This week we are joined by co-founder of The Underbelly, yoga teacher, and body positivity advocate, Jessamyn Stanley. Jessamyn shares the difference between body positivity vs. body neutrality, how body positivity can turn toxic (and how to combat it), and gives us the awesome story behind her naked yoga practice. We all get vulnerable in this episode about our bodies, self-image, and our personal evolution to self-acceptance. If you’re tired of toxic positivity, tune in!
