Big Yoga explains the Big Idea

Big Yoga explains the Big Idea

I waited for months for this book, and it was worth the wait. As a large-bodied yoga instructor who teaches people of all abilities, I find BIG Yoga an invaluable resource. I have recommended it to Chair Yoga and large-bodied students,

and will be recommending it to the yoga teachers who attend the "Yoga for Larger Bodies" workshop I facilitate. Simple instructions, props and helpful suggestions make the practice of yoga accessible to everyone from beginners to advanced students, and do-it-home practitioners. Thank you Meera for your part in making yoga accessible to everyone.

Big Yoga is an excellent read for a beginner to Yoga, also excellent for why a big person would even consider yoga. Meera is very honest and straight-forward in talking about some of the hesitations plus-size people have.

We must bring our "before" body to the mat and be comfortable with this as our starting point,having no fixed view or opinion on what the "after" will be. It is only this present moment that counts and can be lived.

This book brought me to have the courage to enter my first yoga class (gentle yoga for all bodies, mine being one of the larger ones). This book keeps me going with much practice between class.

In Meera's book, the history and philosophy and background of yoga is thoughtfully summarized in the beginning of the book. This was important to me. I have been on other paths which has brought me to the spirituality of yoga before I came to the mat of yoga.
