Fabulous. I've found most of the vids that are for 'beginners' actually are for retired Olympic gymnasts who may never have done yoga. That's not me. I've lost all my flexibility and gained weight, but this was actually useful!! More please.
@Yoster Schnauss Exactly! Are they insane? I think they've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner. When I taught aerobics (because I wasn't always old, fat and inflexible) we used to show different versions, to cater to different stages of fitness and ability.
Yoster Schnauss Haha thanks for the laugh! I had the same reaction.
Nice she is amazing I love doing exercise hello how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family and you are all staying safe always over there
Agreed! 🤣
lol 'retired olympic gymnists' im dead 😂
I found this video after sobbing on my yoga mat because I couldn't do the second pose in a 'easy beginners' yoga video. I'm so excited to see a video I'm confident I'll be able to do but will still get some movement and training in. Thank you!
Me too! I love this, I wish this studio was local for me.
Wonderful! thank you!
Kayla Wayne me toooo!!!!
me too! you are not alone
Me too! Bought a beginner's video that went so fast and assumed a lot of flexibility. This was perfect.
THANK YOU! As an fat, inflexible, middle-aged woman with poor balance, I had always assumed yoga just wasn't for me, but knee pain forced me to look for an alternative to walking as my main form of exercise. I found some yoga instruction geared towards larger people, some geared toward inflexible people, and some geared towards beginners, what what about the fat, inflexible beginner?? What I found was so intimidating. Once I couldn't even do the very first pose in a video and was nearly in tears. Once I looked through the photos of several practices in a manual and immediately shut the book and put it into the trash, knowing I'd never be able to do it. But then I found this video, and finally, I have a doable practice! I love it, and I feel so unbelievably good both on and off the mat--happier, calmer, more focused, more energetic, less pain. I had no idea yoga was so awesome or I would've started doing it ages ago!
Oh Kristen, you made our day! We’re so happy you are enjoying and benefiting from yoga now. We’re working on more videos so please stay tuned! 🙂 Zelinda
YES!! THIS!! I am crying now. So happy I found this.
Kristen- YES!!! You described me! Your comment struck a cord with me! Best of luck to you on your journey!!
I am the same as you described! I just discovered this today, & I’m excited to begin these! My therapist has been telling me for years to do yoga, but she didn’t understand my pain. Also I work nights, & yoga classes never seemed to be in the afternoon hours I needed. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS FOR US!!
Toni Irwin I’m teary too. I am happy to find this!🥰💗
She has beautiful postural alignment and shows us that movement can be beautiful and graceful at any size. I like the calm precision of the cuing . The instructor is very effective at reducing any stress caused by anticipated embarassment. All in all this is a very well presented lesson.
Yes! She's a natural teacher
Gail Chamberlain thank you for your kind words. 🙏🏽 -Zelinda
Nice she is amazing I love doing exercise hello how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family and you are all staying safe always over there
So important for us curvy yoga teachers to be visible, to be heard and to connect. Tired of seeing classes and studios with the token gesture of 'accessibility' - we need more teachers who are diverse, all cultures, shapes, sizes, ages - every corner of our communities! Peachy xxx
I feel like our society simultaneously shames us into "losing weight" but then also shames us away from exercising. This video (actually, these videos---there is a playlist) have been most welcome in my life.
Sigh. A true example of when you're the one who's had privilege your entire life, equality feels like oppression. Thanks for your input, Skinny Karen.
Thank you for showing true plus size people instead of skinny people! They don't understand the struggle on our joints and balance when we exercise! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring people!
I am a bigger girl trying to slim down. I had a difficult time doing different videos of yoga for beginners but this yoga session was a great fit for me. I felt really great afterwards!
Hooray! Wife and I been doing stretches/yoga exercises a little bit recently. All the things that usually come up searching "yoga for beginners" or something like that are super-thin women going from pose to pose way to fast to understand all of what she's saying while her super flexy & thin body contorts into unnatural- looking positions. Bravo for the coach & especially also to Deniece!
I need more videos like this one!
