Through this transformation the rest will follow suit as you wish and anything is possible. We call it Big A#%!™ yoga so that everyone knows they are coming to a place where they can laugh and be comfortable with who they are. Any other name just wouldn't be as fun! Who should come to Big A#%!™ Yoga? Anyone who feels they are out of shape, plus size and simply just wants to be a yoga class with those who are in the same boat. There is no weight requirement - but please be aware that these classes are meant for those who are plus size or close to it.
