It’s always made a clicking sound when I walk, but these days it tends to “pop” or “twist”, even without doing any kind of strenuous activity or sudden movement. Joint issues are something that I am slowly becoming aware of. The best part is that this hybrid form of yoga is non-stressing on the joints. His yoga combines yoga with calisthenics, breathing exercises, rehab techniques and resistance exercises. After 12 years of research and development, Diamond Dallas came up with his own hybrid form of yoga. His wife recommended that he give yoga a try – and he loved it! However he didn’t think that the yoga had enough intensity needed to make it a full body workout. After an injury the doctors told him that his career was over. Who is Diamond Dallas you might ask? Diamond Dallas is a former World Champion Wrestler. I was introduced to a yoga program called DDP Yoga. I’m not Gumby! I can’t bend that way – or can I? I’m lucky if I can bend my legs up to tie my shoes (while sitting down) let alone perform some of the yoga positions I have seen. Little by little she’s learning more about it.Īs a plus size woman I never thought I could enjoy the benefits of yoga either. He’s still not a “skinny Minnie”, but he’s super flexible and it’s really helped him when it comes to playing volleyball. It’s helped him to lose weight and get in shape. It sounds horrible, but my friend Dennis swears by it. It’s yoga you do under hot and humid conditions – another words you are sweating like crazy as you are doing your yoga. Everyone I know is into yoga – including men! In fact my good friend Dennis is a fan of something called “hot yoga”.
