LA Made: Sumo Yoga

Sumo Yoga is a unique wellness program that combines traditional yoga with movements inspired by Japanese sumo training. More than a fitness class, Sumo Yoga encourages self-acceptance and body positivity by celebrating strength in all shapes and sizes. Participants will also gain insight into Japanese culture, the history of sumo, and the values of respect, resilience, and community that are central to the practice.

This inclusive program is suitable for all fitness levels, ages, and body types. No previous yoga or exercise experience is required. Participants are encouraged to move at their own pace in a welcoming and supportive environment.

This program is made possible by the LA Made Fund.
