Yoga in Every Shape and Size

Yoga is for everyone, as each practice is individualistic: yours and yours alone. You can tailor it any way you want. Body positivity is the name of the game! During your practice, your mindfulness, movement and joy create a space for you to work with your body, not against it. Yoga is not about solving the problem of your body, because your body is not a problem. It is about mindful movement to honor your unique form.

Here are some confident and wonderful yogis that make body positivity the center of their practice!
