Finally I found someone who looks like me! To really help me start my yoga journey. Thank you!!! Jasmine 💛💛💛
Exactly I specifically looked for PLUS size women
Yes! Seeing Jessamyn on the mat was mindblowing because I am used to seeing a different body type and her modifications were everything!
Is much better if u start to lose weight before: be fat is not healthy
Definitely! I’m so burnt out trying to do these poses based on what I see completely different shaped women do.
@@mirkomalavasi8414 have you ever been fat? I've been skinny and fat and honestly I feel the healthiest of them all when I'm overweight and not stressed out about it. Also, mind your business
I'm a trauma, mental illness, and eating disorder survivor. I've been exhausted all the time, struggling to get out of bed, and your videos always help me so much, Jessamyn. I live in a fat body and rarely get to see people my size doing things like this, rarely get to hear people talking about "picking my belly up and moving it places" in a positive way. This was so judgment free, so fat friendly, you're very thorough on modifications we can do. I feel at peace and energized after doing yoga with you. I went through another trauma a few weeks ago and haven't practiced since, I usually do your 8 minute yoga flow, but stumbled across this and decided to try it. I'm so glad, because this is basically the 8 minute video with the flow into poses in a different order, with a few more poses at the end.
I am in Wilmington North Carolina and even though it's a hike out to Durham, I WILL drive out to do at least one of your classes after COVID is over. You inspired me to do yoga, and it has made so many difference in how I view my body and in how I cope with eating disorder urges. Thank you.
This is such a beautiful comment. I felt so much compassion for you when reading this and it made me realize that I should be more compassionate with myself as well. Thank you for loving on yourself and sharing this love. Lightness!
Congrats!! I also have a mental illness. This is one thing that has helped me.

Doctors told me yoga was useless in minimizing my neck injury. The doctors were dead wrong. Keep it up with the self-care and self-love, and tell everyone to kiss your toned yoga a**. ❤❤❤.
I feel the same!! ❤❤
I have a very similar story to you , thank you for sharing your truth! I'm unpacking so much internalized fatphobia and finding this has felt like a breath of fresh air
Bro, aside from the great reviews I’m seeing, this is the first time seeing a non-white person instruct yoga on UA-cam 😩💐💐💐
Look up “Yoga Hive Studio” on UA-cam. She has been my instructor for years.
Black is beautiful!
I also teach yoga and I'm black
@@sk-qg8jv she is a great teacher it probly didnt cross your mind because your represented %90 percent of the time. Were should all acknowledge the huge discrepancy in representation for beautiful brown girls.
Arianna Elizabeth is who I started with. I'm new to yoga myself.
absolutely love the fact she recognizes that some ppl can't do every simply looking move...1st video I've seen for a real beginner like me with zero flexibility...love your videos... keep up the great work!
Big facts😍😍😍
I DONT KNOW YOU GUYS BUT I LOVE EVERYONE IN THE COMMENTS.
We love you toooooo
Aww love u too 😘✨
Happy New Year, sweetie 🎊🎊😘😘!
More of Jessamyn, please! All thanks and credit for her for getting me back into yoga at 54 years old.
She is one of the few yogatubers who knows what they are doing. She is not just showing-off. I learned a lot with this vid.
I can not thank you enough. I am currently recovering from covid (I was early to the party I’m a trend setter like that 🤣) I have been home bound for over a month and my health severely impacted despite being “out of the woods” I did this session and can honestly say I felt better than I have in months even before getting sick as far my breath and body. I am not exaggerating even one bit. I would like to continue rambling on but I will just say THANK YOU! Will all of my heart mind and body, thank you❤️
I am so glad you’re feeling better. Hope you’re feeling 100% soon.
Thank God you're recovering! Sending positive energy your way 💚
wishing you good health. ❤️
Bless your heart girl happy your recovering thankyou jesus!
Get better soon poppet xx
Most UA-cam yoga instructors: "This is a video for beginners". Proceeds to bend herself into a pretzel.
Me: Ok, I'm out.
