Virabhadrasana
The Warrior Pose

Fat people generally make excellent warriors! This asana requires strength, but extra fat doesn’t get in the way of anything here. The extra weight does make an already challenging pose a bit more challenging, but that will be a problem only if the fat student has no prior physical conditioning.

Watch for swayback in those who weight is primarily in the tummy.
