Subject: class in NYC for overweight person?


Can anyone recommend a good class that takes place regularly in New York (Manhattan) for an overweight person? I'm wondering if beginner classes are doable for me, or should I seek out something specific. I'm 5'8", 290 lbs.

Hi Sally,

Take some time to explore the yoga style that best matches your objectives so that you find a program that inspires you rather than one that does not meet your goals and interests. You may want also to talk to friends that have yoga experience to get their opinion on nearby classes and teachers.

You can try searching the websites below which provide a database of classes, schools and teachers:

Yoga.com's Certified Iyengar Teacher's directory at http://www.bksiyengar.com/teacherdir/selectcountry.htm
or check http://www.yogafinder.com and http://www.yogajournal.com

Also consider some videos and books as part of your introduction to yoga fitness. Take a look at Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss by Suzanne Deason and Yoga for Weight Loss by Yoga Zone at http://www.yoga.com/roots/yoga/store/wtloss.htm

I hope this helps and wish you much success.

Julia