Thankyou so much for this 🙏
saaame
right hate that lol
😂😂same here
Same also
I truly appreciate you. I needed to release prior to going to work this evening. I’m an RN, a veteran and a COVID-19 survivor. My work environment is very stressful and along with guided meditation and prayer, this is so needed. You are the bomb diggity! 🌹
I've followed you for years, Jessamyn, but this is my first time following one of your sequences and I loved it. I searched 'fat yoga' because I'm fat and don't want yoga for weight loss, I want it to feel good and to wake up my body which often feels so stiff from hours of studying. This did just that. Thank you!
10 min deep Meditation will help u in study 🙏 🇮🇳
Search- "vajrasan" .... sit in this position for 5 to 10 minutes before sleeping 👍
Same here!!
I loved this. This was the first time ever I did yoga 'cause I thoughtI couldn't practise it with my weight. And I have to admit it was hard and as I'm a cry-baby, I was close to crying from exhaustion and disappointment in myself two times but then you told me to breathe and my focus started to stay there. I didn't feel the need to cry anymore, I felt truly accepted. Thank you so much for this video, I will keep coming back every two days now. You are lovely!
I'm definitely a cry baby, and reading this made my waterworks start up!! haha
I am so happy for you and that you feel so good. You're truly amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
@@lustyargonianmaid4071 Thank you so much, I didn't mean to make you cry yet it's somehow so sweet. Take care! ❤
What a lovely comment 💜
Wow. I have so many positive things to say about this video! I was required to take a yoga class for one of my kinesiology courses, and my mind instantly jumped to Jessamyn. I am a plus-size woman of color, and I found this video not only helped me feel good but also helped me create a safe space for myself. Most of the yoga instructors on UA-cam are thin white womxn and I often find myself intimidated by their videos. I felt like Jessamyn was with me while I was doing this! Her instructions were clear and she went at a pace that was right for me. She also allowed lots of room for variation and longer time in different positions, whereas most instructional videos move quickly through each pose. Thank you for creating such a wonderful sequence Jessamyn! :)
Jessamyn is amazing! Her sweetness comes through and is totally comforting! 10/10 would recommend ;)
Very familiar with her. She’s a rock star in the yoga world. Super smart and talented young lady who brings so much realism to yoga for beginners including plus size women. Love her!
This video made me cry. This is the first time I’ve completed a yoga video without getting frustrated or giving up. Absolutely loved this! and when you said it’s okay to move my belly around!! Helped so much!
Btw: I used a couple thick hardcover books as blocks. Worked great!
I usually don't comment on videos, but I wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I love to see Black women doing yoga, and I especially love seeing Black women making content on how to do yoga! Sending you lots of positive energy, love and thanks 💜
I loved this video, never had anyone explained the poses before and acknowledge that we all have different range of movenment. Thanks Jessamyn 💖
Yass Queen! Girl Thank you for being you and having a channel in which you talk like a human, not an even flow, monotoned yogi- Look at me perpetuating cultural stereotypes, back to singing your praise, Thanks for they tips of what can be used in place of the purchasable accessories.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I love this video because it's friendly, accepting of all and calming, no distracting music, just enough conversation to be interesting but not distracting and enough time to not feel rushed. Thank you.
Thank you, Jessamyn.
I learned that I’m not ready for beginner but am going to keep doing this every day.
I also found myself like boohoo crying. Which was very surprising and it made me realized I haven’t allowed myself to DEEPLY cry in years.
Thank you for helping me find a piece of me.
this is amazing, I've never done yoga before but I've been doing this every night before bed for about a week now. At first I couldn't get through the whole video without getting too tired but now I'm nearly at the point where I can get through the whole thing. It's helping me sleep so much better!! Thank you.
seeing you is healing for my soul. this video is way bigger than yoga. thank you jessamyn, you have no idea.
amazing! i'm so grateful to have a 30 MIN (!!!) free class with jessamyn. i can't afford an online subscription but really love her teaching. she is an amazing part of the yoga community and damn, i just hope she's having a great day tbh x
Loved this. Also turning the hands backward- game changer. Thanks Jessamyn! Just what I needed today :)
This has to the best beginners video ever. Thank you Jessamyn you have really made Yoga easier and accessible to people like me. 🧘🏿♀️
oooof LOVED when she said that she just picks up her belly and moves it around! I have a belly and I always feel so self-conscious about it, but she just works with what it is. I feel like so many people who do yoga videos are thin and I never get aspects of my body in these positions addressed.
