As yoga teachers, we need to hold space for any student who may enter our class, no matter their shape or size, providing all bodies with equity of experience. However many plus sized people are not made to feel comfortable in yoga spaces because teachers do not have the ability or the experience to adapt for their bodies.
This workshop will break down the reasons why it is so important to make yoga classes size-inclusive, the culture which has led us to exclude people in bigger bodies and give us the tools to create inclusive and accepting spaces for all of our students.
What will it cover?
-An understanding and history of anti fat bias
-Discussions around diet culture and its impact on the wellness space, and how this impacts personal practice and how we teach
-Modifications for larger bodies
Who is it for?
-Yoga Teachers
-Yoga Teachers In Training
