As someone returning to yoga and exercise for the first time in many years, I appreciate the attitude all instructors have about trusting your body instead of doing what others do. They encourage modifications to make yoga more accessible. The space is clean and lovely, I only wish it didn’t get crowded by the studio door with the layout of blocks and straps in between the women’s room and the studio.
I’d love to see a class or workshop designed for bigger bodies. I appreciate being able to modify movements but if instructors offered modifications specifically for big bodies instead of lack of flexibility I might get more out of classes. For instance, using a strap to hook around your foot and your head while lying down is a deep flow class mainstay but the straps aren’t long enough to accommodate big bodies and I had to find and buy one myself to be able to benefit from this exercise.
Overall, I’m having a great time and building up to more challenging classes.