I've been extremely inactive since the pandemic hit and I've not been able to keep up with most yoga for beginners because they never take into account that when you're heavy, holding simple poses like downward dog for too long is killer on the arms, wrists and palms. I do tend to like more fast-paced yoga, but this felt absolutely incredible and I didn't have to get come out of poses halfway through. Thank you, Jessamyn!!
So, I watch this before and saved it. Been telling myself I'm going to do it every night. Set an alarm and over a week past. Finally did it just now and literally sat here crying at the end when you said "thank yourself…" cause honestly, I've been berating myself for not starting.
👏👏👏👏❤❤❤ You started!
I used to be so flexible at my smallest and now being bigger I feel defeated not being able to do all those same poses. Most videos feel unachievable - so I just quit. This sequence looks achievable, relaxing and it's delivered without judgement and actual knowledge of what some bodies need and can do. Also - you really get into the stretches. My body is crying out for some of these deep stretches. Now I know I will be able to do them. Thank you.
The “thank yourself for taking the time to do this” gets me EVERY time 🤧💕
Very late to the party but I nearly cried at finally finding a yoga practise that I could do and didn't make me hate my body. Thank you xxx
I thought I hated yoga. Thank you for showing me that I don’t hate yoga, but that I hate feeling so freaking lost in those so-called “beginner” yoga videos. Loving this!!!
Yes! I’ve been looking for someone who does plus size friendly yoga! I’ve tried so many other videos with instructors who are thin (nothing wrong with that of course) but I found that a lot of the poses I struggled to physically do because my boobs, thighs, belly, etc were in the way. She gave great modifications for those things and made the routine so much for accessible for me!!!
My favorite thing about this video are the audible sighs. Yoga feels good! Stretching feels good! I appreciate hearing someone else just feeling it and enjoying the poses. Mmmm.
So glad I found you!!! You make yoga so reachable and doable! Thank you!
Total girl crush! I want to be you when I grow up ☺️ I'm so going to do this..no fear... blessings
****woke up, did it and nailed 65% of the poses..proud of myself!
wow maybe the only yogi i trust right now. Thank you for making me feel so safe and included and empowered.
I've been looking for yoga that I can actually do. Most beginner yoga is way too hard, I will try this, thank you for making something for people like me.
Thank you so very much beloved. I appreciate you. Love & Light. I love how I have grown since my Awakening and now I accept all things that I at one time did not accept. Everything that is good for us, they have labeled as demonic and that is so far from the truth. Thanks again.
Where can we find more practices with Jessamyn? Super refreshing.
Have you seen her app called The Underbelly? Lots of yoga classes there and also around youtube, you'll find more.
A D thank you sis! All I wanted was to practice yoga with someone who looked like me! A black woman😊been looking all day
I love how Jessamiyn is so engaging I am going to go grab my yoga mat and blocks.... Thank you for this video!
A'Shiah Naomi yes queen! Same 👑
Yess!! She's a UA-camr. Type Her name in the search bar and I believe she has more Yoga vids!
this woman is amazing! bravo! most yoga instructors have bodies that are so athletic that it's intimidating to watch; this shows that there are no limitations; anyone of any size can be fit and can teach others by example. thank you for posting!
Day two of doing this and I'm loving how peaceful I am throughout the day and how less tense I am becoming. Thank you Jessamyn
I love this. Made me laugh out loud when you say a good hip opener will really take the wind out of your sails. I was definitely feeling that!! So glad to find your videos. Namaste!
I'm not a beginner, but I so so so enjoyed the way Jessamyn explained and walked through the different postures. This felt so good this morning. Thanks so much!
Ok I found you and now I'm ordering my yoga blocks. Thank you so much!
How wonderful and refreshing this video is, I love Jessamyn's voice, energy, and yoga flow practice.
Thank you, thank you, thank you :)
I love your positive, accepting attitude. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Loved this class, loved not worrying about my ability compared with the instructor or casual comments promoting our diet culture, THANK YOU JESSAMYN!
I have 3 cats if we close a door it's like that hahaha, but I love it so much, your voice is amazing, you are so calm and beautiful ♡
Thank you so much for doing this! Your yoga instruction is much more accessible and relatable.
I love how she explain it with details and doing it not too fast. It's really helping.
I❤💯🌻⚜ Ms. Stanley! She is the real deal and an AWESOME Instructor. Thanks for sharing.
