you should probably be doing arobic excercise to lose some weight
*cough*…
FATTY
The kind where you wear lots of loose fitting clothes in layers
Hatha yoga, because it is simple enough for anyone to do. No extreme poses, no uncomfortable positions. It is ideal for people with disadvantages, i is relaxing, and it tones you up and builds your stamina.
As a big girl myself i felt like pilates would be easier I started doing the windsor pilaties and i have already started lossing weight.
There is a “Just my Size” yoga dvd available from qvc.
Any beginner’s yoga should be fine because you just go into the poses as far as you are comfortable….I got involved in Iyengar Yoga (you can look it up) when I was a lot heavier, and loved it…it uses props such as belts and blocks to help you get into the poses until you gain the flexibility to do them without.
Yoga Journals has videos and DVDs and I’ve enjoyed their instructors Patricia Walden and Rodney Yee. Here’s a link to a beginners DVD that I like http://www.yoga.com/store/product.asp?Product_ID=1573 although you can probably find it for a better price on eBay.
I love yoga…I hope you enjoy it!
Namastè!
Hi! I’ve been doing yoga or quite a while and I suggest Hatha or Sivananda, because they aren’t very tiring. But either way, they is no special yoga for larger women! Everyone is welcome =) Hope I helped! xx
There are a few good DVDs out already, and one of them is mine! Big Yoga Hatha 1 is available from Amazon, or my website, http://www.bigyogaonline.com. Megan Garcia has one called Just My Size, and Abby Lenz has a DVD called “Heavyweight Yoga”. There is also Peggy Cappy’s “Yoga for the Ret of Us”. The Big Yoga book is coming out soon, and it has a lot of adaptations to traditional yoga poses. Good luck!
