What would the immediate result of practicing Yoga be?

How does yoga help take an stressed overactive mind and calm it down?

What can responders expect if they practice yoga a couple of times, what could they look forward to if they practice yoga in their day to day experience?

Is there a difference between yoga and meditation?
