9 Amazing Photos of People Getting In On The "Fat Yoga" Trend
We can't say we're surprised, either. While the term "Fat Yoga" may sound derogatory, it's quite the opposite. The Fat Yoga movement is all about helping people of all sizes learn to appreciate their bodies and discover their inner strength and physical abilities. While not every city has a studio that focuses in the practice, "fat" yogis across the globe have been connecting online using hashtags like #FatYoga and #YogaAtAnySize to motivate and learn from one another. Below are some of the most beautiful and inspiring images of people using these tags that we've come across so far. With the Fat Yoga trend gaining traction each day, we're sure there will be plenty more awe-inspiring images soon!
