Delight Gilley -Delight Gilley came to yoga as a way to support her personal meditation practice and fell in love. After her 40 th birthday she decided to try something new and difficult each year after. Settling on a popular high intensity workout program she found herself more afraid of being body shamed than of the difficulty of the workout. She thought there must be people who feel this way about yoga, and enrolled in Lotus’ Yoga Teacher Training in the fall of 2019. Delight is excited to be bringing Curvy Yoga back to Lotus, she hopes to make yoga and its benefits accessible to people who might not otherwise feel comfortable in the studio.
