hi anon

i haven't read the rest of the replies yet, but i do yoga. i also lift weights. and i go to classes and the gym. in both places, there are all ages and all body types, as well as all levels of experience. i've been in classes with 300-pound people. we are all there to either lift weights or to learn yoga, and we're busy concentrating on our breathing, holding our poses, correct form, the number of sets we've done, or a meditative mantra. nobody is paying any mind to anything else, really.

i understand where you're coming from, tho. i know i don't have to tell you how fat people are judged and shamed, and they're damned if they do go to the gym (ugh fat ppl at the gym how dare they!), and they're damned if they don't (ugh why don't fat ppl go to the gym already!). i'm sorry that happens, but please let me assure you how very, very rare it actually is in a real gym or class setting where people are concentrating on improving themselves (and when i say 'improving themselves' i'm not talking about weight loss, i'm talking about making yourself healthier, stronger, and mentally healthier [the reason i got into yoga and weight training was b/c i suffered from depression, and it has helped me immensely]).

in short, sorry this is so wordy but please do go to a yoga class. if you're anxious about it, i know of literally no teacher who would be bothered if you let them know about that in advance. yoga is a healing thing, and it can work for you too. the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, as they say, and for you that step is showing up to class. go for it!
