    Anyone know any good places for plus size yoga clothing?

    It took a lot of searching and they don’t have a lot but they have some good stuff with non-cotton materials.

    I practice Bikram and I am also overweight. My breasts get in the way and my stomach. I do my best and my instructor will give me tips on what to do. For example in the Eagle Pose I cannot get my arms in that position because my breasts are too large. So I cross my arms and grab my alternating shoulders, as was suggested.

    I have been reading Bikram’s book and been listening to my instructors. It seems to me it’s not about doing all the poses perfect it’s about doing them to the best you can do. Your body still gets the benefit. Your organs get the compression and the blood flow and your spine still gets the stretching.

    I talk to myself and I am amazed with myself that I am even doing the things I do! I never even thought I could do half of what I do there. At the end of it, I am sure I am getting something out of it. My brain sure gets a lot out of it! (haha)

    in reply to: Difference between Bikram and Hot Yoga? #7134

    I am 43 and overweight (250 and 5′ 9″). I started Bikram about 3 weeks ago. I don’t know any other types of yoga but to me it doesn’t seem too strict or hard core or anything like that for me. If I have trouble with a posture the teacher will give me an alternative. We don’t use straps and blocks typically and instead adjust a bit to get into a pose. (Trust me I can’t balance so I just keep trying, eventually I will)

    Bikram has a book that I have found very interesting. I was scared the first time but I went and did it, and I love it. The great thing about yoga is that there is something for everyone.
