Jessamyn Stanley (IG) is one of my favorite inspiring women, that I have had the pleasure of knowing and following throughout her journey.

We recently both spent the day at a Manduka (IG) event, and finally got to connect! Having extremely similar views on who yoga is marketed to, and how those people look and are shaped, led us to engaging in some great conversations. I’m so proud she is open about starting a dialogue that matters, and that yoga needs. 

The messaging behind #DontGetBentOutOfShape, is that of stopping the body obsessing and showing up…to practice and to life. Showing up and being seen. It’s a vulnerable move that many are still too scared to do…but Jessamyn, myself, and many others are here to show you that yoga is for everyone in a real, authentic, and approachable way. Body acceptance is for everyone, too!
