Summary

Leading up to brand-new episodes of Unladylike, we’re hitting replay on four of our top (and most timely) episodes from the archive. Today, C&C stretch it out and revisit this episode from 2018.

Body-positive yoga icon Jessamyn Stanley shares her journey to finding her yoga body and claiming her space on the mat as a fat, queer, black woman. Cristen and Caroline also unpack the claptrap of why yoga has become an aspirational whitewashed lifestyle and what that means for the women who need yoga the most.

Unladylike: A Field Guide to Smashing the Patriarchy and Claiming Your Space is available now, wherever books and audiobooks are sold. Signed copies are available at podswag.com/unladylike. Follow Unladylike on social @unladylikemedia. Subscribe to our newsletter at unladylike.co/newsletter.
