Vented LARGE size bike helmets for cycling enthusiastsAsk for The Kinghead Pro, which features our Half Nelson Fit System, tri-glide adjusters for a snug secure fit, and 10 generous vents. This might fit you very well, however some people have noticed the chin strap being a bit short. We suggest you talk to the manufacturer, Bell Helmets 800-341-5834 and tell them large people need a longer chin strap. Every callhelps. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING |

Join the Yoga for Big Bodies Blog to support your yoga practice. Yoga is for every body.Blog founder writes: This is a community about Yoga for Big Bodies. One can do yoga at any size and any level. There are moves and exercises that we can do that will enrich our lives and strengthen our bodies. We may not look like the crazy pretzel-shaped yoga models you see in the magazines, but there is no difference between them and us when in comes to the way Yoga benefits you. It is all good. It is all a help. Everyone's bones line up differently. I have seen large people do moves thin ones can't and vice versa. We are about Yoga, not looking any particular way, but feeling a certain way - getting the stretch, opening up, and focusing on our own breath. |
