Thumbnail image for Curvy Voices Has Arrived!

When I began practicing yoga, I didn’t have a community. I primarily practiced on my own at home. And when I did venture out to class, I tried not to make much eye contact with people. I didn’t want to see the judgment I assumed would be in their eyes when they saw my curvy [...]
