Plus-Size Accessibility Audits for Online Yoga Classes

Plus-Size Accessibility Audits for Online Yoga Classes

A new offering from Britta

Most online yoga classes weren’t designed with fat practitioners in mind — even when teachers genuinely want to be inclusive.

This audit helps bridge that gap.

I review your online yoga class through a plus-size accessibility lens, focusing on real, practical barriers fat students experience: language, cueing, transitions, camera framing, pacing, props, and emotional safety.

This is not about perfection.
It’s about making your classes more welcoming, usable, and comfortable for larger bodies.


What This Audit Is (and Isn’t)

This audit is:

  • Thoughtful, specific, and grounded in lived experience
  • Focused on access, not weight loss
  • Practical — you’ll know exactly what to change and why
  • Respectful of your teaching style and voice

This audit is not:

  • A judgment of you as a teacher
  • A generic checklist
  • A demand to overhaul everything

What I Review

Each audit uses a multi-page evaluation form and looks at:

  • Language & cueing
    • Body-neutral, non-shaming cues
    • How options and modifications are framed
  • Movement & pose accessibility
    • Space for bellies, thighs, chests, and arms
    • Transitions and floor-to-standing options
  • Props & setup
    • Whether props are offered proactively and clearly
  • Visual accessibility
    • Camera framing and demonstrations
  • Pacing & nervous system support
    • Time to set up, rest, and self-regulate
  • Emotional & social safety
    • Tone, normalization of struggle, and inclusion
  • Overall experience
    • Whether fat students are treated as expected participants, not exceptions

You’ll receive clear notes, specific examples, and prioritized recommendations — not vague suggestions.


Who This Is For

This audit is a good fit if you:

  • Teach online yoga classes (live or prerecorded)
  • Want to be genuinely inclusive of fat practitioners
  • Suspect your classes might unintentionally exclude larger bodies
  • Are open to learning without shame or defensiveness


Many skilled teachers simply haven’t been taught size-aware accessibility. This is not a personal failure, it’s a gap in your teacher training.
