REMY KASSIMIR
About this episode

Why do people feel the need to comment on "unhealthy bodies" when they don't comment on health elsewhere? This week we are joined by award-winning yoga instructor, entrepreneur, and author Jessamyn Stanley talking body diversity in yoga, overcoming imposter syndrome, and the journey to self-acceptance.

Jessamyn also tells about growing up in the Bahá’í faith, what coming out to her family was like, and why she transitioned from being a religious person to being a spiritual one.
