Is yoga right for me?!
Question: Is yoga right for me!?
I'm 300 pounds overweight, and can barely touch my toes!. I can't even do one push up or one chip up!. Trying to get on the floor to do even one push up is impossible for me!.
I've heard good things about yoga in recent years!. I am trying to loose weight, and am very interested in yoga!. But I'm not flexible enough to join a class!. I've tried to do some videos on my own but I can't even get close to some of the positions the instructor can do then I get frustrated and give up!.
Is there any videos out there for fat people or very inflexible people!?
I really want to take up yoga because I have a lot of back and joint pain and have been told it would help my joint and back pain tremendously!.
I really can't afford to take a class at a yoga stuido-plus I'd feel out of place being around a bunch of skinny, way more flexible people than me right now!. Maybe after a couple months of doing yoga at home and I can at least keep up with the class (and money providing) I'll take a few!.
What are some good yoga videos for me to do!? Is yoga even right for me!? Do I need to lose 100 pounds first and/or wouWww@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Everyone has to start somewhere!. Yoga is an art form that is not easy to achieve, so don't beat yourself up for not being able to do and hold certain poses!.
I understand what you mean about wanting to practice it at home until you build up some confidence in your skill level!. Try a different DVD!. There are tons of videos out there for beginners!. There are even ones that have multiple "layers" for folks who are new but will need and want a challenge when they become more flexible!.
Yoga is right for everyone! That's my advice!.!.!.just find a video that shows modifications or one that is designed for beginners!. I think I saw a DVD on Amazon!.com that was entitled "Yoga for the Inflexible"!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
