One of the things I love about Curvy Yoga is that it shows up in people’s lives in so many different ways. For some, it’s a personal journey into loving their bodies. For others, it’s the beginning steps of trying yoga for the first time. And for others still, it’s feeling the spark of desire to share yoga with curvy folks in their area.

Private Sessions

I practiced yoga in group classes for years, and I really loved it. I knew some people worked privately with teachers, but I always kind of dismissed it as not for me.

That is, until I tried it. Wow; the level of transformation is so much different in a private session. In my experience, I was able to learn so much more both about what poses worked for me and why but also my deeper connection with yoga.

I’d love to explore this process with you. I offer in-person sessions in Nashville and Skype sessions for everyone else. Click here to learn more.

Mentoring

One of the biggest challenges of being a yoga teacher can be standing out among the crowd. You are probably a wonderful teacher, but without a way to communicate your unique offerings, it can be hard to get studios, gyms, etc. to give you a chance.

Several years ago, I began what felt like a hobby to share with a handful of people — Curvy Yoga. Since then, I have built this niche into the most recognizable name in size accepting yoga worldwide. For me, this has been as much (or more) an internal process of really learning how to share both my deepest self and my passion as it has been learning about marketing, SEO and other business-related aspects.

If you are a yoga teacher who is looking to develop your own unique approach to yoga, I would be delighted to help you navigate that process. To learn more about what that might look like for you, please click here.

Certification

One of the questions I get asked most frequently is “Do you know a curvy yoga teacher in my area?” And unfortunately, most of the time I have to say no.

I believe my life’s work is to spread a message of body acceptance through yoga around the world. People are really wanting this opportunity, and I think one of the best ways I can make it available is by training teachers to create safe, welcoming and informed spaces for students of all shapes and sizes to try yoga.

After much reflection, I’ve decided not to offer this via the more traditional routes of traveling weekend workshops or online trainings. The reason is that I think it’s a process to teach this kind of yoga because it really asks you to be very present to your own experience.

So I’m offering something new: a three month process that will help you find your own voice as a Curvy Yoga teacher, learn relevant pose modifications and sequencing and develop all of your associated marketing. Certified teachers will be given use of the Curvy Yoga trademark, opening up the opportunity to start “Curvy Yoga Your City Name Here” wherever you are.
