What is a good way to start yoga?

I want to start yoga to add to my diet and exercise regimen and to help with clearing my stressed out mind. There is a yoga studio where I live but my schedule as a graduate student does not permit me to attend any of their offerings. What are some ways I can learn on my own such as books, tapes, or websites? Thanks.

Update:

Try reading the question BEFORE you answer it, Ankit.

    I used to do yoga classes but then I got stationed in an area that didn't have them available. I ended up buying a book for it. I love this book so much that I buy it for my friends. The great thing about it is that there are large pictures and instructions on how to ease into the pose as well as making the pose more difficult. Since you want help clearing out your mind, you'll also appreciate the meditation information in the back of the book.

    I like this website: http://www.iyogalife.com/

    It has online videos to show how to get into the positions. Also what's nice about yoga is its simplicity. You don't need fancy equipment and you can do it anywhere.
