Body type is such an important consideration re exercise! Teresa Tapp is the only instructor I know of who addresses it in her workouts. In her Basic Workout, for example, she says something like, "Short torsos will only be able to bend down this far, because bone will touch bone." I wish yoga instructors were equally anatomy-conscious.

If I really engage and work to the end of my limits, I can work up a sweat with some of the more intense workouts. I do walk just about every day and do Ellen Barrett occasionally for variety.

marya, I think it's like anything else--some are great at this, but others, unfortunately, not so much. Have you ever tried Viniyoga? It's a school of yoga designed to be therapeutic and adapt to the individual. Some teachers known for this style are Gary Krafstow (unfortunately his DVDs were a bit boring) and Leslie Kaminoff. There is also a YouTube channel, Yoga with Olga, that offers some wonderful practices and information: https://www.youtube.com/user/sequencewizvideo

Classical stretch and Essentrics are programs that use moves to increase strength and flexibility simultaneously. That's where the soreness comes in
Love these so much that I am taking the Level one instructor training (hoping to mail in my materials within two to three weeks - only 4 more apprentice classes to go!) |

marya, sounds like viniyoga might click with you if you find the right instructor!
