I used to practice yoga fairly regularly, but I've found that I like pilates much much better.
On the good side - yoga is an easy practice to modify for different levels of fitness, so you and your mom could probably take the same class and just move at your own comfort level. It's always a good idea to start at the "easiest" level if you've never practiced before, so you can learn all of the postures properly. It's very relaxing and a fantastic stress reliever.
On the not so good side - if your mom doesn't like sweating, she definitely won't like yoga. Most yoga instructors turn on the heat in the room to warm your muscles and make it easier to do some of the postures. It can also be strenuous, and it really hurts my wrists.
