interesting...

"Dear Father, For the person asking about relaxation techniques: Have you ever tried something called neuromuscular relaxation? It consists of learning what tension feels like, and then mentally scanning your body for tension and releasing it. This can be done any time any where and there is nothing "new age" about it that I can see. It is entirely natural. It does provide physical benefits without the mind numbing mantras of transendental meditation or new age spirituality that yoga can have. Hope this helps.

God bless. Sabora"

Try Pilates, maybe. That's more of an excercise program than a spiritual enlightenment thing. At least that's the impression I get. I migth be worth a look.
