新概念雙語：柔軟胖妹練瑜伽 劈叉倒立超靈活

There's never not a time — or size — to love and strengthen yourself.

無論什么時候，無論什么體重，你都要愛自己，讓自己變得強大。

That's the inspiring message exercised, one pose at a time, by Valerie Sagun, a.k.a, Big Gal Yoga.

這是一條充滿正能量的信息。瓦萊麗·撒根，也就是“胖妞瑜伽”，每次做一個動作，親身詮釋這句話的內(nèi)涵。

For the last three years the plus-sized San Francisco Bay-area woman has candidly uploaded impressive photos and videos of herself practicing a range of stunning yoga poses — from standing on her head to balancing on two hands — while attracting more than 57,000 fans on Instagram alone.

這個體型龐大的女子住在舊金山灣區(qū)，在過去3年里，她大方地把自己練瑜伽的照片和視頻發(fā)到網(wǎng)上，給人留下了深刻的印象。從用頭倒立到用雙手撐起自己，她做過一系列高難度的瑜伽動作，僅僅在Instagram就吸引了超過5萬7千名粉絲。

With each pose she explains her movements so others, no matter their experience level, can follow her example. She also provides video and photos of her own struggles.

她會解釋每一個動作，這樣其他人不管水平如何都能跟上她的示范。她也會提供自己遇到困難時的視頻和照片。

"I just want to make sure that people don't feel like that they have to be scared or intimidated by learning yoga from someone who doesn't look like them," she states on her Tumblr page where she occasionally posts intimate photos of her body.

她時不時會在自己的Tumblr主頁上發(fā)布自己的私人照片。“我只是想讓人們不要害怕跟體型和自己不一樣的人學(xué)瑜伽，”她在Tumblr頁面上說道。

"All of us have body issues whether you are big or small, but it's good to just take the time to look at yourself and just love it as it is now."

“我們每個人都有身材上的問題，要不就是太胖要不就是太瘦。還是花點時間好好看看自己吧，愛現(xiàn)在的自己就好了。”
