Does your body look like the ‘yoga body’ portrayed in popular media? No? Me neither. Curvy Yoga meets us where we are today, in the body we have today. You’ll learn how to adapt poses to fit your body, instead of forcing your body into an uncomfortable position.

Yoga is more than the postures and poses, it’s tuning into your body and understanding what your body needs today. During the eight weeks, we will explore pranayama (breath awareness), meditation, as well as yoga asana (poses). Many different versions of the poses will be presented, allowing you to find what works best for you. Yoga props will be used to assist in finding your favorite version of a pose.

Who this class series for:

• Anyone that has ever thought about trying yoga, then immediately thought "I can't do yoga, I'm too __________" fill-in the blank. Thoughts like I'm too tall, fat, short, long legged, short torso, etc. etc. Trust me, I've had the same thoughts.
• Anyone that never, ever thought to step foot into a yoga studio. Same, when I decided to try yoga, going to a 'studio' was too intimidating. Even today, going to a new-to-me studio is a bit nerve racking since I don't look like a 'typical' yoga practioner,
• You've heard that yoga is good for you, and never took any steps to give it a try. Or your friends have been telling you and telling you to try yoga,

This series is for everyone! Every body type, every age, every ability. Everyone is welcome. No prior yoga experience required, bring an open mind to discover the yoga you didn’t know you needed.

Who this class series is NOT for:

• Anyone looking for a hot yoga class. You might sweat during class, it won't be from the room temperature.
• Anyone looking for a fast moving flow (vinyasa style) class, We'll do some yoga flows, at our own pace.
• Anyone looking for an exercise class.
