<p>Too fat for yoga? Too inflexible to attempt an asana? A plus-sized woman shows you how to master the mat</p>


If you happen to be at Bandra’s Bajaj Park or Union Park, and spot a sprightly young woman comfortably gliding from one yoga position into another, feel free to join her or request a few tips. Thirty-three-year-old Dolly Singh, a content manager for a leading youth channel through the week and a successful home chef dishing out Bihari delicacies over the weekend, weighed over 90 kgs when she first started yoga. “I grew up in a family where no one called me fat. I was happy and confident. About four years ago, I sprained my leg and the doctor told me that this would happen often if I didn’t lose weight. My legs weren’t able to take the weight of my body. That’s when I decided to shed the excess,” shares Singh. “I went to the gym, got a personal trainer and then finally tried yoga. Today, it is a regular practice, almost like brushing my teeth,” she adds.
