3 plus size jogini, aki bebizonyítja, hogy a jóga nem testalkat kérdése – fotók

 Ennél jobb motivációt keresve sem találnánk, hogy belevágjunk a jógába – vagy bármilyen más mozgásba. Ha eddig esetleg a nem hibátlan alakod tartott vissza az edzéstől, csodáld meg ennek a három hölgynek a fotóit! Ők nem azért álltak a jógamatracra, hogy a tökéletes bikinitestre gyúrjanak, hanem hogy egészségesebbek, hajlékonyabbak és boldogabbak legyenek. Ők már tudják, hogy a jóga nem csak a fogyásban, hanem önmagunk elfogadásában is segít. 

1. Dana Falsetti többéves fogyás, hízás, depresszió és kényszerevés után kezdett jógázni. Így talált önbizalomra és belső békére.

Wasn't sure I would ever be able to get my leg behind my head until one day, I did. Then I didn't think I'd ever be able to keep it there on its own, and yesterday I did. Why are we always so sure when the truth is we mostly know nothing? I believe doubt, ego, and fear convince us otherwise. Here's what I know: we are limitless, all bodies are capable, and excuses won't lead us to our highest selves. ???? @brookemichellej

My beliefs have shifted. I don't believe in time or limits. I do believe in endless possibilities, I do believe we are all capable of more than we'll ever realize. When I don't believe in myself, I have discipline to keep me strong. And that's why I love to prove myself wrong. I've been doing it for the last year or so, and I will continue until I truly believe I know nothing. ???? @brookemichellej

 2. Jessamyn Stanley neve jól ismert a jógázók körében, ugyanis híres instruktor, aki tanítványait is a pozitív testképre és az elfogadásra biztatja.

I know I'm not the only one who has experienced the frustration of fixating on a particular pose. Poses like #forearmstand, #headstand, and #hanumanasana have been, at one point or another, a place of complete obsession for me. However, there's a fine line between complete immersion and absolute insanity. That's the current status of my #pinchamayurasana practice, btw- I noticed it was turning me into a crazy person and so I've backed away entirely. Crazy comes for all of us, even when we're on the eight limbed path. Actually, there's plenty of evidence to suggest it comes ESPECIALLY when we're on the eight limbed path, but I digress. Anyway, to avoid that same cycle happening with my #visvamatrasana practice, I'm incorporating more “fun” movements in my practice. It's SO FUCKING FUN- but not very dignified. Mostly it's me rolling around on my mat- my dear friend and fellow asana addict @alliemullin caught a few moments of my childish antics the other day while I tried out my new outfit from @rainbeaucurves. I like @rainbeaucurves because they make plus size athletic wear that's trendy and fun, but also AFFORDABLE- I mean, some of my favorite yoga pieces are dope as fuck but very expensive and that's just not a reality for everyone. I mean, I wore hand me down @tjmaxx leggings paired with sale bras from Wal-Mart for ages. My first official yoga top was a @lululemon bargain bin find that STILL COST UPWARDS OF $40. I mean, we all pay for the luxury of athletic apparel, but price shouldn't have to come between cool people and fun leggings. I tried out @Rainbeaucurves new zip-front bra called 'The Lucy', but I was sad that the zipper kept sliding down while I was practicing- there are a bunch of shots where my breasts are a sneeze away from being completely exposed. I'd definitely recommend wearing this bra as a layering piece with other sports bras or tops. Honestly, it's high time that thick chicks start trending the layered sports bra look. But I'm just saying, if you rock this bra solo at your group yoga class, prepare to flash everyone in the room. Top + Leggings- @rainbeaucurves Photo by @alliemullin

When I look at this #headstand during the @mandukayoga clothing line jump off a few weeks back, all I can think is how grateful I am for my chubby back boobs. And how happy I am to have (FINALLY) made peace with my giant ass. I mean, I'm sure @mandukayoga didn't necessarily expect someone with so many fat rolls to get upside down in their sports bra. But the bra is cute and I'll wear it if I feel like it. I don't give a fuck if my belly and back rolls are starring in the photo as a result. Because, regardless of lighting and clothing choices, those body parts are still present. And if I can't accept them when my body is upside down practicing yoga, how the hell will I accept them in other parts of my life? Plus, let's be honest: those are probably the elements that actually make me #madeforyoga, anyway. Strength ain't free, y'all. Top+Bottom- @mandukayoga Photo by @peterruprecht

 3. Brittany Danielle-t nem az érdekli, milyen az alakja, hanem hogy mire képes a teste. És erre elképesztően büszke.

I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls with clean blood and organized drawers. I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests at night when no one else is alive or awake however you choose to see it and I live in my own flames sometimes burning too bright and too wild to make things last or handle myself or anyone else and so I run. run run run far and wide until my bones ache and lungs split and it feels good. Hear that people? It feels good because I am the slave and ruler of my own body and I wish to do with it exactly as I please- “She will set your world on fire, if you are brave enough to let her.” ???????????? #practiceandalliscoming #thickfit #yogalove #yogahigh #yogapose #yogaeverydamnday #commitment #yogainspiration #selflove #loveyourbody #strength #strongwomen #followyourdreams #positivevibes #igdaily #igyoga #instagood #instamood #lifesajourney #honormycurves #effyourbeautystandards #plussizefitness #plusmodelmag #liveactively #confidence #bodypositive #yogainheels #MyCurvesCan #celebratemysize #healthycurves

Whatever you are physically…male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy–all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.
