Love Your Body: Yoga for “EVERY” Body

A yoga studio can be a tough place to enter if you are overweight. It can also seem at times to be a private club for the ultra-bendy- skinny-minis. In addition, there are many instructors who may not be aware or trained to teach those of us who have bodies that are carrying extra weight. That is why we, at Shakti Box, invite you to join our ongoing Love Your Body: Yoga for EVERY Body classes. We will incorporate movement, meditation, breathing techniques, and visualization that will help you in making better choices toward food and fitness. We understand that there are many of you guys and gals out there who avoid yoga because you may not feel that your body is “built for it.” You may even dread the thought of even attempting yoga and our teachers get that. In fact, one of the founders, Heather Funston, was there just three years ago. She weighed over 200 lbs and stood 5 ft tall. Through a gentle and gradual introduction of yoga in her life she became much more aware of her body and her thoughts. Yoga allowed her to shift her negative perceptions to positive self-acceptance. And with patience and continued focus on her breath, both on and off the mat, she fell in love with yoga as the weight fell off. She is now 16 sizes smaller and a registered yoga teacher. Join Heather and Nicole Ghastin, Yoga Alliance Registered Teachers, for Love Your Body: Yoga For EVERY Body at Shakti Box Monday evenings 6pm to 7:30 pm. Next 8 week session begins Monday, February 2nd.

“You don’t have to fit any size or type to do yoga, join us and we will fit the yoga to you.”
