Have you been curious about yoga, but hesitated to try it because you don’t think you have a “yoga body”? Would you like to gain more strength and flexibility in a way that works for your body right now, just as it is?

Curvy Yoga was created to help you cultivate a yoga practice that is body affirming and meets you where you are.

People in large, stiff, or inflexible bodies, as well as brand new beginners, can benefit from this gentle practice. We move at a slower pace, using options and props to make each pose work for each body.

We connect with our breath. We learn to appreciate our bodies just a little bit more. All bodies welcome and respected.

When: Sundays for six weeks beginning July 23 (July 23, 30 and August 6, 13, 20, 27) from 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm.

Where: Karen Barker Yoga Studio, 8631 Seminole Trail, Ruckersville VA 22968

Cost: $66.00 for the six-week session

Register: You may sign up online here. Space is limited to 6.

What to bring: a water bottle, and comfortable clothing that allows for movement. There are yoga mats, props, and accessories available, but you are welcome to bring your own mat if you have one and prefer to use it.

Chair Yoga
Chair Yoga is a great movement practice for anyone who cannot stand or who has difficulty standing for long periods of time, for those who have difficulty getting up/down from the floor, and for anyone who is looking for gentle movement and breath awareness.

I recently offered a free Chair Yoga class on Facebook Live. If you'd like to view the archived video and practice along, you may find it here: Facebook Live Chair Yoga Class.

Feel free to let me know what you think! This was my first live class and i was nervous! But, i learned a lot, enjoyed it, and hope to offer more online classes in the future.
