NEW YEAR MORE YOU

A day for anti-dieters and fat babes to celebrate you at your fullest!

To shake off the January blues and avoid the diet culture overload that can feel suffocating this time of year, Anti Diet Riot Club and Big Yoga club have joined forces to create a day that celebrates YOU. Perfect, brilliant you…. as you are RIGHT NOW.

Don’t start a new diet this new year. Rebel against diet culture with us!

Don’t buy an expensive gym membership you’ll never use. Do some joyful movement with us instead!

Don’t buy a new wardrobe. Come swap some clothes with other plus size babes!

Join us for a day of classes and events centred around feeling good, self-acceptance, fat positive community and having fun. Connect to yourself with some self-compassion yoga, find new looks and adorn your body in a sustainable way in the plus-size clothing swap, nurture your creative/bodily freedom with radical life drawing and Curve Catwalk’s empowering dance class. Come to one activity, mix and match or join us for the whole day!

Come to our eclectic community venue 450 @ Peckham Levels in South London and celebrate with us at your MOST! Cos you're never too much for us babe x

About Anti Diet Riot Club

Anti Diet Riot Club is a grassroots non-profit and rebel community on a mission to dismantle diet culture and combat the low body image pandemic. Through hosting creative and education events, running our online membership community and facilitating peer led support groups we enable people how to find freedom from the cycle of dieting and body hatred.

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 raise awareness of the harmful effects of diet culture, the importance of positive body image and campaign against weight-based discrimination through our social media content and blog.

Founded in 2017, it's run by Becky Young and Harri Rose as well as a some passionate freelancers and volunteers. 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.
