How To Start Yoga Now Even If You Are A Curvy Girl Or Never Heard About It If you want to start practicing yoga, but you are a beginner curvy girl or you are overweight, here's some good news: Nobody cares if you're a beginner, a curvy woman, fat woman, or anything other than one thing. HOW YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF. So the "trick" is to start yoga right now ...and then begin by acquiring your self-confidence until you restore the trust in yourself and your body. (Never chases excuses or tell yourself lies about your body and why you can't because of it!) I discovered this when I was a teenager, then I decided to give yoga and teaching a try FULL TIME. So I started yoga AT HOME using some "old school" poses --- many of which have been 'lost to the ages' --- but ones that I was positive would still work today... I was astonished at how well these poses worked out for my body ...without being a yoga teacher, having tons of class hours, loads of huge efforts or spending any money! And sure enough - within 90 days, my body was following my calls and respond to my efforts - all because I mastered all yoga poses... That's right...I MASTERED ALL YOGA POSES. Then I started teaching these poses and strategies to all my students ...and I soon found out that it worked just as well for them! So I put all those systems and poses down and turned them into an easy-to-read book that will teach you to do the Same. Dang. Thing. In fact, you can use the same system to teach also yoga to other wanting your help... Of course, I've also used the same system to stay healthy all the time, and the best part of all: I feel physically fit as well emotionally. But don't just take my word for it ...my students are now practicing yoga every single day in their life, and they teach it to their kids, spouses, friends and family. And it's all in this 90-page book you can read by noon and start using them the same afternoon. But there's more to this little book than "just" yoga. Here's just a fraction of what you're getting... * Benefits of Yoga Practice. Part of the Benefits of Yoga is to contribute to the mental health of each individual: improve concentration and focus, create positive habits, contribute to the detachment of toxic emotions (depression, anxiety) ...Page 9 * Knowing your Body. The human body is totally diverse in height, diameter, contours, curves, weight and volume. Many times, the excuses for not exercising come from physical conditions ...Page 15 * Acceptance and Fluidity in Movements. The acceptance of who we are and the tools we have to develop the practice is fundamental to advance in the flow of movement and body expression ...Page 17 * Steps to Start a Yoga Practice. The first step to begin to experience the wonderful benefits of yoga is to have the desire for transformation and reach states of calm and control ...Page 19 * Breathing Exercises. Normally in the first yoga classes attention is directed to how we breathe in order to ensure the practice correctly and awaken the physical consciousness of each individual, developing the control of body and mind ...Page 22 * Meditation and Introspection. Meditation is a personal experience that induces the individual to inquire into their interior, recognizing the noise of the mind, thoughts and sensations ...Page 26 * Yoga Poses for Beginners ...Page 30 * Yoga Poses to Warm and Tone the Body ...Page 38 And that's really just the tip of the iceberg... This book is only 90 pages but it is PACKED with valuable content on every single page. Order your copy now, here! Can't wait to see how well it works for you too! Best,Dalal

Gentle yoga appeals to people of all ages who enjoy a yoga style that is peaceful, comfortable and easy to keep up with. In gentle yoga each pose will look different for each person because of the diversity of health, body shapes and sizes. This book encourages you to adjust the poses to their most accessible form based on your body type, limitations, flexibility and strength. In some cases, if you are battling serious health concerns such as cancer or chronic disease a gentle practice is the place to begin. Students with pain, disabilities and special conditions have unique concerns and I attempt to speak to them in this book. Especially when we add chairs and yoga props, the practice becomes accessible to many more people. From a place of comfort, these gentle poses can be practiced at many levels for new challenges. This style of yoga promotes all the conditions needed to assist in learning and practicing mindfulness and deeper meditation. When you find the most comfortable shape of a pose you can finally relax. When the body relaxes, the mind can relax, stress melts away and from here, meditation is more likely.
