Most online yoga classes weren’t designed with fat practitioners in mind — even when teachers genuinely want to be inclusive.
This audit helps bridge that gap.
I review your online yoga class through a plus-size accessibility lens, focusing on real, practical barriers fat students experience: language, cueing, transitions, camera framing, pacing, props, and emotional safety.
This is not about perfection. It’s about making your classes more welcoming, usable, and comfortable for larger bodies.
Who This Is For
This audit is a good fit if you:
Teach online yoga classes (live or prerecorded)
Want to be genuinely inclusive of fat practitioners
Suspect your classes might unintentionally exclude larger bodies
Are open to learning without shame or defensiveness
Many skilled teachers simply haven’t been taught size-aware accessibility. This is not a personal failure, it’s a gap in your teacher training.
What This Audit Is (and Isn’t)
This audit is:
Thoughtful, specific, and grounded in lived experience
Focused on access, not weight loss
Practical — you’ll know exactly what to change and why
Respectful of your teaching style and voice
This audit is not:
A judgment of you as a teacher
A generic checklist
A demand to overhaul everything
What I Review
Each audit uses a multi-page evaluation form and looks at:
Language & cueing
Body-neutral, non-shaming cues
How options and modifications are framed
Movement & pose accessibility
Space for bellies, thighs, chests, and arms
Transitions and floor-to-standing options
Props & setup
Whether props are offered proactively and clearly
Visual accessibility
Camera framing and demonstrations
Pacing & nervous system support
Time to set up, rest, and self-regulate
Emotional & social safety
Tone, normalization of struggle, and inclusion
Overall experience
Whether fat students are treated as expected participants, not exceptions
You’ll receive clear notes, specific examples, and prioritized recommendations — not vague suggestions.
