Yoga for Larger Bodies

Yoga for Larger Bodies is an experimental ethnographic animation exploring one woman's journey as a plus-sized yoga instructor, as well as her decision to form a yoga class specifically for larger bodied individuals. The animation, in keeping with the ideas of union, meditation, and connection, is formed of one continuous line for its entire 8 minute and 20 second duration. The necessarily iterative process of animation celebrates Jean Rouch's ideas of 'shared anthropology' by encouraging collaboration through offering multiple points of input from its subject. Its date of completion was April of 2014.
