Size Inclusive Teaching Practices

As yoga teachers, we need to hold space for any student who may enter our class, no matter their shape or size, providing all bodies with equity of experience. However many plus sized people are not made to feel comfortable in yoga spaces because teachers do not have the ability or the experience to adapt for their bodies.

This workshop will break down the reasons why it is so important to make yoga classes size-inclusive, the culture which has led us to exclude people in bigger bodies and give us the tools to create inclusive and accepting spaces for all of out students

Join us on May 9th @ 2.30pm-5pm UK time, includes recording of the workshop to keep forever!

This workshop will be held on Zoom

-An understanding and history of anti fat bias

-Discussions around diet culture and its impact on the wellness space, and how this impacts personal practice and how we teach

-Modifications for larger bodies

This workshop is for yoga teachers, teachers in training and anyone interested in making movement more inclusive.

This training will include practice, please wear clothes you can move in, bring a notebook and a bottle of water.

"Lucy is a fantastic teacher, she has a wonderful way of making complex and triggering subjects really accessible. She creates an open and non judgemental atmosphere in her workshops and managed to cover so much I’m excited to do more workshops with her in the future!"

Training Participants

Lucy is a 680hr yoga teacher specialising in inclusive practices who has been teaching yoga since 2015. She loves working with students of all shapes and sizes, ages and abilities. Her aim is to help her students feel empowered in a fun and inclusive space open to all.

Being a teacher in a larger body she has experienced first hand just how intimidating and exclusive yoga spaces can be. And with her experiences and the experiences of over 150 participants from a survey she conducted in 2021, Lucy created this training to try to combat diet culture and weight stigma within the yoga community. She has taught internationally on teacher tranings on size inclsuive practices.

Often, we are not aware of our biases until we take the time to interrogate them. Lucy holds a kind andcurious space for us to discuss, interrogate and build practices that are inclusive to all body sizes.
