We support people via The Anti Diet Riot Community space, delivering educational workshops and talks, hosting monthly size diverse life drawing workshops, and encouraging community discussion online.

We've engaged with over 1000 people looking for a new way to engage with their bodies and have been featured in The Guardian, BBC One, Grazie, Cosmopolitan, The Financial Times, Vice as well as radio shows across the UK talking on issues around weight stigma, the diet industry and body image.

About Big Yoga Club

Big Yoga Club is a size inclusive, fat-positive and anti-diet yoga community created by Lucy B & Matt H.

With over a decade of teaching experience, we have witnessed first-hand how the yoga & wellness industry has treated people in larger and marginalised bodies. We are sick of it! We are here to disrupt the conversation around health, size, movement and wellbeing; and have fun doing it!

At Big Yoga Club we bring people together to celebrate, connect and move joyfully. There is always size inclusive yoga practice, connecting chats, snacks and a community of like minded people.

Our motto is living on the larger side of life, not only because we want to celebrate big bodies but because we want to support all of us to live big joyful lives.
