This style of yoga offers an affirming space for people of all shapes and sizes. This doesn’t mean the class is easy but it is gentle and accessible including the use of props to
modify and support different body needs where helpful, so that you can benefit from your yoga practice. Curvy Yoga is for people who thought yoga was never for them. Equally it is for yogi’s that would like to explore their body in relation to their practice in a different way. Curvy Yoga is for the body you have today and helps strike a balance between effort and ease. Come and try it and see for yourself! |

I get it, I've yoga-d my way through various different body shapes and sizes. It's a continual journey of change, finding acceptance in new places and being with the resistance you find on the way. I'd love to help support you on your journey of body acceptance wherever you are at today on your yoga mat. - Lindsey

What is my relationship with yoga
– in terms of practice and teaching? “Keeping me real” that’s my yoga summed up in 3 words. Yoga is my companion. My dynamic practice during the years I worked hard and played hard in the banking world helped me to download and balance. My gentle, restorative practice during pregnancy and early motherhood helped to restore inner harmony. Now, in my 40s my teaching practice encourages deeper self-exploration and inspires me to share and support others. Being able to offer yoga in a real and accessible way is hugely satisfying. My journey continues! |

HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT ABOUT THE CURVY YOGA WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE:
"I thought it was great! I love that we can talk about our wobbly bits and limits freely without care Felt very comfortable and I was able to work through certain positions much easier with your tips. Xx" "Interesting to find adaptations to poses that make them them more accessible for curvy folk like me " "a really enjoyable class" |

It was exciting to bring and share Curvy Yoga to the Yoga Festival in February 2016 :-)
'True yoga is not about the shape of your body, it's about the shape of your life'
