Big Body Yoga at Pink Lotus
Led
by yoga instructor and Thai Yoga Massage practitioner Julie
Brown--herself a large body--this workshop will show students yoga’s
many wonderful facets: postures, breathing, meditation, and deep
relaxation, all in a welcoming and physically and emotionally safe
atmosphere. Students gain experience using yoga props (blankets, blocks,
bolsters, straps, and chairs) and also learn from Julie how to adjust
their bodies without props for maximum postural benefit.
Practice Reaching Our Perfect Selves
(PROPS for short) is yoga designed for people who benefit from the use
of props when they practice. Big Body Yoga is open to persons carrying extra body weight and as such is similar to other ‘plus-size’ exercise activities.
Pink
Lotus Yoga maintains that yoga is created for all bodies despite what
the media or a cursory look at the yoga ‘scene’ reveals. We also
maintain that commonly used yoga props help all
practitioners--regardless of construction, constitution, and level of
yoga expertise--create healthy, maintainable yoga postures and thus a
deeper, more meaningful practice. When we align our bodies with props,
we make space in our bodies for breath and spirit, the realm of our
perfect selves. In addition, when our bodies are aligned, we benefit greatly: Among its many proven benefits, yoga lowers blood pressure,
cleanses the body of toxins, improves breathing, and brings emotional
and mental balance.
Every body, as is,
is capable of yoga. Let PROPS to You prove that. Contact our studio at