Hello Scott, and please tell your wife hello for me too! I'm glad to know you enjoyed this video. :) Did you know I'm currently leading a 21 Day Yoga Challenge with live videos right here on our channel? Everything I teach is appropriate and beneficial for people with all kinds of bodies. Today was Day 16, but everything is recorded in our 21 Day Challenge playlist and you can start at Day 1 whenever you're ready. I'm happy you found us! :)
First time in a long time. Yoga with a32 yr.old, 309 lb. body feels different than my 18 yr.old 180 lb. body. I'm so grateful this video was available. Thank u.
Thank you so much. I've found so few teachers know how to modify poses or provide variations for bigger bodies. It's really sad because it never occurs to a lot of teachers how hard certain asanas are for bigger people and a lot of people have felt shut out of yoga because of it.
Nice she is amazing I love doing exercise hello how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family and you are all staying safe always over there🌹🌹🌹
I just LOVE this video! I have been using it for months now. At first, it was all I could do. Now I go to it for a warm-up or when I am feeling too tired to do something more. Can you please make more like it?? Thank you so much!
Thank you for making this. This is my first attempt at yoga ever and it has helped me a lot during lockdown. 🖤
What are your hands
I still have to try it.. but definitely very interested.
Mamta Rani 🖖🏻
Hitado Dota mostly helped me with stiffness and muscular pain related to that
This was wonderful. I'm plus size and interested in yoga, but it's been hard finding videos where I can either keep up with the difficulty, or put my body into the same position. This was perfect. I'm sad that I never knew about your studio while I lived in Round Rock. You've created a very nurturing and comfortable environment.
Mallory Wang we’re sorry we missed you, too! Please do come see us if you come back to Round Rock for a visit. 🙂
I agree. I have felt the same as you Mallory and she just made me feel like I can do this!! I kinda got a little teary eyed that I didnt think of searching on UA-cam for these videos sooner. I could have been doing this all along.
I have fallen 3 times that have left me with will 3 fractures. Now I can't even go outside for a walk around the neighborhood. I found this video and it has encouraged me to take up yoga Kudos to you for thinking of overweight women.
Nice she is amazing I love doing exercise hello how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family and you are all staying safe always over there
My fascia has been so tight for so long. Add this to being 100+ pounds overweight and traditional "easy" yoga was just not working. I am SO thankful for you two and that you took the time to put out a video that truly is calming and beneficial when it comes to stretching as a bigger bodied person! I felt it working, but didn't feel stress physically and more importantly emotionally while doing this video. Denisse!!!! You are amazing! :)
Today was my first day of yoga but luckily I could all postures like the model. So m thankful. N plz upload more versions of the big body yoga
Oh good lord, I cannot thank y'all enough for this. While I'm not completely new to yoga, I'm definitely part of the big body brigade and it's nice to have a series that's cognizant of us folks with big thighs, stomachs, arms, you name it. Can't tell you how often I've had to give up on a video for "beginners" that assumes a certain level of flexibility and doesn't even offer modifications. Still feels weird having to search for plus sized yoga as a guy, but I feel much more at peace than weird after a practice that gets ME, instead of having to get the practice. Namaste 🙏🏾
Hello MaestroJ34, I'm so happy to read your note! What you said perfectly fits the way I try to teach. I want to make the practice suit the person rather than the person trying to fit the practice. I'm so glad you're here! :)
This is an excellent introduction to yoga. Most of the yoga video and classes I have seen out there didn’t seem like it could be for me as they are often represented by extremely skinny and very flexible people. I have had a knee surgery recently and I am overweight, and I didn’t think yoga could be for me but your video changed my mind. I see that there is a series and I will be using them as I get better at this. Thank you so much for putting this out there in this way, you have no idea how much you’ve helped so many people.
