Does anyone else do yoga who are overweight? I am overweight and have found some solace in Sadie Nardini, she is all over YouTube with great videos but I am losing steam. Any advice, I'm an absolute beginner and would love to continue with yoga. Any instructors you particularly like?

    I've taken regular, and yoga specifically for those who are overweight. The latter is a class called Curvy Yoga. She has trained some instructors, but I'm not sure how widespread the program is. Check her out at www.curvyyoga.com

    My FAVORITE yoga instructor at my gym is overweight. She has a knee problem and has some kind of thyroid problem. She also teaches a cycling class. I am technically about 10 pounds over weight, but 20 pounds ago (205) I was doing it. It takes a couple times to really enjoy it though, so stick with it!

    I actually like the wii fit yoga, and love no matter what weight I am. I am really into mybarre3 right now. they have classes in real life in some cities, but they have these great little mini workouts at 10,30,40 or 60 minutes...and quite a few for new mommies I might note.

    they have free trials and some on you tube as well.

    great stuff!
