Meet Curvy Yoga^®

Have you always wanted to try yoga but never thought it was for you? Or are you looking for a yoga practice that not only helps you feel good in your body, but also about your body?

Curvy Yoga was born out of yeses to those questions, so if you were nodding your head along or think you might someday, welcome! You’re in the right place. And I hope you’ll join us! Our newsletter is the very best place to get started because it’s where we share our most up-to-date information (we’re not currently active on social media).

Curvy Yoga Practice

What I’ve learned over the years is that yoga and body acceptance come together through practice. Together, they create an experience we call Curvy Yoga Practice — a highly individualized process for you to bring both yoga and body acceptance into your life in regular, doable ways.

Yoga has its ooohhhh and aaahhh moments with some of its poses, and that can definitely be fun. But the deeper power of the practice comes from how it asks you to be in an ongoing, evolving conversation with your body on a regular basis (and in the meantime feel less stressed and improve mobility!).

Curvy Yoga Practice starts on your yoga mat because yoga isn’t part of a “fix yourself” paradigm but rather a “know yourself” paradigm. And then it journeys with you off your yoga mat because the same is true of body acceptance. While you may experience fleeting moments of epiphany or joyous love for your body, the day-to-day experience of body acceptance is much quieter than that — and ultimately more powerful because it becomes part of your everyday life.

And that’s what we’re about here at Curvy Yoga — actual life, where things rarely go as planned, sometimes you skip your yoga practice, and other times you’re judgmental about your body.

I’m here to tell you that none of those things are failures.

They’re called being human — because life is ebb and flow.

Both yoga and body acceptance are about making space for your body to speak. And what I’ve found through my own practice (that totally shocked me!) is that the more space I make to meet myself and my body where they are in the moment, the easier and more joyful it becomes to take care of myself in lasting, sustainable ways.

Because neither yoga nor body acceptance are end goals in and of themselves.

They’re vehicles to living your life.
