Жительница американского штата Северная Каролина прославилась в социальных сетях благодаря тому, что ее пышные формы не мешают ей заниматься йогой. Женщина ведет страницу в Instagram, где показывает свои тренировки, пишет Daily Mail.
28-летняя Джессамайн Стенли (Jessamyn Stanley) призывает своих подписчиков отказаться от стереотипов, связанных с полными людьми. Она борется за то, чтобы слово «толстый» перестало ассоциироваться с оскорблением. По словам гуру йоги, она не стесняется называть себя тучной, потому что не считает это грубостью. Женщина также ведет занятия по йоге, работает адвокатом и трудится над своей первой книгой.
London, I will miss you so much. I'm a terrible networker and therefore had fabulous life changing connections with a lot of cool people and didn't bother to exchange contact info. So if you're one of those people & perhaps we split an Uber pool at 4am or cried together after a yoga class or acted completely ridiculous outside a pub in the wee hours or chuckled about the meaning of art at the @National_Gallery or acted really nerdy outside Privet Drive at @wbtourlondon or whatever the fuck, this is my way of saying "IT WAS DOPE AS HELL TO MEET YOU." For real- trust me, I'll be back. ✌🏾️🇬🇧❤️✈️💋 See y'all tomorrow, Dubai- if you're in the UAE, I'll be teaching classes at @voyogauae all weekend- click the link in my Instagram header for more info!
And if you're sitting at home with a powerful case of wanderlust and want to live vicariously through my international adventures, follow me on snapchat- I'm @mynameisjessamy and trust me, I am living the American stereotype all over the place and giving no fucks whatsoever.💯✈️💯 Throwback to that time I practiced my #hanumanasana game in the shadow of epic architecture on the Millenium Bridge.

I am leaving for London tomorrow and I'm scared. I know some people grew up traveling to far away places, but that wasn't my life at all. Unlike a lot of jetsetting yoga practitioners, I didn't grow up with a silver spoon. My parents are hard workers who celebrated having a little extra cash by taking me and my brother out to dinner at Golden Corral, not jetsetting off to Europe. And now I'm going on the longest plane ride of my life to a place that is literally the furthest I've ever been from home. And I'm scared. I'm almost thirty, and I'm scared to go this far from home. It feels cathartic to admit it, actually. But fear is a really powerful emotion. It's telling, actually- every time I'm really afraid of something, it's usually an indication that I should try to do it. Crossing boundaries and leaping hurdles is scary as fuck, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. You never go anywhere if you don't "go" anywhere, right?
This photo is a throwback to a shoot I did over a year ago with the amazingly talented @paulsundayphoto- so much has changed since this photo was taken, but somehow everything is basically the same. My practice hasn't changed- my love for #yoga has never wavered. But have I been jaded by the fuckery of the Western yoga world? Yeah, that's a definite possibility. I'm grateful for THAT change, though- taking off my rose tinted glasses has made the future way more clear. Not crystal clear, but….you get what you need not want, right?
International travel virginity fear aside, I'm stoked to see you this weekend, @hotyogasociety1! I am so excited to meet you guys- I'm teaching on three different days and I think there are a few spots available throughout the weekend- check out jessamynstanley.com/tour for registration info!
Also, I'll be a guest on my boo @sofiehagendk & @dfdubz's live podcast, #TheGuiltyFeminist on March 10th at Canal Cafe Theatre! If you're in town and you'd like to join us for some hilarious but woke feminist dialogue about all corners of the body positivity conversation, check out my facebook page (I'm Jessamyn Stanley over there) for the event + ticket info!
Also,see you at noon tomorrow, @durhamyoga 💋

В мае 2016 года американка, мечтавшая стать балериной, но бросившая училище из-за склонности к полноте, стала любимицей пользователей Instagram после того, как начала публиковать на своей странице в соцсети фото и видео, на которых она в пачке и на пуантах. 30-летняя Илиана Вера танцует в стиле «бурлеск», со временем женщина стала использовать в своих выступлениях балетные па.