This is the first time I ever finished a yoga session without feeling so much hate on my body. I hope you do more of these. Thank you s much xx
Hello ccrdev! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have a whole playlist of videos for bigger bodies. Here you go! ua-cam.com/play/PLFr6eAcUWqfDoysc6gtxbFGUKRnq64DZA.html
My mom is obese and it's caused her to avoid mirrors, and pictures as well as having a focus on thinner bodies, something she feels she will never be able to achieve. I love her so much and to see one of the most beautiful people I know feel this way breaks my heart. So she asked me awhile back to help her do some excersises that are fairly easy for her and easy on her legs as she has trouble waking, which she still tries to do even though it hurts. I think if she attempts to do this and eventually complete it (because I know it'll take her some time) but there is no doubt in her mind that her mental state will improve along with her physical state. I truly can not express into words how much this means to me for there to be a video like this and that you think of all bodies and levels of skill
Continue to support and show your Mom love. This will go a long way in helping her reach her goals. Blessings to both of you.
Oh my goodness this touched my heart. Its me... i'm just like your mom. I have two 4 year old little girls and I've already noticed them picking up on my self judgement, behavior, and obsession. This broke my heart but also was a wakeup call. You are a sweet girl. Your mom is so lucky to have a daughter like you. Thank you for sharing because... you might have just changed my life. I'm literally teary right now. I hope your mom is doing great and that you both are healthy and happy. Hugs.
Hello from Houston, TX! This was 25 mins of easy productive stretching. Thank you. 49, round and trying to get moving again after an accident resulted in L5 disc issues. Your video is a great start! 💗
Oh gosh thank you! All bodies are good bodies, and it’s SO nice to find a practice that’s nice to my body too. I hope you keep creating yoga vids for larger bodies. This is exactly what I need.
This is so wonderful, I am so inflexible and out of shape this is such a great starting point for me, finally a video I that'll get me on the right track!
Thank uou. I am 68 years old and overweight, had a couple of falls, so aching all over and never thought I could get back to yoga again, but here I am slowly starting.
This was a perfect reference! I also teach a form of gentle yoga so it’s nice to see some videos with various people!
I'm so excited to have found yoga for women that has trouble moving in a regular position. I love it
Yoga means unity. No discrimination. This is so good. Thank you 🙏🏻
Nice she is amazing I love doing exercise hello how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family and you are all staying safe always over there
I put off doing yoga for a long time coz I'm a man and I thought people would laugh at me. I tried doing a beginners' video and the poses were quite tough as a bigger person. I love this video, the exercises are simple but effective and my physical and mental health are already improving as a result!
I am so incredibly grateful for this series. I have struggled to get into so many traditional yoga positions and find myself really discouraged. This series has given me confidence and is doing wonders for my flexibility and my state of mind. Thank you thank you thank you.🙏❤️
My husband and I love watching your videos. We say that you are like the Bob Ross of Yoga, very calm and patient and explaining everything well.
@Coffin Nail, thank you! That's the best compliment ever. :) - Zelinda
Thank you so much for being here!!! This is the first yoga video in such a long time (if ever) that I didn't have to pause because they were moving to fast between poses or skip any poses because I didn't know how to modify them to my needs. This video was a perfect first for my "at home yoga retreat," where I can tell your videos will be heavily featured. I also really appreciate not having to transition so much between sitting and standing poses. Thank you so much!
Just finished doing this session and I really enjoyed it! I’ve done yoga in the past (quite a while ago) but I’m very very out of practice and wanted to start gently and this was a really wonderful practice to start off with. Looking forward to doing the others. Would love to see loads more for bigger bodies!
Honestly this is great for people who are not as flexible and need gentle stretches and movements. Thanks!
Thank you! I did yoga 50 years ago and 30 pounds lighter. I remember how good I felt. Decided to try a “simple, beginner’s” video and had to stop almost immediately. My fat got in the way, my muscles went into shock, and I just laid down watching the video and laughing. Well crying a little. I thought I can’t be the only out of shape overweight person who wants to do yoga. Searched “yoga for fat people” and found this. Wow! Thank you. It’s doable! I love the pace, and resting in between, and the lovely teacher and student. I feel happy, safe, and hopeful. Ooops! More tears. 🙏🏼 ❤️🌈🌻😊
Aww, @DreamingCatStudio, I'm so glad you found us! A little consistent practice goes a long way. Keep up the good work! :) - Zelinda
I’ve always wanted to try yoga, but since I’m a big girl I’ve been too self conscious. I felt so comfortable & safe doing this in my own home with such a relaxed & professional teacher. I loved this lesson so much & I look forward to my next lesson soon. Thank you!
