Yoga standing poses only

  • Does anyone know a book or video that has standing yoga poses only? I'm very large and have a huge umbilical hernia from my C-section a year ago. I need to try to lose weight and I want to get my joints feeling better so I though Yoga would be great. But all the stuff I see on TV is lots of floor work. I also can't do anything that strains my abdomen. Any suggestions?
  • I'm not sure about the standing poses only. But you might want to try Ellen Barrett's Fat Burning Fusion dvd. It's a Yoga/Pilates fusion. Except for a tiny segment toward the end, it's all standing. It looks easy, but you will get your heart rate up and get a good workout. I find it very restorative. I get all my dvds from Collage Video, so you can find it there. I also have her Yogini workout, but there is more floor work in that one.
  • How about Chair Yoga?

    Or this is good, its called Yoga for the rest of us. If I'm not mistaken, many of the exercises are done from a chair.

    I'd say for the most part, yoga and pilates both work your abdomen/core. You might also want to look into just a regular stretching DVD so that it is less yoga and more about stretching.
