Today we are going to introduce valeriesagun, a 31 year old yoga teacher from California who has studied Yoga for five years.
Although he is plump, he is soft and flexible, and Valerie is very confident.
He never mind being called “soft fat”, and encourages those who are not in good shape to bravely contact yoga.
She said that although she was fat, it did not affect her pursuit of favorite things.
She hoped that her experience would encourage some people with low self-esteem to do well as long as they wanted to do it.
She said: Yoga told me that every body should be loved and respected.
You deserve to be loved.
After practicing yoga, she began to share her yoga practice on instagram, and then wrote biggalyoga, because she hopes everyone, regardless of their size or shape, can have this feeling.
The following order is about self love.
She said: I bring these poses together because they can open the chest, increase the blood flow to the brain, and let you use your core strength to enhance confidence, eliminate negative emotions and reduce stress.
