i'm thinking about starting a local yoga class next week, purely because i am SO BORED! though, i don't really know much about yoga. is it hard? do i have to put my legs behind my ears?

No it's not hard - check it is a beginners class though!

I used to do it and mostly it was about improving posture, strengthening your back and increasing (gradually) your flexiblity, and we were always offered a choice of 2 or more difficulty levels depending on what you could do.

Look at the postures here - should give you some idea:

Just tell the instructor if you are not flexible enough to do something, they will not expect you to do it.

Also it is very relaxing.

It would depend on what poses you choose to practice. Some poses are hard or even very hard to do, while many others are so easy to do that you could do them at the first try.
