What does body positivity and body acceptance mean? How does body positivity take back the word "fat?" And how can we use yoga as tools for self-actualization and personal wellness?

Join Rachel Estapa, creator of More to Love Yoga®, for a hybrid event where we will learn and explore the vocabulary behind the body positivity and body acceptance movements and talk about why "fat" is not a negative word. We will follow the More to Love Yoga® philosphy and conclude with a body inclusive yoga session.

This program is geared toward ages 10-15 and their caregivers. If you have any questions, please contact rdgchild@noblenet.org
