A yoga teacher is trying to change the face of the discipline and in the process says she has found a new self-awareness by deliberately gaining 40lbs.

Trina Hall, a yoga instructor based in Dallas Texas, embarked on a diet she describes as see it, eat it to gain the weight, and blogged about her experience

The 34year-old began to gain weight after hearing a friend and fellow yogi crying over her fear about been known as the fat yoga teacher.

Trina had a healthy, moderate diet and was a typically slim, fit yoga instructor before she began her project, and believed she didn't really care about her weight
