“I don’t even know where to start about my feelings on Carly’s Yoga for Bigger Bodies. The first word that comes to mind is acceptance. I do not feel judged, I do not think “I can’t” because I know I can. If I struggle with something, Carly is quick to help out with different ways to reach the position. This has challenged me in new ways, and given me a love for something I didn’t realize I would love so much. I initially wanted to try yoga because so many people I know love it. But like many other people, I felt intimidated going to a yoga class. I don’t fit the typical mold of those women you see walking down the street with their mats. When I found out about yoga for bigger bodies, I signed up and I haven’t regretted that decision once. It gave me the confidence to go into a “regular” class. I know I can do it. I may do things slightly different from someone else, but I know I am doing something for myself. If you are thinking maybe you should try it, you absolutely should. There is no reason to hesitate, no reason to wonder if you will fit it. You will. Toss your insecurities aside and do something that your body will love you for.” ~ Heather
