My plus size yoga diary
“We are what we repeatedly do.”
―
As a plus size woman I have always assumed that doing yoga was an impossible task. Over the years, I can remember standing in yoga rooms with slim women and being overwhelmed with a feeling that I did not belong. It was only during lockdown, that I decided to reassess my false assumptions. Lockdown was a time to experiment. It was a time to explore online exercise classes and new ways of connecting. It was a time to re-evaluate my attitude towards yoga. After weeks of searching, I found a wonderful and supportive online yoga community. This marked a new period of my life. There were some days when I attempted more poses than others. There were some days when I did nothing but the meditation and breathing techniques. There were some days when I never turned my camera on at all.
What was important for me, was that I doing 90 minutes of yoga every day.
My world was changing, and so was I.
I look forward to sharing more about my plus size yoga journey.
