Plus-size yoga, getting in touch with your body, and preventing migraines with gentle movement, all on the first episode of the Bawdy Love podcast.
Devastated by the sickening pain of low self-esteem, warped body image & dizzying migraines, Anna Guest-Jelley used yoga to reconnect with and repair her relationship with her body. Now, by using her light-hearted, spirited approach to serious topics, Anna helps others around the globe do the same through her Curvy Yoga programs.
In our very first episode, Anna and I talk about using yoga to connect with your body and send it love. We discuss how yoga helped me through my grief, and how Anna overcame her body image issues through simple, gentle movement.