This was super neat. I'm both fat and disabled and I've always found actual irl yoga classes to be full of pressure and judgement. I've done a couple of your vids as an introduction, and while challenging it was very relaxing and I feel so much better mood-wise for moving. Glad I found this. Props to you both!
Thank you so much for the video! I am loving the relaxing nature of your technique. Please make more!
Returned to this when I was struggling to maintain daily practice so I went back to where I started and it was very well-worth doing so.
Thank you so much for this video. For the first time ever I felt like I could keep up and enjoy the practice. I wish you were in Australia but for now I have the videos. Thank you thank you thank you.
THANK YOU for creating a video that is sensitive and encouraging to those of us who have not always found joy in other yoga practices. This was (literally) a breath of fresh air. Since being diagnosed with Lyme disease, I have not only put on weight that has limited my mobility, but muscle and joint pain and fatigue have also made many types of previously easy physical movement seem more daunting than ever. This was the perfect pace for me and left me feeling the type of calm energy my friends all describe about their yoga practices that I had sadly not been experiencing. Thank you so much for crafting this sequence and your loving, non-demeaning or patronizing guidance!
@italianed, you are most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. We're working on more videos; please stay tuned! :)
Thank you for this. I felt capable and confident while following at home and let go of stress I didn't even realize I was carrying. It felt like this yoga was made for me. I was crying at the end from relief and feeling truly included.
This is true beginner yoga! Got hooked on your page from this video several months ago. I still do it from time to time. You are a blessing to this earth, Zelinda.
I really appreciated this! Best video I have watched so far. Just beginning to learn yoga and am larger and have discs in back that are pancaked on top of each other and arthritis throughout my body and these moves I am able to do as I have to strengthen my muscles before I can move on to a more strenuous workout. My physician suggested yoga and you should always consult with your physician before starting any exercise routine if you have health issues. I am NOT willing to become an opioid statistic. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I used to do yoga back in my college days and have really been missing it but I couldnt find a class that catered to getting me back into yoga shape. I'm so glad I found you! I moved onto your moderate video this week and this was a perfect intro to get me there. I love how you even I corporated some of the familiar moves from here into that video as well!
Nice she is amazing I love doing exercise hello how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family and you are all staying safe always over there🌹🌹
Excellent video. The instructions are so clear and slow. I have been doing it for a week and it has been really good. Thanks a lot.
I have a rib injury and I've been frustrated with even the beginner videos out there. Not because I am not a practicing yogi but because the simples movements can hurt as I heal. The gentleness of this practice allowed me to stretch and feel successful. Thank you!
Hi Jennifer! I'm glad you found our video helpful. An important philosophy of my teaching is the concept of ahimsa; the yoga practice should not cause even subtle harm. You're right to find a yoga practice that does not cause you pain while you're healing. If it's helpful, you can even choose to do some of these asanas with limited or no arm movement. Then as your injury heals you can start adding in more are movement. See what feels right for you. All the best, Zelinda
You both are so great, I really enjoyed following along with you!
Thank you for posting! I've been having some back issues of late and this is the perfect practice to get me moving better in the early morning - and moving better to do the exercises prescribed by my physiotherapist. This is exactly what I needed right now and is the motivation I currently need. Thanks again!
I just wanted to Shout you out and say a big HUGE Thank you. This video has helped me find some peace, and heal my achy knees and lower back!!! I'm so grateful! Namaste🙏🏾
Thank you thank you thank you for this. I am overweight and am limited in what I can do with exercise due to my weight and old injuries. I think this will help keep me active while not straining my joints.
