Good Morning @larry68
I hope you had a restful night! Quality sleep is so important for all of us with epilepsy, since poor sleep is one of the most common seizure triggers.
You asked whether yoga has helped me. My answer: tremendously. I only wish I had listened to my mother sooner!
I practice traditional yoga — also known as hatha and raja yoga — which focuses on traditional postures, breath, alignment, and stillness rather than the acrobatic postures you may see in some modern styles. If at all possible, I would recommend starting with in-person classes, so a teacher can guide your breathing and posture from the beginning.
I share here an online class with my wonderful teacher, Marcos Rojo, recorded during Covid times. It was designed for everyone — beginners and experienced practitioners alike. The class is in Portuguese, but subtitles are easy to enable on You Tube.

Alongside my hatha and raja practice, I do yoga nidra every day after lunch. This might actually be the perfect place for you to start. Yoga nidra requires no prior experience: you simply lie on your back and listen. It is deeply restorative and wonderfully calming. Here is one of my favorites:
- Yoga Nidra Meditation (as by Swami Satyananda)

Give it a try and notice how you feel afterward.
Is there a good yoga studio near you that you might explore?
Have a nice day!
