Vrikasana
The Tree Pose

Except for the advanced half-lotus version of this asana, wherein thigh fat would interfere with placement of the raised leg, this asana is usually no more problematic for fat people than for thin, unless the fat person is very out of shape.

Sometimes, though, a fat person has less of a sense of his/her own balance than a thinner person, so it may take a little while to find it. Watch for swayback among those who weight is primarily in the tummy.
