Neticami, ko spēj dūšīga jogas speciāliste (71)

Valērija Sagāna ir 27 gadus veca jogas fanāte no Sanfrancisko. Viņa nodarbojas ar Big Gal Jogu. Valērija guvusi lielu popularitāti, sociālajos tīklos ievietojot foto un video no savām jogas nodarbībā.

Nav nekā neparasta, ja cilvēks pievērsies jogai, bet Valērijas gadījumā neparasts ir fakts, ka viņa ir ar lielu lieko svaru, sieviete valkā 22 izmēra apģērbu, bet, neskatoties uz to, ir ļoti lokana un izveicīga, izpildot jogas pozas.

Pati Valērija saka, ka izplatot foto no savām jogas nodarbībām, viņa vēlas iedrošināt cilvēkus uzticēties tādiem, kuri neizskatās kā viņi paši. «Es esmu tikpat lokana, (jogā) spēju to pašu, ko ļoti tievas meitenes!» saka Valērija.

 

Glad to be back home from my trip in Portland and Montana. Though I will be traveling to NYC real quick and heading back. Lots of travel time ✈ Words can't describe how much love I have for you guys! Sometimes I don't feel like I'm fully immersed into the community enough, but I still care about all of you! I'm excited that there are such generous people out there to help me out with my yoga teacher training journey! I also think that I want to take @amber_karnes and @diannebondyyoga's body positive course as well. Even though i'm a bigger bodied person and understand how bigger bodies work, it would be great to learn from some experienced amazing body positive yoga teachers! Also loving my new rad sea creature leggings from @personalrecordofficial ! Glad that her shop has finally launched and she's having great business! Leggings by @personalrecordofficial ?

Sept 5th - Day 27 of the #FlexinASweat Yoga Wheel challenge with @gypsetcity and @biggalyoga Sponsors: @breakin_a_sweat @fractal.9 @laviebohemeyoga Happy that I actually got up on the wheel without holding onto anything! All that slacklining has helped me with my balancing! Wish I could have gotten my leg fully straight, but it was still slightly terrifying balancing on the wheel. ?

Oh, hello all you new followers! ? A lot of people have been asking where you can start your own yoga practice. If you go to my website (www.biggalyoga.com direct link in description) under the FAQ there is a link called 'Getting Into Yoga' where I have made a blog post for anyone wanting some tips on how to start. This is the only way I have started so those are the only tips for now that I can offer. I'll update it soon and look for more videos and recommendations. Some have asked as well if I have a Youtube with videos. Yes I do have a YouTube, but no I don't have videos to practice. Since I am not yoga teacher trained I don't feel comfortable yet setting up videos for people to practice yet. Next year I will definitely start to work with videos there. As for Yoga Teacher Training, I'm looking up places to do my training. If there are any yogis who are yoga teacher trained, and have any recommendations on places to get certified, I would love to know! There was a place in Arizona, that I was thinking of, but I'd love to know more that I can't find on the internet! Comment here for details or email me at biggalyoga@gmail.com with details. Hopefully trainings that will start the beginning of next year, from 2 weeks - 3 months time frame. Trying to get trained soon so I can start teaching! Thank you all again for the heart warming comments, and touching words! ❤?❤

Repetition of the same thought or physical action develops into a habit which, repeated frequently enough, becomes an automatic reflex. - Norman Vincent Peale ------------------------------------------------------------ I've finally been able to hold my crow pose for a little bit. I just need to find more strength in my arms and core to stay up longer. It's funny how you can practice a pose and fail so hard at it, and then all of a sudden things just click and you find the right groove and tricks of the pose. I didn't understand the lift part of pose till recently, and it all made sense when practicing. Also, I think one thing I'll definitely miss about not having this space to practice yoga is that I can't wear my undies around freely for the time being. Haha ?!

Aug 11th - Day 2 of the #FlexinASweat Yoga Wheel challenge with @gypsetcity and @biggalyoga Sponsors: @breakin_a_sweat @fractal.9 @laviebohemeyoga Felt like practicing scorpion instead of the wheel for today's pose. Using the wheel actually feels way better than using a block! The yoga wheel has more of a weight than the block, which has helped keep my hands from lifting up and not balancing on my elbows. I felt more of a balancing using it as well because my head resting against the wheel helped stabilize me like in headstand. Going to be fun practicing with it more! And yes #FuckFatPhobia! I'll show my ass off as much I want ?
