I don't know much about it. Just learned a little bit from a friend who did it themselves. There are also Yoga videos that are instructional. I've gotten a few videos from my local library. Check out the books you are looking at through your library. That won't cost you anything and you get a "preview" before you buy. I usually do that with all the books I eventually buy.
I do know that you don't have to be in excellent shape, thin or very flexible. My grandma did it when she was 70. It's designed to help you become more fit and flexible. They modify many of the positions so that you don't stretch things. It's a very forgiving exercise. Anyone should be able to do it in some form. There are several kinds, Some just help you relax and some require more effort and work. It all depends on what you want out of it.
I imagine the book "Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies" might be good for a beginner. I haven't looked at it myself - just a guess.
