Yoga for Curvy Bodies

Dates: Sunday January 22, 29 & February 12, 19 at 10:30am (no class on 2/5)

Fee for 4-class series: $75

Teacher: Fran Balster

Fran - a plus sized, compassionate, non judgemental yoga instructor who believes that practicing yoga and introspection can bring real change, growth, and healing in a person's life.  Understanding how physical limitations can hold people back, and how mental struggles can reinforce those opinions. I'm here to help!

Yoga is a practice open to all. However, when most people think of yoga in our culture, they imagine a slim, flexible, able-bodied person doing difficult poses. In order to make students who are not slim, flexible, or able-bodied comfortable in our Yoga for Larger Bodies  with Fran Balster classes, we need to know what specific challenges they face. Making

our classes inclusive with language and knowledge of how to reach all populations is essential for teaching yoga to all people. I hope to help all students and teachers in this workshop to cue for and modify as needed for students in larger bodies.

I am beyond grateful for each and every one of you for coming to this workshop with an open mind, and allowing me to

share one of my biggest passions with you. Inclusivity is so very important in all we do, and I am committed to making

the yoga space more open and accessible to marginalized and minority communities. Expanding our practices

and language as yoga teachers is a first step to sharing this wonderful practice for everyone in every body.
