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 RU-vid 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!
Oh my gosh thank you . I have been overweight since 2019. I haven’t worked out much never knowing how to do stretching and other exercises. 27 year old with severe back pain here
I’ve never done yoga before and I’m recovering from severe Covid so cannot do any cardio. This video was recommended to me on the Second Nature app and I really enjoyed it and can feel the benefit, thank you.
This was SO great - not only the postures, the lovely demonstrator but the sound of your gentle voice. Thank you so much for posting and making me enabled by doing poses I can manage, Kind regards Liana (Australia)
Hey! Ciao from Italy. Thank you for this video. I thought that as a plus size I couldn't practice yoga or anything like that. It's my second week of practice with this video. I feel more calm, more aware of my body that I'm beggining to accept. Thank youuu again
Zelinda‼️‼️‼️ You are amazing. I have been struggling for years wanting to get into yoga. You made this so easy with your modifications. I can't wait to try your 7 and 21 day challenges. ❤
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.
Hi Susan B and Obiwancolenobi! Yes, for March I've done a series of short videos on Yoga for Achy Knees. You can find them all here in a playlist. There are two videos left in the series and they will post today and tomorrow. ru-vid.com/group/PLFr6eAcUWqfCQxbcUzYlOjafwlbxyBALQ Please let me know if you have more questions! :)
Your videos are an excellent starting point! (And you seem to have a catalogue to keep me busy for quite a while) Thanks to you both, I've always wanted to do Yoga.

Lovely video, very calming and nice to know that this is also yoga :) way more excessable then some of the contortionist stuff it can be in my head ♡♡♡
I just absolutely love your videos! They make me feel comfortable in my body, and make me so much more aware of my movements. I really appreciate you ladies doing this, it’s making a difference in my life!

@@yogawithzelinda you are more than welcome to use my comment and my name! I have been enjoying your videos so much and they really are helping me feel better physically and mentally!
I think the forward fold was a little easier for me tonight! My hamstrings were super tight on the stretches though. That's what happens when you take some time off for the holiday 😁
Hello Mary Ellen, you're most welcome! You might also enjoy my 7 Day Beginner Challenge. You can find the videos here: www.rryogaroom.com/youtube-practice-calendar
I struggled a little bit with the leg stretches since i don't have a second chair, I'll need to try it on the floor next time I do it. Other then THat I really feel it, especially in my neck, tysm for making this video.

Hi Cynthia, you're most welcome! :) Have you see my other Bigger Bodies videos? You can find them here - ru-vid.com/group/PLFr6eAcUWqfDoysc6gtxbFGUKRnq64DZA
I have a question. Are there any stationary bike videos for overweight beginners that you know of? This is exactly what I was looking for. Many " beginner" videos are still for fit people. As an overweight girl I still struggle with those. Anything that is made for people like me, similar to yours?
Thank you! I have arthritis in my knees and was looking for yoga exercises that I could do. And this one was just perfect! Do you have something for stretching the back? I spend a lot of time sitting at the desk and I desperately need it.
I tried but I couldn't follow the breathing.... it was too long between inhale and exhale for me, where I couldn't follow the breathing it kept knocking me off rhythm with the moves.
I'm a bit late to this video, but I was wondering if there's any advice for the forward fold as I'm not sure what to do with my knees! Naturally they lock back and then I lose my balance a bit. Any tips?
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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2wl7b0n6KYs.html
Hi, I have health anxiety, and issues with lower back. I thought this would be a good way to start. Anything specific you could recommend where I start. Done this one and the strength one for bigger bodies. Thanks
