greetings and salutations

Hello. I am new here, and I figured I'd take a moment to introduce myself.

I am paul. I'm a father, a husband, a radio dj, a musician and a writer for a jazz magazine in Chicago.

I used to be an avid practitioner of yoga, but, over the last 10 years, I've gained weight, gotten married, had a child, and the idea of trying to do stuff that's good for me had slipped by the wayside. Now, I'm trying to do yoga again, but am realizing that yoga was not built for guys who are rather, well, ummm, girthy.

So, I figured I'd try to find a place where I could find like minded folks who could help me in my journey.

And now I'm here.

Hi Jazzypaul. welcome to the forum. Before we could help you with your journey it would be helpfull to know where you want to go.
Yoga is designed for transformation. It also very well can help you loose a lot of weight too, literally and figurative speaking, but that is not what it is designed for.
Very good you started to do the good things for yourself again.
Wishing you a very nice journey to your Self
sending you Love and Light
Louise
