yogazoneplus.com: plus-size yoga in toronto

I attended my first ever yoga class last night with my sister, and it was ah-mazing!! We attended a trial class by the newly formed YogaZonePLUS for only $10. The class is led by two fantastic ladies (and total superstars): Suzanne and Mary.

love this picture I snapped of Suzanne pre-class.

After Class! Left to Right: Suzanne, Me and Mary.

Suzanne suffered a personal injury a few years ago, and while doctors perscribed pills she found yoga. After leaving a local yoga class feeling like a misfit, she thought up YogaZonePLUS, a place where women like herself could practice in a judgement-free zone. Genius I tell ya!

I've always wanted to try yoga, but have been too intimidated to attempt a class, so when I was introduced to YogaZonePLUS I really couldn't help myself, especially when there was no commitment with the $10 trial class. It's a small class of 9 (max.) and a full-on intro to yoga for beginners like myself. They taught us how to incorporate the strap, the block (if needed) and described the names of each of the poses as we progressed, personally adjusting each student as required. I loved every moment! So much so that I didn't get any shots of the actual class going down (sorry!), but here is an after shot of all the awesome people I got to meet.

YogaZonePLUS runs an 8-week beginners workshop starting in April, and the spots are filling up fast! You can register for the workshop or for the trial class online at yogazoneplus.com. Oh, and did I mention?! this isn't a class geared towards weight loss, this is a feel-good, all-zen kinda class. The best kind if you ask me.

Hope to see some of you there! I'm hooked.

xxo, dee
