Accessible Yoga with Lisa

A note from Lisa, Breathe Ojai teacher:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
❝ My name is Lisa and I teach the Yoga for Larger Bodies class at the studio. I think the main reason I wanted to offer this class is because representation matters. I am a fat yoga teacher and I can't tell you how many times I've had new students walk into my class for the first time and visibly relax when they see me. Breathe Ojai is working hard to make everyone feel welcome and included in every class on the schedule, but sadly, many yoga studios do not, and by having a class called Yoga for Larger Bodies, it is my hope that potential students who would be uncomfortable joining a "regular" class will be encouraged to try yoga here with the knowledge that the size and shape of their body will not be a limiting factor in the class. Practicing in a larger body can offer some unique challenges and, unfortunately, most yoga teacher training programs do not cover variations and modifications for larger bodies.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It is my fervent hope that some day, all yoga teachers will be comfortable and capable to teach any student who walks into their class, regardless of their size, age, ability, or fitness level. In the meantime, I'm so grateful to Francesca and the other teachers at Breathe Ojai who are working to create a space where all feel welcome. If you have more questions or would like to see the Yoga for Larger Bodies class in person, I'd be happy to have you join us for a class.❞​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
