Jessamyn Stanley: The Plus Size Yogi

Yoga is hard: It doesn’t only consist of light stretching and Shavasana for an hour. Some poses take a lot of power and skills that most people (even strong men) can’t do. For Jessamyn Stanley, a 30 something North Carolina native, yoga is part of her everyday life. She has more than 300 thousand followers on Instagram and more than 120 thousand likes on Facebook. So, what makes her so different than other famous yoga instructors?

She is a ‘fat femme’ (as she calls herself) or a ‘plus size’ yoga instructor. Learn more about this amazing yogi who’s changed the meaning of what it takes to be a yoga instructor.

She suggests you practice at home if you don’t feel comfortable


When she started her blog and Instagram page, Jessamyn would get messages from people asking her if people judged her when she took yoga classes. She answered yes, and she said they would probably judge them too. Practicing at home is cost-effective and you can concentrate on your practice and not what people think of you.
