Not being able to ride stinks!!!

I have one part on one of my tapes where you sit on the floor with your knees crossed and you have to sit up straight to do work on you triceps and it is very hard for me to sit up straight with legs crossed like that. I think it is because my weight makes me very unbalanced or something.
I end up having to do it with my legs straight out in front of me.

My husband cannot either, but he is not overweight, he just is not flexible. Yoga almost kills him. He continues to work at it and he has gotten better, but he simply is not flexible. Fortunatley, I am. 18 years of ballet taught me flexablity. Long story short, adapt the stretches for you. You should not be in pain when you are doing any move. I have seen some very large people do amaxing things in Pilates and Yoga. A lot has to do with flexability and if you are naturally not flexible, it will take time. Hang in there.

I have Yoga for Inflexible People that I do once in a while. It's great because it adapts the program for folks like me, but you need a lot of props like a chair, strap, towels, etc. It can be quite challenging to me to hold some of the poses.
