Home Body is a self-paced, online video library for plus size bodies
At More to Love Yoga, your bigger body is your superpower.
Home Body teaches you confidence and knowledge in yoga and your body. Allow yourself the rewards of a powerful mind-body practice, no matter your size.
Rewards like feeling calm and serene in your mind.
Flexible and strong in your body.
At peace with the whole of you.
Brave and proud for tending to yourself.
But living in a bigger body, these rewards can feel out of reach…And that’s the root of the problem.
Being plus-size do you have:
A belief that to feel good, you first need a SMALLER body?
Shame for having a bigger body?
Guilt for taking up “too much” space?
Exhaustion from the energy you’ve spent trying to “fix” your body?
An urge to hide your body, your heart…yourself?
YOGA HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE HOW YOU CONNECT TO YOUR BODY.
Hi, I’m Rachel,
For years, I felt shame for my body. And in that shame, I hid. I hid my body behind baggy clothing. I hid my heart for fear of judgment. All that hiding made me feel small inside yet embarrassed for being TOO big on the outside.
I thought happiness was a goal-weight away. Until I realized that there was more to love about me than my size.
I want to share with you More to Love Yoga™, an approach to yoga that transforms and heals body-shame.
In More to Love Yoga your body is safe, supported and whole. I teach yoga and body acceptance to bigger bodies. Why? Because we deserve yoga that reflects and respects our deepest needs.
If you’re ready to feel greater ease in your body and joy in heart know this:
You don’t have to stay on the sidelines of yoga because you’re plus size.

I had always been interested in yoga, but as a bigger person had never felt comfortable in the classes I was attending.

She makes it fun and accessible for all body types. I can’t say enough good things about More to Love Yoga.
I experience class as a guided journey; a body journey and a mind journey. I interact with my breath more in More to Love Yoga class than I do anywhere and realize how much of a gift it is. I sweat, I grunt, I laugh, I fall into and out of balance, and I love it all.

Meet Rachel
Rachel Estapa is passionate about empowering people to love and appreciate their bodies. Her own path to body acceptance began many years ago. After yo-yo dieting throughout her teenage years and into adulthood, Rachel took stock of her life and realized she wasn’t happy. Even when she reached her “goal weight,” she felt something was missing. That’s when she decided she would stop trying to change her body and instead she would focus on loving the body she has.
This was no small feat. It meant challenging standard ideas of beauty, health, and happiness. It meant shifting her focus from what she didn’t have to what she did have. Through this process, Rachel discovered how marvelous her body truly is and gradually learned that there is more to love about herself beyond her appearance.
As part of this process, Rachel challenged herself to try yoga – something she always thought was not made for her body type – and was amazed to find that, when she gives her body the support and respect it deserves, yoga is an incredible tool in teaching her how strong and capable her body truly is. Today, Rachel practices yoga regularly, enjoys cooking healthy, fresh meals with her husband, and walks into a room with a smile on her face and her head held high.
Rachel is certified Kripalu yoga instructor and transformational life coach, equipped with more than 1,000 professional training hours in the necessary tools to share what she has learned and empower others to love, accept, and care for their bodies and their entire selves. In 2017, Rachel was the Grand Prize winner of Mastercard and Bank of America’s Grow Your Biz Contest, and has been profiled in numerous outlets, including The Boston Globe, USA Today, Huffington Post and many more. She is a sought after teacher and speaker in the field of plus size wellness and is excited to support More to Love’s robust and growing community.
I can’t wait to meet you inside the Home Body Program.
More to Lovingly Yours,
Rachel
