I have pulmonary fibrosis and a few cross over autoimmune disorders and I have just started a yoga class. i was wondering what type of yoga would be the best for me, I get short of breath easily. i am in a beginner class right now and sometimes find it very difficult especially any pose that has me bent over.
I also had trouble with the warrior pose in the last class when I had my arms extended I got lightheaded and had to stop....any suggestions

Warrior (I, II &III) are difficult poses and you can always go deeper in to them to keep strengthening. If anyone tells you they are easy, they have just found the basic pose and are taking it easy from there, but the point is the journey of improving. I would not be discouraged. Keeping the arms extended is difficult, but it trains the body to be able to hold it longer.
The types vary depending on your location. I do not know the diffwerent names, but they can all be great with the right instructor(s). Some are just workout classes and that is fine for many people. The classes I go to are workouts, but also very contemplative and compassionate. I feel very fortunate that they have these classes here in Tampa. I think there main training is from www.kripalu.org.