Beautiful practice!!! Thank you! I cant wait to share this gentle yoga sequence to my dad, who is in a bigger body and has only exercised with weight lifting and typical "gym" stuff.
I've taken a lot of yoga classes in my life and one of my biggest problems is keeping my shoulders down. I've never had anyone suggest that my movements were too big. So helpful! Anyway I love this video and the teacher and wish I could attend her class!
Thank you for this video! This is exactly the kind of thing I need to get started. Thank you for creating such a welcoming, encouraging, open minded energy.
I’m glad I found this video - she is calming and very good. I did this and will try to do it daily or 3 times a week. You made yoga fun for me.
Thank you for this video.
I am small and petite, but am a senior who has never done Yoga. Every video I have tried has been too hard because I have arthritis in my wrists. This was very good! I will be doing this one regularly. Thank you!
Wow. Thank you SO MUCH for this. Both of you. I truly needed and have been looking for a video exactly like this. Ugh, you are a blessing! Thank you thank you thank you! ❤️
You are so gentle and make me feel so encouraged. Thank you
Thank you. I wasn't quite able to do the one lying down but the standing positions were wonderful. I'm going to work my way up to the lying down ones. My lower back is in rough shape.
Thank god for Zalinda! I went to a beginners yoga class and cried when it was over. It was horrible! Yoga shouldn’t be so intimating and competitive. I love Zalinda’s calm voice and pace. It felt so good to be able to do this at home without judgment. Thank you so much for sharing these videos for the true beginners!
I am SO happy to have stumbled across this!! I am new on my fitness journey and really want to get into yoga, but even "beginner" videos are super hard for me because my body is in its own way. I commented on another video just the other day about how I couldn't get into the first position because my belly was in the way and I wasn't sure how to modify. Thank you for this!! I can't wait to get going!
Hi Niki, I'm glad you found us! I'm currently doing a 21 Day Yoga Challenge (today was Day 6) that you might be interested in. Classes are offered live at 6:00 a.m. CST (GMT-5), and of course they're recorded (you can find them on our Livestreams playlist) so you can practice at another time if you prefer. In this Challenge I offer lots of options and variations so that people with all kinds of bodies can participate and benefit. :)
This is so wonderful. Thanks so much.
Thank you for this video. Because of my size, I feel very self-conscious about yoga, but struggle with back pain so wanted to start doing yoga to help. I enjoy your videos (I've done this one and the moderate one) and am excited to continue. Thank you.
Finally someone who can help a older heavy person, I love how you instruct while they are doing, so you don’t have to sit there and listen then work thru it. This is by far the best instruction of anyone doing beginner yoga. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos
Welcome Karin! I'm so happy you're here!
I've been trying a lot of beginner yoga videos, but many of them go right into balancing acts and just poses that I struggle with and fall from all the time. They say it's okay, just get back up and try again, but II began to feel like I was to chubby to do yoga. It was beginning to get really frustrating, but I'm really happy you made this video because it helped me get some confidence back by giving me a starting point and feeling accomplished when I could complete a pose and feel it successfully.
Nice she is amazing I love doing exercise hello how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family and you are all staying safe always over there
My first time trying this & it was completely doable. 🙏 thank you. Perfectly taught. I know nothing much about yoga, or the breathing. I am grateful. I have arthritis in my spine, disk degeneration, bulging, & an impingement in my neck & lower back. I was sad when it ended. It went by fast. Please keep these coming.
Good morning from New Hampshire! Just wanted to thank you for this video. After knee surgery and two years of sedentarianism (is that a word?), it's exactly what I need. Thank you for being respectful of women in bigger bodies!
Loved it! Just what I needed to get started after multiple surgeries and weight gain. Thank you for customizing your session to bigger bodies - it works for multiple types of recovery in its gentle approach.
Glad to hear it, Alison! We do try to teach in a way that that practice can work for lots of folks. Glad it worked for you! :) Zelinda
Thanks so much for this video! I needed an easier yoga start.
Love seeing exercise videos for people who are truly just starting out.
