No Body Shame at Sea

If you missed out last year for the No Body Shame at Sea with Whitney Way Thore, I will will be teaching yoga again on the cruise! Excited to also have some friends coming along, as well as meeting all that come! Look forward to soaking up the sun, hanging out, practicing yoga, dance classes, kundalini yoga mindfulness, and an awesome fashion show! If you haven't signed up yet, click on the link info on how to sign up! Look forward to seeing you there! 💕

This cruise is designed so that Whitney, her family, and her friends from the cast of My Big Fat Fabulous Life are with you every step of the way! First, we'll meet you at the private cocktail party, followed by a No BS at Sea orientation first thing the next morning, where you'll receive your lanyards, schedule of activities, and get to mingle with your new No BS family. Throughout the days at sea, you can participate in as many (or as few) exclusive activities as you'd like. There will be dance classes, yoga classes, workshops, a chance to win a free onboard photo shoot & MORE! In the evening, there will be a combination of group dinners as well as evenings where you can explore other dining options. You are free to do as you wish during the days we are docked at port –– but we'll let you know what Whitney and the gang are doing if you care to join in their excursion...and in Cozumel, Mexico, you have an included group excursion on US! We'll close out the cruise with another private party on the last night before we arrive in Florida.

With the economy changing and programs like Planned Parenthood who are at risk of being defunded, it can be hard to find ways to help out. This fundraiser is to help support and raise awareness of the positive programs that Planned Parenthood provides for the everyday person in the U.S.A. and internationally. This organization gives all people the choice and support for their reproductive rights, safe testing, affordable birth control, and so much more without judgement. It is a valuable organization that we all need!

Come join Big Gal Yoga aka Valerie Sagun for a yoga class fundraiser at Be the Change Yoga and Wellness. All proceeds will be donated to Planned Parenthood!

As well, if you are too far to attend, I will be live streaming the class on Facebook! Livestream will be free to watch, but if you would like to contribute and donate you can donate directly to PlannedParenthood.org OR you can do a donation through my link https://goo.gl/Sb91fA that will add you to the raffle to win a pink Liforme mat!!!