Aaaah, the 1rst instruction I have completed! Thank You.....you had me at "I move my belly" total inspiration
Love this!! I've been following you since January and I can't get enough. I even now work out without a top because who cares!!?
Oh my gosh I could cry. I've been trying to get into yoga for YEARS, but being a size 26/28 I've never found anything accessible (or welcoming) to me. This was incredible and relatable. Thank you so, so much.
Yoga with Jessamyn is EVERYTHING!
I smiled a lot during this practice. I needed this. And I needed you. Thank you. 🙏🏻😌
Yesterday, I tried Yoga 🧘🏾♀️ for the first time. Couldn't finish a move, had no balance, no understanding of my body's placement. Found you this morning and I did it. 15 minutes in, and I feel good, calm, and accomplished. Going to finish the last 17 minutes at lunch or after dinner tonight. Thank you. I feel inspired. 💖
Yes finally someone who truly explains each move. Thank you. I will be doing this practice again, until I can do the moves correctly. Thank you Jessamyn
This is day four in routine with you, my body feels more swift and relaxed throughout the day so I love starting my day with you. Thank you 🙏🏾
Great to see someone teaching yoga for specifically those who are overweight. It's hard trying to lose weight sometimes because a lot of exercises are too much for me at my current weight! I recently tried following a beginner yoga flow and some of the poses were so far past my abilities because of the weight I'd have to hold up, like a reverse tabletop pose with one arm extended
this is the first yoga video i've ever done that i've felt genuinely relaxed after. i feel seen and heard and not judged and i am grateful
Amazing.....thankyousoooomuch....I’m 69 years old and this is the first video where I feel into the practise with sacred intention unconditional love for my gloriously slow large old body and my 20 year old mind...... hahahahaha I’ll be back each morning see you soon
Thank you SO much, it’s amazing to have done an actual beginner class that is accessible to all bodies and abilities 😭 I didn’t think it would affect me that much, but after struggling through other classes with my body this one is so judgement free and what yoga should be. Thank you! 💙
I love this video! Jessamyn is so kind and understanding and supportive, I felt very comfortable and encouraged with her. It is very intimidating to start yoga in a bigger body, and it means so much to see someone who looks like me working out in a gentle way. Thank you Jessamyn!
I'm really really REALLY loving all the positive energy and direct helpful commentary on using the props - too many 'beginner' videos I've seen seem to throw it in as an aside. As a plus sized woman who is rather stiff in the back, this is my favourite yoga video I've seen so far - I will have to find more of her content!!
Thank you for a lovely class, you're fresh, you're fun, you know what you're talking about, you speak straight to my heart!
So happy to see this body type in an instructor! There are so many moves just not modeled in a way that works for me usually. Can’t wait to see more from her.
Yessss. We need to continue to decolonize yoga, and create space for Black teachers.
I haven’t been one with my body lately and this video helped me get back to it. Thank you So much, super welcoming energy
That was SUCH a beautiful practice. I’m so grateful for you 💗 someone that looks like me being empowered and teaching us how to love our bodies. Thank you 🙏🏽
Great intro to yoga. 30 minutes is just enough. No judgement...love that!
Thank you so much! I absolutely love the way you guide through each pose with different options....it truly shows that yoga is for everyone, it’s just about finding where your body is today! I’m not flexible AT ALL and still working on strength....it’s so easy to get discouraged working through some videos. Thanks again!
This was so relaxing and to have someone look like me, makes me feel even greater! Thank you so much! Will definitely continue to watch you every morning to start my day!
I love her confidence and how magically she makes me feel confident too. Love it!!!
Hi! So a couple of days ago I started exercising and doing yoga after workouts. For the first time in my life I'm actually enjoying it!
I have a background rich in traumas that all have one thing in common - body-image problems and hyperawareness of my body. So I used to get a ton of panic attacks and s**cidal thoughts once I got an intrusive thought about the way my body looked and how disgusting it was.
