I have tried meditation at the local Shambhala center (2 years) and also meditation after Vinyasa Flow Yoga session (1 year so far). I found both rewarding. They were rewarding for different reasons though. It would take volumes to note the differences. Essentially, the first was more spiritual and the second was physical and spiritual. This book may help you... http://tinyurl.com/bfqdq9 I go to yoga class weekly and practice sitting meditation less, but try to fit in a session once or twice a month. Good luck.
