I'm Kimberly! I'm from Bristol, TN/VA (remember the Geicko commercials?). I am beginning to create more ritual around my yoga practice which is easier now that I have this resource. I am in recovery from an eating disorder and have gained a great deal of weight (I never weigh but I have gone up 7 clothing sizes) and being in a fat body has caused many challenges including movement and because Dianne has created yoga that is accessible, I am able to create a practice where I feel empowered again! This is also supporting my belly dance practice (Goddess Life with Kimberly). I joined this program because I don't have this resource in my area. Only one yoga studio in my area and they don't offer accessible practices...well not where I feel welcomed/comfortable. I'm happy to be a part of this community, this family! THANK YOU!

Thank you! So grateful you are finding this helpful. Grateful to have you in our community

Hi everyone! I'm Lotte from Australia! I grew up around yoga, as I was pretty small when my mum was doing a yoga teacher training (and she'd had a consistent practice for years before), but I didn't really get into it myself properly until I was about 13 and was informed that I would need to do some form of exercise because my life was too sedentary so I went to yoga classes locally once a week. I was sort of in-and-out throughout university, but have in the last few months committed to daily or almost-daily practice for myself. I'm really passionate about accessible yoga though, and really want to spend time in yoga environments where accessibility for everyone is prioritised, I love yoga and want everyone to feel like it can be for them, and I LOVE that your whole platform prioritises that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart <3

Welcome to the family! So glad you joined us

Hi everyone, my name is Annie, I am a New Zealander living in San Diego, California. I am a mother, sister, daughter, womxn recovering from diet culture and Nurse Manager. I am returning to Yoga after a LONG absence. I sustained a shoulder injury following a fall over 2 years ago and have not found it comfortable to do traditional yoga. I have heard you Dianne on my favorite podcast - Food Psych and though then, that is a yoga teacher I can relate to! Thanks for having me here! Looking forward to slowly re-introducing my body to yoga.
