      Drea Anderson a tip is to slow the video down. Of course you’ll have to have seen the video once or twice, to know what she says 😁

    Thank YOU for your absolute bravery in what is often an incredibly cruel world. After years of encouraging my mother to take care of herself and maybe give yoga a try (She had always been caught up in the idea that she is not flexible. Regardless of what I said) simply for the benefit of lowering stress; She has finally taken that first step of a new journey and is happy to have done it. What changed her mind was a picture of You in my Glamour magazine as well as in My YogaJournal. I can't even begin to express how appreciative I am for your bravery, strength, heart and wisdom for you are inspiring people of all shapes and sizes and also proving so many of people's judgements and misconceptions wrong!!! "Plus sized" women have a hero in you. Again I thank you for putting yourself out there for people like my mother who feel ashamed and beaten down by the world simply for being the size that they are. Thank You for giving hope!

    VMRa - Grand RaSing 🌞 I've stood next to you at T.S.S.S.M.O.M.Y. & never saw a video for yoga from you. This is what I get when I put POC in my search! You we're great. An honor to virtually meet you & take your morning class. My day will start with awesome possibilities!!!

      This is not curvy, I'm not sure who started calling big people curvy, There's a DIFFERENCE between curvy thick, and fat. This woman is definitely amazing but fat is not curvy or thick

    Thank you so much for putting this video out! Been looking for yoga videos with instructors that look like me, a plus size girl! When it comes to flexibility, us big girls got different needs from the body type one usually finds in yoga instruction. Love that your message is so positive and encouraging! You are amazing and please, please put out more videos soon! Big girls represent! Much love and blessings to you!

    I watch bc we are the same body type and I been doing hip-hop dance and squat workouts and thought I should try a little yoga....this looks advanced as hell girl I'm gon' fall and break everything in my room! 😂😂
    I admire how patient you must've been to learn this!

  • @alohaXamanda
    @alohaXamanda 6 років тому +28

    I've taken a lot of yoga classes with a lot of teachers, including some of the 'famous' teachers, and Jessamyn is my new favorite. She's just incredible with her ability to communicate the basics of alignment without overwhelming the student with too much information, and I love how supportive she is for those of us who might not be able to do a pose without props. I also like the way she often pauses between poses to integrate the stretch and allow the body to adjust.

    @debivitt8666 3 роки тому

    I would be so thrilled to have you as my friend!You are a beautiful woman inside & out, so well spoken & truly an inspirational woman. I enjoy watching & following your classes. Jessamyn fills me with the encouragement I needed to begin yoga again after ten years. I am thrilled I came across your classes. I have multiple chronic autoimmune disorders which cause severe pain & fatigue. Some days I will just listen to your class & I begin to feel better. That might be cheating myself although it makes me happy inside & everyone deserves to feel that!

  • @cosmickitty9533

    I broke my wrist a few years back, it never really healed the way I wanted it to. Whenever I apply pressure it gives me pain, though I have made it my mission to enjoy yoga this year without the fear of it hurting. This video makes me feel better, being that I am encouraged to use other methods to support my arm, and your instructions are simple yet helpful. Also I like that you arent rushing us through the moves because I am a beginner, and its difficult to start when you have to get into position and instantly move when you finally find your footing. Thank you for this video, you are truly inspiring.

  • @tinamcbride5423
