Moving more is great for your happiness - but many of us decide
to exercise because we're unhappy with our bodies and long to
change them. What should be fun and life-enhancing often becomes
saturated with self-loathing.

Jessamyn Stanley identified as a "fat and awkward weirdo", who
shied away from exercise until she realised that it was her own
body-shaming that was holding her back. She tells Dr Laurie
Santos how she decoupled her love of yoga from the corrosive idea
of transforming her body - and in the process became an
inspirational teacher and author for those who think exercise
isn't for them.
