Practicing yoga while being overweight

I've recently joined a gym with the intention of starting to work on my physical and mental health. It's been going great, I've been lifting and dancing a lot and go to a yoga class every sunday. Point is, I'm obese and due to a lack of muscle strength I find many asanas to be terribly difficult. Because of this I was wondering if there's anything I can do to make things a little easier. Would also love to hear about different experiences with yoga while being plus size! Please do not advise me to lose weight or strengthen my muscles, as I'm already working on that like there's no tomorrow 😉

Any restorative yoga practices besides yin yoga?

I do yin yoga regularly and practice the poses at home regularly, but wonder whether there are other forms of yoga that help turn inward and relax the muscles and restore the body from work and streinous exercise? Anyone has any recs? Maybe something that can be done by yourself at home also?

Yoga and Tea

Hey Reddit Yoga Community! I'm a long-time tea drinker, and a yoga "newbie"! I started yoga last summer and started going religiously since then. I've loved how meditative it can be while also stretching and strengthening it can be for your body! Now one of my favorite things to do is to have a little mindful gong-fu tea session either before or after I do some yoga and I was wondering if any of you do something similar, whether it be with tea or something else!

Numbness in both hands/fingers after hot yoga?

how can i stretch for upper back/neck pain?

i have extreme neck/upper back pain. sometimes cracking it helps, but usually my neck hurts too much to move or crack (at least in the part that hurts), and my upper back almost never cracks. it doesn’t really bend either, which is weird because the rest of my back is really flexible. sometimes i have my boyfriend walk on my back and that helps a little. sometimes looking down and pulling my neck forward helps a little. but it hurts a lot, all the time, and idk what i can do. advice?
