For years I wanted to go to a Yoga class. Yesterday I attended my first class! I was able to hang for the whole class. So I was beyond thrilled! Afterwards my sister and I walked on the treadmill for a couple miles and spent some time on the stepper too. We finished up with a healthy fruit Protein smoothie from the gym's bar to celebrate! Can't wait to try Zumba and Pilates!!! Loving this sleeved life! Blessings!

Surgery - 05/15/2013

Down - 63 lbs

I love yoga!

Sent from my BNTV600 using VST

I started taking yoga classes a couple of weeks ago. I LOVE it though I am still trying to figure it out

I just read that my local recreation center will begin offering Yoga soon. I am like THE most unflexible person with two left feet..so I am a bit afraid to try. But I do remember a time in my life when I could do backbends and backwalkovers..so I would love to get back to that point

Love my yoga!

I am going back Tuesday. Was challenging and made me sweat, which surprised me. But it relaxed me too which was wonderful. Definitely adding this tool to my arsenal.

How soon after being sleeved did you guys start yoga, there's a nice studio in my area running a special $39 for 10 classes. That's a steal, I'm a few says shy of being 1 month post op, what do you guys think? Wait or start now?

I wanna do yoga soo bad, but need some of my belly to go away first so I can bend right lol

I've sone yoga off and on, regardless of weight or "belly." I say that to encourage you to not wait--just do it!

I say go for it if it is ok with your doctor. It is go at your pace. If you can't do the poses, then you have rest positions. Try it. Let me know how it goes!

im 2 days away from surgery, I tried yoga on a program on our smart TV for the first time last week. (im 16 lbs down since starting the pre-op diet & was feeling accomplised!) Ive always wanted to try yoga but im not that flexible & steady! I tried it & liked it. I want to try again post op & compare it to preop, to see how far Ive come. I can't wait. Ive looked into the DDP Yoga, which is supposed to be for anyone...I dont think I'd want to go to a studio for a long while yet.....good job fellow yoga girls!

Hope your surgery goes well. I like the yoga and am really getting into it. Let me know how it goes.

Girl - I SO wish you lived in Columbia so that we could go do Yoga together. I used to go all the time and absolutely loved it till health wouldn't allow it. Now I'm ready to go back but have no one to go with.....I know...I know....get off my hiney and go by myself!! BUT it would be so much more fun with someone like you to hang out with!

Hey all, I love yoga as well. I found a yoga student that is a couple months shy of receiving her license and she needed to practice and she has been great. It's like have personal yoga trainer. We have been taking advantage of the nice weather in in VA so we hold classes in the park and it is wonderful.

Wish I could find a personal trainer type that was not expensive. My yoga class is included with my gym membership. So that is great.
