This Woman Is Teaching The Importance Of Self-Love With 'Big Gal Yoga'

Valerie has been practicing yoga for a little over four years now.

Based out of the San Francisco Bay Area, Valerie runs an Instagram account, Big Gal Yoga, that now has over 50,000 followers.

It features a number of impressive yoga poses, cool yoga pants and a very clear message: People should love themselves no matter what.

On her Tumblr, Valerie wrote,

I just hope to keep spreading self love through yoga. Loving ourselves is such a radical thinking. I know that we can't always love ourselves all the time, but we should have a good understanding of ourselves physically and mentally. To try and not to tear ourselves down about such small things.
