    I’ve tried to start yoga before many times but never able to get past a few minutes as not able to get into required positions. This experience was totally different, completely inclusive and I know this time I’ll be able to succeed and develop with Zelinda’s utterly helpful guidance and encouragement!

    I'm not a native english speaker but as I failed to find any yoga classes for bigger bodies in my language, I am very glad I find it here. Your slow and kind speaking makes it easier for me to understand and also I felt relaxed and thankful for you and your work. So thank you once again for thinking that we deserve practicing yoga too.

    This video and yoga routine was EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Her sensitivity and knowledge of the issues that larger bodies have is truly helpful as I begin my fitness journey. Thank you Zelinda and Yoga room!

    I always thought as a large size body I'm just not capable of yoga. Today I woke up and decided to give it another go. I opened UA-cam this time, instead of paying for gymondo & co and the first video I found was yours. I am so grateful! For the first time the movements almost felt natural and I never felt like this. Thank you SO much for this wholesome, inclusive and healing experience!

    I want to become more flexible, and I am not only a larger person, I am older and have a foot prosthetic. I figure that while I cannot do some of the exercises in your videos-- for instance "flex your toes" is not an option for my left foot-- :P I can do some of them. I also noticed that while I do your exercises, I do not breathe well, (as in being mindful of that) so I feel that this will also be beneficial. Thank you so much.

As an overweight girl I still struggle with those. Anything that is made for people like me, similar to yours?

    • @yogawithzelinda
      @yogawithzelinda  Місяць тому

      I would suggest letting your stance be a bit wide, purposefully bending your knees, and folding less so that your legs hopefully won't feel compelled to straighten. Here's a little more information about modifications, in case you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/2wl7b0n6KYs/v-deo.html
