Curve Some Yoga

Stella Pecco

Donna Nobles: the woman behind the motto “Every body is a Yoga Body”

Donna is a certified yoga teacher and the creator of “Curvesomeyoga”, a body positive yoga class, and a self-acceptance class for all genders and fitness levels.

I attended one of her classes myself, and she is incredible, she makes you feel very comfortable and her classes are very personal even if you are in a group, you never find yourself “lost” or left alone in your yoga practice.

She really cares about every person she meets and she thinks that everyone should be free to feel good in its own body.

She also just held a 3 days yoga retreat that went very well, where

she not only had yoga classes, but also coaching sessions and inspiring speeches.

Donna used to work in corporate, and thanks to a dear friend of her and to.Madonna (and her famous picture in a yoga pose) she started approaching yoga.

The crucial moment of her life when she really understood that yoga was going to be the main path in her life was when she went to L.A.

to take a 9 weeks teaching course...and stayed there for 6 months.

She then began to change inside out: working less and dedicating more time to yoga, feeling more and more herself and focusing more on health and wellbeing of her and the people around her.
