Drawing on the philosophy and history of the body positivity movement, Donna Noble presents a radical re-examination of teaching inclusive yoga classes by breaking down stereotypes and demystifying yoga. By sharing accessible tools for everything from marketing a body-positive class to setting the scene in the space, using appropriate language and considering consent and touch, Noble demonstrates why every body is a yoga body - no matter what shape or size. With guidance on modifying poses for larger bodies, as well as chair-based sequences, this resource helps yoga teachers to ensure that the benefits of yoga are available to everyone. With practical tips, as well as information on social justice and body-positive yoga off the mat, Teaching Body Positive Yoga is a well-rounded resource that gives yoga teachers the confidence to host inclusive and welcoming classes for all.
Donna Noble is a Yoga Alliance and British Wheel of Yoga-certified yoga teacher and founder of Curvesome Yoga, an organisation offering body positive yoga and self-acceptance classes for all ethnicities, genders, body shapes, sizes and abilities. She was one of the original co-creators of the UK's first Black wellbeing and fitness festival. Donna is also a writer and her articles have been featured in OM Yoga Magazine, Elephant Journal, Draze, Thrive Global, HuffPost, Stylist Magazine, Happiful Magazine, The Guardian, and Metro Online. She lives in London, UK.
