like extreme yoga(if theres such a thing?) but just something to do after school to relax me and help me get some form of physical activity.
I work for a health video website called http://icyou.com- we have lots of free yoga videos. One of our users named Tara Stiles is a celebrity yoga instructor- she has created a number of instructional yoga videos designed for beginners that you might like, below are the links to a few.
First, here is a couple she did that show you how to do some of the basic poses- these will help you with your yoga routine or you can create your own with just these poses:
Up Dog pose: http://icyou.com/topics/diseases-conditions/yoga-beginners-dog-mike+
Down Dog Pose: http://icyou.com/topics/diseases-conditions/yoga-beginners-down-dog-mike+
Handstand: http://icyou.com/topics/diseases-conditions/yoga-beginners-hand-stand-mike-taylor+
Here are 2 yoga routines that Tara created for beginners- the second one is my favorite, I do it once or twice a week:

If you like those yoga routines, she has many more you can try. You can see all her videos here: http://icyou.com/user/3107
Hope this helps!
Hey there,
Great to hear your want to start practicing yoga. For a beginner you will probably want to start with a basic Vinyasa or Flow cycle which is used in most yoga styles. When you are just starting out, it is best to go to a yoga studio so you have the guidance of an instructor. They will help you learn the flow of the class and how to do each pose safely.
If you are wanting to just practice at home, Yoga Journal has a great ‘gentle sequence’ with easy and relaxing poses that you might like. They also have a great FAQs section for beginners too that may help you. Here is the link to the sequence :

You can start with cleansing techniques like netrasnan. Learn how to sit in Vajrasan ("Thunderbolt" posture) and padmasan ( sitting in "lotus" posture).
Lean simple breathing exercises like Kapal bhati (brisk breathing), Ujjai (Snoring breath) and uddyan bandh ( trio locks).
It is essential that u learn surya namaskar ( Sun Salute). This is simple to do and will improve your stamina a lot.
If a person cannot do all yoga posture, he can get the benefit of doing all the postures by doing Sun salute alone.
Then u can learn other postures slowly.
