Yoga is for Every Body

Size should not matter when it comes to feeling good. Yoga is for Every Body. All ages, colors, shapes and sizes are accepted here! There are no specific body type requirements, just willing to drop all judgement of yourself and others and come to your yoga mat. Abundant bodies are capable of a large number of things, and it’s important not to make assumptions about what someone can or cannot do while on the mat.

Yoga asana, the physical practice of postures, is challenging and rewarding. Sadly, for many generously bodied practitioners, class practice can also be an intimidating and exclusionary experience. This feeling of exclusion can mirror how some feel within society. Lean, ripped physiques remain the standard that media bombards us with and the body type men and women prefer in their male partners. Body shaming stems from the beauty, diet, and fitness industry, which is invested in convincing us that we are not good enough the way we are, and that we must change our bodies in order to be acceptable to others.
