This is a class I have been looking forward to bringing you for a long time: Yoga for bigger bodies! One of the many downfalls in the Yoga/wellness industry we really need to do better on is making all bodies feel more welcome to this practice. While this practice is very old, and really is intended for all, many of the "alignment" rules were created for one type of body: thin men. The boom of Yoga in the West, and frankly white-washing the practice, continued to reduce the richness of this practice to having the body look a certain way in every pose. My hope with this practice, is to give some helpful modifications and tips to make the poses work for you if you are in a bigger body - rather than forcing your body into a shape that doesn't feel supportive or expansive. It isn't really a flow class, but more of a breakdown of a variety of the major poses we encounter in Yoga Asana practice. I have my dear friend Elena demonstrating poses with me, and kindly sharing her experience of the poses along the way. You will want two blocks and a strap for class, and maybe a blanket for the knees.