This was amazing. Just what my tired body needed after hiking. I especially appreciated the last part where we're laid down and just breathing.... Thank you so very much for sharing this. ALL bodies deserve to experience yoga!! ♥️
Thanks calliecat4! We're glad you enjoyed it! A hike sounds lovely right now! :) Zelinda
I feel so relaxed and satisfied after doing this practice - my second ever. Thank you for this and the other video in the playlists, and for putting stuff online! It makes it so much more accessible. Doing this at home has taken away the self-consciousness, fear and anxiety that comes with trying out a class (especially if it's likely I'd be the biggest body in the room). Very grateful :)
Hello amycdefg, you're most welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying my videos. Please know that all my videos are accessible to people with all kinds of bodies, so you can browse around and see what looks interesting to you. And don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. :)
I am so thankful that I found this video and this series. I have only explored two so far but they have been the best. I have wanted to try yoga for the longest time but every video I found (even those for bigger bodies) were too difficult. I have loved this video. I even just signed up for the series you have happening right now, although it looks like I missed a session. I’m so happy.
Hi Trisha! I look forward to meeting you! I think Cynthia helped you finding the recording from the first session. Email us if you have any questions!
I am so grateful for this! Many years ago (like 25 yrs.) I was very into yoga, pilates, and kickboxing. I also walked a few miles almost daily...but particularly yoga spoke to me in a special way. I went through a very difficult time (many losses) and then developed osteoarthritis in both knees, sciatica, and degenerative disc. I m now 60 and trying to gain flexability and strength and lose about 100lbs!
I wanted to get back into yoga more than anything! For me it was a total body, spirit and mind connection and I missed it. Looking around for a practice, I could find nothing that looked like it was made for someone like me.
You have given me back something so important to me! I can not thank you enough! I can achieve my goals if I have yoga and meditation supporting me!
Hi Kathy, welcome to my channel! I'm so happy to hear that my videos will be helpful to you. You might like to see my series about Yoga for Achy Knees (ua-cam.com/play/PLFr6eAcUWqfCQxbcUzYlOjafwlbxyBALQ.html). And this month I'm doing a new series about back pain where I discuss both sciatica and degenerative disc issues. Stay tuned to my UA-cam channel for that - the videos will post every other day. If you subscribe and click the notification bell you'll get a notification each time a video posts. And just in case it's helpful, here are some other ways that you can practice with me: www.rryogaroom.com/work-with-me. Please let me know if I can help in any way. I'm excited for you re-starting your yoga practice and look forward to hearing about your results. :)
Thank you for this. I decided my bigger body needed to really give yoga a fair shake this year. Ended up sobbing on the mat when I could even get on my knees from another company’s beginning video. Then I remember your video that I came across last year. Stopped the one I was doing and pivoted to this. SO approachable for a beginner. I look forward to doing this daily with you. You don’t know me, but you were there for me today when I needed you!
Hello! I'm so glad you remembered my video and looked for it! Please consider joining me for my 7 Day Beginners Yoga Livestream starting Monday, January 4.

Please let me know if you have any questions along the way! :)
my mom regularly does yoga and has been trying to get me into it, but it hasn't been working out because I worry a lot about not being able to do it well enough because it's not catered towards bigger bodies. i was comfortable doing this routine, but it also was challenging and I can see myself even using this as a de-stress method. thanks a lot Zelinda!
I know it's 3 years since this video was made but being overweight due to an immune disorder I've always struggled internally. Yoga was the only thing that ever made me feel less horrible about myself. Watching this video reminds me that even though I'm overweight I can still be flexible and feel good in my body. Thank you for making this.
You are so very welcome. Thank you for being here!
This is a wonderful resource. Thank you for sharing this with us! It is so helpful to see how a bigger body moves and looks in these poses and your delivery is so clear and calming. Can't wait to follow along with the rest of the videos in this series. My hips are already thanking me!
Thank you! I’m really blessed to have found your site as a gentle way to start back into exercise whilst managing a chronic health condition.
