Yoga Series for Plus-Size Women
All classes are offered via Zoom - you can practice yoga from your living room! Each series is offered exclusively for plus-size women who are curious about exploring the ways that yoga can help them form a healthy, nourishing relationship with their bodies. Our Level 1 Series is for women who are new to yoga or desire a gentler practice, and our Level 2 Class is for women who have completed the first series or who are familiar with yoga and wish to continue developing their yoga practice. Our Glorious Glutes is our next offering, coming in 2024 - please contact Marcie if you'd like to know when registration opens. Healthier, Happier Hips focuses on, you guessed it, taking care of our hips, and will return!
Classes are offered several times a year and taught in the Viniyoga tradition, a gentle form of yoga that is adapted to the comfort and ability of each student.
NOTE: All participants will need to complete the Information Sheet and Waiver of Liability prior to their first class.
