Workshops

Curvtastic Standing Poses | In this workshop we’ll explore standing poses designed for curvy bodies.  This workshop is especially helpful for people who struggle to get up and down from the floor.  We will also explore curvy balancing poses.

Brick House | Avoid death-by-boob-smush and try out these backbends created especially for people with bigger breasts and bellies. Duration: 75 minutes (class) or 3 hours (in-depth workshop)

TWB | Let’s twist!  This workshop teaches strategies for TWB (twisting with belly).

Curvalicious | Treat yourself to this restorative workshop–with modifications for curvy comfort; you will float out the door afterwards!

Strategies for Teaching Curvy Yoga Students | More and more fat people are starting to practice yoga, but teachers often receive little training on modifications for their bodies.  In this workshop, teachers will learn common modifications for curvy bodies and strategize how to create a welcoming environment for people of a variety of shapes and sizes.  (Yoga teachers only)

Sun Salutations for Curvy Students | Sun salutations are staples of many yoga classes.  However, they can also be challenging – if not impossible – for curvy people.  In this workshop we will learn modifications for Sun Salutations A & B.  Participants will also leave with alternative Curvy Salutations utilizing props.  (Yoga instructors only)
