"Yoga is grace to the world. Welcome any and all to class to develop
their spirit and make the world a more conscious, joyful place to be."
- Kim Vidya Yoga
We strongly believe in the power of the human spirit to heal itself. At Caya (cah-yah): Come As You Are, we recognize that each person is on a unique path, filled with special circumstances and challenges. Whether you’re battling stress, anxiety, body image issues, health issues or you’re just looking for a place to be yourself, we welcome you. Body, mind, and spirit.
As we continue to develop our vision and Caya into a living breathing entity, we've been circling back to some of the same words and phrases over and over again. The short list includes:
authenticity, honesty, joy, peace, empowerment, be patient with yourself, celebrate your mistakes, never apologize for being yourself, dare to be different, listen to your body, find your passion, unleash your dreams, love your body (especially your belly), discover curiosity, live the questions
What other words and phrases should we include that embrace and celebrate the unique paths we are all on? What words would stimulate you to try out a new yoga or dance class? What message would encourage you to sample a new workshop series or try some bodywork with a practitioner you've never met before?
How can we be more welcoming and inviting to people just like you?

Check our Megan Garcia's book Megayoga. She is a Kripalu Yoga teacher and a plus-size model in NYC who gave a presentation to a training I attended at Kripalu last December. She has created a DVD Just My Size yoga sporsored by the Just My Size clothing company. I would imagine she would have suggestions about clothing since she models for Lane Bryant, Lord and Taylor, Macy's, and on The View. In her presentation, she suggested modifications that might be helpful to you, including inversions.
