Representation matters - and for far too long yoga has been lacking in just that. Often portrayed online and in the media, by only one demographic of people (i.e. skinny, white women), yoga teacher Saisha Lacon is here to prove that it’s not just for everyone- it’s for every BODY as well.
In today’s episode, Sharon sits down with Saisha as they discuss:
If you’ve ever been hesitant to practice yoga in the past, not sure if it was right for you because of your shape, size, or ability- we would encourage you to try it. Yoga is not for only one type of person and it is definitely not for just one type of body. It never has been and it never will be.
As Saisha says, “Believe in yourself enough to start... believe that you are worth it, that it is worth your time to reflect on yourself. Take that time for yourself.”
We couldn’t agree more.
