All I want to know is HOW that yoga instructor's top stays on, from the back it looks like there's NOTHING to it, especially for a woman her size.

Sorry to be rude, but HTF she's a yoga instructor is beyond me. There is no physically possible way she could contort that bulk into many of even the more basic positions. This ad completely strains credibility to the bursting point in trying to be 'inclusive' of diverse body types. |

Oh you would be surprised.

I do yoga. I wouldn't be that surprised. I'm not rail-thin myself by any means, but more advanced positions would be beyond the model used in that ad, and yes, there are several basic positions it would be highly difficult to impossible for her to assume. I'm nowhere near her weight, but trust me, I carry enough extra padding that they're difficult for me still, even after having been in classes for several years. An instructor that size simply wouldn't cut it in any yoga class that went beyond the least challenging positions. That may sound 'size-ist', but it's the truth. |

www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQBcxIbsumQSupposedly Jessamyn Stanley who stars in this ad is an actual yoga instructor. I'm told there are videos of her performing more complex yoga postures, so I may have to eat my words...but I'm still skeptical. |

She's doing essential bends and stretches and appears to be attempting a couple of the more basic postures (asanas), and some of her dexterity is impressive. But it is basic, and I strongly doubt she could manage any of these (some of which are not 'insanely' hard, but are definitely not easy):
www.doyouyoga.com/10-insane-yoga-poses-you-wish-you-could-strike/Frankly, if she were capable of assuming even something on the level of the hackneyed lotus position, I'd be rather more apt to think she was a genuinely fully qualified instructor than what that video leads me to believe. She probably teaches elementary-level classes--many of these 'soccer-mom' yoga centers are pretty much that--but I still doubt she's performing anything more advanced. Good on her that she does that well, I'm sure it's a lot more than most people of her size profile would even think of trying to do. |

I cant do yoga because my feet are all arches. I have no balance so maybe she has less of an arch on her foot.
