I think exercise in general, including yoga, is a great way to relieve stress when quitting.  I have not tried yoga but do believe that it would be helpful when quitting.

I did yoga for YEARS and wish I could have practiced it during my quit.  The breathing and relaxation, as well as the calming poses and meditative thoughts would help a GREAT deal, I would think.  I still use the breathing techniques taught to me whenever I am under stress like waiting to go into the dentist's chair, for surgery, in traffic, and did use it a lot while I was quitting smoking.  It would be a good addition to your quit tool box.
