Sounds like a great way to spend an evening.

I often wish I had more friends near my size. I think it'd be funny to get together with a bunch of other 400+lb guys and go to an AYCE place and see what the staff does.

I'll be your Hansel, Fae.

Congratulations

Ugh...blugh. I despise the Sun Salutations. They're just evil...


And don't worry about me not warming up/cooling down. Power Yoga: Mind and Body includes a warm up series and a cool down series at the beginning and end of each episode.

Also, it can be a little rough on the wrists and ankles. Long holds in Chair, and the Virabhadrasana poses are especially hard on my ankles. But it's not exactly painful, I think of it more as "feeling the burn" I guess. Either way it abates quickly after releasing out of the poses.

Also, there's really just "too much of me" in the way for me to effectively bind. I can't do vajrasana (not the proper sanskrit name for the pose I'm thinking of. In fact I can't find any evidence that the pose I'm thinking of even exists in real yoga... But from the images I found for vajrasana I can't do that one either) because I can't bend back far enough to grab my ankles (other poses are similarly off the table for that reason).

Then, I'd say, under these circumstances I'd go for it.

I've got yoga straps and blocks (I use them a lot). I've been doing yoga since...probably last fall or so.

If I could be assured of at least one dedicated care-giver (more than just an enabler, someone who would massage my rolls and clean me at least twice a day that is), and fairly solid health, I would be tempted.

I can do reasonably well with what I'm currently following so I'll probably stick with that. At least until I can afford to start buying DVDs.
