Long Version

Anna Guest-Jelleyis founder and CEO (Curvy Executive Officer) at Curvy Yoga, a training and inspiration portal offering classes, workshops, teacher trainings, retreats and lots of love and support to women of every size, age and ability.

Over 15 years ago (way before yoga was trendy), Anna started her journey as one curvy woman amongst throngs of lithe, pretzel types. As yoga became her foundation of a life well-lived,Anna discovered that although she knew other bigger-bodied yogis could enjoy the same benefits, there were practically zero resources to provide them with curve-friendly options.

In 2010, CurvyYoga.com was born and what started as a one-person hobby quickly grew into a CURVEolution. A few short years later, Anna has taken Curvy Yoga from a simple resource website into a global enterprise that currently supports curvy yogis and their whole-hearted teachers in six different countries on three different continents, as well as in 30 of the United States.

Anna is a writer, teacher and lifelong champion for women’s empowerment and body acceptance. Author of “Permission to Curve: Inspiring Poses for Curvy Yogis & Their Teachers,” and co-editor of an anthology on yoga and body image coming out Fall 2014 (with Llewellyn), Anna has been featured online and in print at The Washington Post, xoJane, US News & World Report, Southern Living, Vogue Italia, Yoga International, Yoga Journal, CrazySexyLife and more.

Armed with her Curvy Yoga MATifesto that teaches, “Loving your body opens the door for others to love theirs,” this highly esteemed E-RYT200 & RYT500 yoga instructorand curvy enthusiast encourages women of every size, age and ability to follow her lead, grab life by the curves … and never let go.
