#47 - The Perfect Body For Movement… Is YOURS. How to Build Self-compassion Through Yoga with Anna Guest-Jelley of CurvyYoga.com

We're practicing yoga daily the month of September to explore how
yoga can help you connect to your body through breath and build
the self-compassion you need to live with Body Kindness.


(Important reminder: Connection is one of the three Body Kindness
pillars… Connection to your body and connection to other people,
places, and things that make up your world.)


Anna Guest Jelley has connected yoga to many people who would
have otherwise found yoga to be "not for them" because a crucial
need was not met -- the instructors were not teaching for all
sizes. Anna is a she-ro of mine because she saw a problem and
addressed it. BOOM! Curvy Yoga was born!


Tune in to hear us discuss the powers of movement that has
nothing to do with weight loss. We chat about the value of
creating spaces where weight loss talk is off the table -- even
if people really are hoping to change their bodies.


Finally, we discuss why connection is essential to help us get to
know ourselves and our patterns that can help reduce judgments
and shame. After listening to this show, you'll understand how
the right fit yoga classes and experiences can absolutely open
you up to reframing how movement fits into your life, the reasons
why you move, and how you can show up for your body with
compassion.

connection to your body through yoga. Learn more at
