Yoga for us big girls?
I absolutely love yoga and have done it pretty consistently, even at my heaviest (315). I would highly recommend the Yoga for Dummies series with Sara Ivanhoe. She's great. 2 things though - don't take yourself too seriously (it takes some time to learn the postures) and don't have anyone in the room with you while you're learning.
I go to a yoga class every Monday night. Just started in Feb. I am now 225lbs and while I can't do everything perfectly, it is fun trying.
Give it a try. There are women (and men) of all sizes in my class. Try to buy a thicker yoga mat, such as the 1/4" thick mat, instead of the thinner 1/8" ones. I also have a fold up exercise mat that I place under my yoga mat, which helps with the knee pain.