Your video is amazing and despite me being an absolute idiot in terms of yoga and falling over a couple of times, I got almost no intrusive thoughts! I felt good and allowed to make mistakes, which is new to me. Thank you so much for making such content, I think I'll stick to your channel for quite some time! ❤️
So happy to finally see someone who is like me doing a yoga practice. Thank you SO much. Xxxx
Wow. I have had a few good yoga instructors but Jessamyn - you are amazing. You explain things so clearly and I feel like you understand the difficulties people have when starting yoga and give practice solutions . I’m watching while eating breakfast and hoping I get the motivation to practice later today, but feel a little more confident with beginning. ❤🌟🌟
Loving the positivity in the comments! This was amazing. I have no flexibility so I going this tough! I really want to get into yoga more. Thank you fir the video
Great flow, loved the teacher - awesome way to start my weekend!
The yoga practice was excellent - your instructions were very clear.
Thank you for your instruction! I am greatful for your candidness and guidance.
This video has been so helpful! I've used it a few days in a row now and I really appreciate the validation and work around that are offered. This video makes me feel comfortable with doing Yoga again!! 💙
I literally just finished this, my 3rd time trying yoga and I wanted to say.... Thank you. A million thank yous for being you.
I tried to get into yoga 4 times before. In January I started following along with your vids after a friend recommended it. I’m now so proud to say that I haven’t skipped a day yet, and I look forward to doing my little sesh every day! I feel a change in my body, but more importantly myself. Thank you so much for the wonderful guidance & spirit you offer ☺️
Started my Mother's Day morning with this wonderful yoga flow 💖. Thank you, I'll look forward to more!
Hiiiii! Its wonderful to see someone like me preforming these yoga positions and practices. I've been doing yoga off and on for the last 7 years. Never really did it long enough to be able to do some of the traditional positions. Giving yours a try this morning was really a challenge. Thank you, please keep it up!
I was very happy to find jessamyn Stanley on instagram. its nice to see someone of my size doing yoga, and she encouraged me to try yoga. this sequence has been helping me alot the last couple days and those hip openers literally relieved so much tension I cried. This is such an amazing video!
You too are Such Roundies
This is amazing, The relief I felt during this video made me smile. My favorite is the hip pose where you bring your shin forward and walk down! I love you and thank you for this video
Just completed this first video with you, this is my first time doing yoga. I swear, I just want to burst into tears of joy. You have no idea how much I have needed this both of confidence and encouragement, to see someone who looked like me. My whole life has been nothing but judgment on my appearance and my flaws. And with that weight on my shoulders oh, I have never really had the strength to want to change myself for the better and improve for for me and only me. This is definitely a start and I just want to thank you so much for providing this free video to us oh, God knows that I probably won't be able to afford paying for anything right now. Thank you so much and U have just earned another follower and fan. God bless you beautiful.
i love your style, the world needs more of this!
I absolutely love this video! Thank you!
Thank you Jessamyn!!!
I'm so glad I found you! I love yoga, but I have never found instruction that suits my level and my body, until now. Your teaching style is so gentle, yet somehow powerfully motivational. And I've never heard anyone speak so directly, without judgement or pity, about how to manage poses where your big bum or belly might get in the way, and that's something I've desperately needed! I cannot thank you enough!!!
I’ve dabbled in yoga in the past but never found the connection. I’ve done a lot of hard work and healing these last few years. I found this video and now I do this almost every day. Thank you for showing me this beautiful practice and showing me how to get in touch. You are so radiant and lovely. Namaste Jessamyn🙏🏻
This was so beautiful, Jessamyn, I cried while in practice. Thank you.
1st time yoga attempt. While doing the hip stretch/opening the hips while J is telling us "our hips hold so much tension. They hold the very moment(s) we wanted to flee or fight. We deserve to be able to hold that truth."" The tears fell. A dam broke. Wow. Such a release. Thank you J.
I cried too! And when our chest opened up in camel. I've been feeling really broken hearted after taking in a lot of vicarious trauma. When she said "it deserves presence. It deserves absorption. Take it in" I felt like it was the first time in a long time I was able to open my heart for something positive and for myself. Powerful!
I finally found someone I can actually follow and learn from. I will be doing this video for the next month along with my new challenge of walking 2 miles a day. I am really happy with the instruction Thank you
SUCH A SUPPORTIVE VIDEO!!! I felt like I was allowed to fail and could take the extra precaution I needed to make sure my body was in a safe place and could jump back into it when I was ready! The best yoga I've done during quarantine! Also to add, being a plus-sized person this was more accomodating to my stomach and butt which get in the way very often. Thank you
