There's this nice rail trail fairly close to my home. I went over there today and went for a long walk. Will walk longer next, which will be soon. Good Exercise and seems more Organic than the gym and less body image focused than Yoga.

Yoga is not body imaged focused Ryan. Not at all. It's actually about non judging. If you had an instructor that was all about body image you were in the wrong class. If you perceived it to be all about body image, that's your percetion. Not saying you have to do yoga, like yoga, or anything of the sort. But it is not body image driven.
Yes many fit people do yoga, but that doesn't mean that they weren't unfit when they started. When I started my journey I was 210 lbs and a size 16...I didn't put on 'yoga' clothes to practice...just what was comfy...because I was embarrassed...then I realized no one there was 'checking me out or judging me' and it really was easier to do yoga in a yoga top...so I started wearing them. I'm down a bit of weight and am much more toned then I was before. But I have never looked at someone in a class and thought a negative thought about their body.
But yes Ryan walking is way more natural for you
and you should do what makes your body feel good!
Sorry for my long ass post.
I'm proud of both of you for the healthy choices you're making
