Big Body Yoga

Big Body Yoga is a mindfulness and movement community rooted in radical self-acceptance, equitable access and being your biggest self.

Kady Lafferty founded Big Body Yoga (BBY, formerly Big Booty Yoga) when yoga drastically improved her life at a time when she was struggling with mental health, accompanied with a lifelong battle with body image and self-worth. Often the only plus-sized person taking or teaching yoga class and recognising the inequity of representation in yoga, Kady intentionally created the BBY space to welcome a

Don’t stop me now 💕

I need to remember to look at my photos to re-live moments of joy- it all passes so fast. Life is beautiful (and hard), y’all, but I’m grateful to be here another day.

Rest easy, birthday twin 🙏🏽 The first thing I felt when I found out you had left this world was the unique feeling that was being in your presence… The feeling of being held and supported in a way that felt light, easy and true. You were one of the good ones. The world is a little less bright now without you and you will be missed forever. You may have been my student, but more than anything you were my teacher. I love you.

Sometimes when anxiety hits, it’s so easy to slip into self-deprecation and get stuck in that loop of self-criticism (maybe you know the one—“It’s such a mess in here,” “Why can’t I keep my s**t together?” “God, I’m so chaotic,” etc.). I’m planting these little reminders that I am, in fact, doing things, and that’s worth celebrating. Shifting from “look at me, I’m such a mess,” to, “look at me, another check.” 🥳🤣

Every phase of life introduces new stressors and different ways they show up—and sometimes the tools and skills that used to work just aren’t sufficient anymore. So now, I’m in a season of positive reinforcement via list-making, white-knuckling it a little, and learning as I go. Shoutout to everyone else in a similar boat in some way shape or form.

You’re not alone, we’re in this together 🩷

P.S. Yes, I know that none of the boxes are checked yet, soooooooo technically I have not collected any evidence of mildly successful adulting—but I will update promptly when (if?) that changes.

✨Our daily routine✨
1. Wake up
2. Get dressed
3. Opal drops the needle on her record
4. Full blown drum solo by 8am—because cartoons are overrated when you’re prepping for your world tour 🤘🏽

After a lot of reflection, I’ve decided it’s time to close this chapter and shut down the online studio part of my website.

This wasn’t an easy choice. I love this platform, what it represents and the incredible community that surrounds it- but with the full rhythm of life these days and juggling all the things, I haven’t had the time to invest in it the way it deserves. They say if you love something, you should set it free—and i think that’s exactly what this moment is asking of me.

I’m deeply grateful for all the love, support, and energy you’ve poured into this community. Whether you joined for one class or one hundred, you helped make Big Body Yoga
what it is—and that means the world to me.

But this isn’t goodbye! I hope to continue hosting events in the future, and I want to make sure you have ways to keep your practice going. I’ve moved BBY’s yoga videos to our YouTube channel, where they’ll live freely and be accessible
anytime that works for you.

Subscribe if you’d like, share with a friend, or come back to your favorite flows whenever you need a little grounding or a
moment to yourself. I hope they bring you as much comfort and joy as I felt creating them.

Thank you for being part of this big, beautiful journey. And if you ever have a question or just want to say hey—I’m here.

All my love- and as always a reminder:
You matter ♥️
