‘Curvy Girl Yoga’ for the fuller figure has been created by yoga expert Charlie Merton and launched on Yoogaia on April 17th. Yoogaia.com launched in Finland in 2013 and has a huge following there, attracting funding for international expansion due to the huge number of registered users. Annual and monthly subscriptions are available from only £15.00 per month. As well as live, real time classes, it has a huge selection of pre-recorded classes covering a whole range of Yoga, Pilates and Barre Tone workouts so you can now train whenever and wherever via your tablet/laptop/mobile phone.
Because of its gentle action, yoga can be a safe way for someone with diabetes to exercise without necessarily inducing a low blood sugar as a result. And it’s not just about weight-loss. Merton says, “For long enough, some women have been made to feel inferior and inflexible in the yoga world. I can prove that you don’t have to be thin to be flexible and strong – we believe fit is more important than thin and this class will help to spread this positive message.”
