… at ease having an instructor who meets us where we are and builds from there based on individual needs. Try classes that offer one on one, if you need to build up confidence before joining a group. I almost forget I am “plus size” and I should mention I have lost 13 pounds in 3 months since starting the class.”

“Let’s face it; if I had a dime for every time I said I’d like to try ____ but I’m too fat-I’d be wealthier! What finally got me was when I realized that this is the body I have now-not the one I had last year, or the one I’ll have in two years, but right now this is it. If I can’t work with this, I’ll never get started. So don’t beat yourself up if you have to move your thigh to accomodate your belly-you’ll get a better pose if you do. And forgive yourself for not being able to reach around the back and grab your thigh-you get the same results with a strap. Leave pride at home and just ask yourself what’s the best that I can do RIGHT NOW. Incidentally, I can reach around and grab my thigh now, but it’s taken me a dozen years to do it. Patience, grasshopper!”