Nice she is amazing I love doing exercise hello how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family and you are all staying safe always over there🌹🌹
This is great! Thanks for this, im currently stuck at home self isolating and have been trying different beginners videos for days that just werent conducive to bigger bodies, this is perfect for me and gives me something to do after my morning coffee!!
I am in the same position. I have been looking for some way to get stretched, release tension and start my day off positively. This was amazing.
I need to tell you how wonderful it is to find this Video. I used to do yoga in my 20s but 34 years later 2 kids and 1 grandchild and 12 years on dialysis I have pain in every joint and trying totake up even what others call beginning gentle yoga I failed until I found this yesterday. Thank you so much. Starting today with this
I absolutely appreciate this. You explain the poses very well and it's easy to follow along with. Plus a lot easier for bigger people than some of the other videos I've watched. I appreciate you taking the time to make sure everyone can have a chance to do yoga at their pace and to match their body type.
Thank you for this. I did yoga in college and loved it but it hasn’t been something I can do in my new post-baby-40-year-old body until now. This was exactly what I needed and I’m so happy to have found you!
Thank you so much for doing this! I was too self conscious to do a class especially with my weight and range of motion limits. I was able to do this and it gave me the confidence to keep trying. Thank you so much!!
Working with Yoga 🧘♀️🧘♀️🧘♀️🧘♀️🧘♀️🧘♀️🧘♀️🧘♀️🧘♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️❤️is something we should look on right now,Yoga has impact more skills to so many at there,and they are dropping Massive testimonies.Greetings to Yoga and this involve your seriousness too🤝
Thank you so much for this video! I've always been drawn to yoga but get easily frustrated when my belly gets in the way of "beginner" poses in other classes. I found this practice accessible and a great way for me to start to my yoga journey without frustration. The poses were easy to follow, but I still felt challenged. Thanks again!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I always thought I couldn't do yoga. Now I realize I just didn't have the right teacher. I did this today and it actually felt really good and I was able to do everything. You are amazing and so is Denise!
I have never been able to do any other yoga I have tried in the past but I tried this video just now and I feel so good afterwards having been able to get through it. I used to live in North Austin and wish I had known about the Yoga Room at that time but so glad to have found your videos!
Nice she is amazing I love doing exercise hello how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family and you are all staying safe always over there🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much for creating this page for bigger bodies. I felt so good following along. I can't wait to watch the next video.

Thank you for this great video, and for representing bigger bodies in yoga. This has been very inspiring for me and I’m sure many other people as well. 💗
Thank you for posting! We need more of these videos!
I just did this for the first time and loved it! I’m currently in quarantine on my own in my basement and this will really help with stress and sleep. Thank you so much for your lovely classes, I am looking forward to keeping going with this and trying some of the others. Stay well, Namaste.
Love this channel!
Im a bigger girl and suffer from alot of chronic pain and hypermobility Syndrome and scoliosis in my spine.
This channel may just be the one i needed.
Thank you so much for this, this is the first yoga tutorial I’ve actually been able to follow completely. Most beginners videos have a far too fast pace and it makes it difficult to follow. This was wonderful!

Congratulations, I am an instructor and I have a 71-year-old student who is overweight and has knee problems, she is admirable, she does not stop and nothing stops her and she is going through a duel so nothing is impossible
These are my favorite students - the ones who have some issue or injury, yet they persist in their desire to practice yoga. I love to find creative ways for them to continue their practice without causing harm. Keep up your good work and please send your student my best regards. :) - Zelinda
Thank you ... so accepting and uplifting. Namaste.
I'm so glad to have found this video. I have a bigger body and I have some health issues that keep me from doing anything too strenuous. This was absolutely perfect and I will do this over and over again to help myself get stronger and breath more intentionally and hopefully move up to more moderate yoga practice. I appreciate you giving options for each movement and being calm and gentle. Amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Very relaxing! As a beginner at yoga at some point I found it harder to follow 'regular' yoga poses so it's nice to come back to some I know I can manage. The instructors voice is so calm and soothing, really helps you relax and feel calm ♡
