It can be tough to be a bigger bodied yogi! Some yoga teachers don't know how to accommodate for thighs that touch or a belly that seems to always be in the way. This can leave bigger bodied people feeling like they don't belong in a yoga class, which is totally not true!
In this 9-class series, we will use props and other options specifically designed for your body, so that poses feel accessible and you can begin to explore the practice of yoga. Focusing on elements of controlled movements and the cultivation of mindful strength, you can expect practices that wake you up without leaving you feeling worn out, left out, unable, or embarrassed. It's about caring for your body today and beginning a sustainable healthy practice from right where you are.
You deserve it!
Here's what other people are saying about Yoga for Bigger Bodied People:
"I don’t even know where to start about my feelings on Carly’s Yoga for Bigger Bodied People. The first word that comes to mind is acceptance. I do not feel judged, I do not think “I can’t” because I know I can. If I struggle with something, Carly is quick to help out with different ways to reach the position. This has challenged me in new ways, and given me a love for something I didn’t realize I would love so much. I initially wanted to try yoga because so many people I know love it. But like many other people, I felt intimidated going to a yoga class. I don’t fit the typical mold of those women you see walking down the street with their mats. When I found out about yoga for bigger bodies, I signed up and I haven’t regretted that decision once. It gave me the confidence to go into a “regular” class. I know I can do it. I may do things slightly different from someone else, but I know I am doing something for myself. If you are thinking maybe you should try it, you absolutely should. There is no reason to hesitate, no reason to wonder if you will fit it. You will. Toss your insecurities aside and do something that your body will love you for."
"I fell in love tonight. I didn't realize it was lacking, nor did I realize how good it would feel! It comes from a place of pride, of gratitude and total acceptance. It comes after years of criticism, doubt, harsh words and yes, even loathing. No judgement. No desire. No fear. I fell IN LOVE tonight. With myself. Tonight, was the last class of my first ever Yoga for Bigger Bodied People series and - surrounded by likeminded souls, stretching myself into Bridge Pose, in a way I never believed my body would move so easily - it happened. Without thought, pressure or any warning. I was so overcome, my breath actually caught in my throat. For the first time in 36 years, I truly, deeply, honestly - love myself. I could go on and on about Life Yoga, Carly, the people, the energy and the acceptance, but it all comes back to that. I've grown so much in the past few weeks it's outstanding and I know it all centres back to what's happening on the mat!"
This 9-class series will take place once a week on Tuesdays from 7-8 p.m. starting on April 30, 2019. There will be no class on Tuesday May 28, 2019.
