If you are primarily looking for a way to relax, I strongly recommend Tai Chi as an alternative that can achieve the same or better results, more quickly and in a way you won't find quite so "alien". It is really well suited to workaholics: it first caught my eye when I saw a movie showing that at lunchtime in parks all over Japan, office workers use Tai Chi to relax. 15 or 30 minutes at a time can make a big difference.
Size certainly isn't a problem and although there are books and tapes, it's a lot less potentially embarassing to be a beginner in a Tai Chi class. It really is best to take classes, because then you won't need to unlearn mistakes later...
