“So often, when I go take a class, I’m the only fat person in the room; but when I’m teaching the class and a fat student comes, they never have to feel that way because even if there’s not another fat student, there’s a fat teacher.” • I’m so pleased to have been featured this week as one of @dcrefined ‘s “Extraordinary People of DC!” Thanks to @moxie_manda for reaching out to me and writing this piece, and to @zunigaphotography for the featured image. ❤️🙏🏼 • Link from bio. • #yoga #dcyoga #bodypositiveyoga #bodypositive #bodypositivity #fatyoga #fatpositive #fatliberation #haes #yogaforeverybody #whatayogilookslike #representationmatters #everybodybends #yogaforall #queeryoga #queersofinstagram #nonbinary #yogateacher

This week I’m taking as many opportunities as possible to remind myself of all the times I’ve exercised courage—the courage to explore who I am and where I’m situated in the world, the courage to speak up, speak out, speak truth, the courage to admit my mistakes and hold others accountable for theirs. I’m practicing continually reminding myself that real boundary setting takes bravery, that conflict and violence are not the same thing no matter how uncomfortable conflict makes me, that sometimes conflict is a necessary part of our practice of #ahimsa. Especially as I prepare to facilitate training in non-violent communication to a brand new group of 200-hour #yoga teacher trainees this weekend, these thoughts are at the top of my mind. • What reminders are you giving yourself this week? What thoughts are you having about conflict, courage, speaking truth, or setting boundaries? • #whatayogilookslike #yogisofinstagram #yogaforeverybody #representationmatters #fatliberation #bodypositive #bodypositivity #yogaforall #fatyoga #bodypositiveyoga #queeryoga #queersofinstagram #everybodybends #courage #boundaries #practice #dcyoga #yogateacher #yogateachertraining
