Quick news - If you want to work with me in the fitness space - Virtual Run Club enrollment opens Monday and my Self Paced Series also go on a little fall sale on Monday as well, to assist the people who like to take part in both :)

I’m also teaching a special Master Class version of the Monthly Fascia Release™ workshop tomorrow Sat, Sept 21st 4-5:15PM EST all about POSTURE - sitting standing and walking posture. We will do all our self massage love but we will also tie it into our daily life skeletal structure. Don’t miss it if you’ve ever had complaints about your own posture 💖

The Episode:

I'm so excited to finally have this episode out. Alex Auder is an actor, a writer and an incredible Yoga Teacher, part of a very specific OG niche of the NY Yoga scene. Her book, Don't Call Me Home is out now.

This episode gets both personal and very NY-yoga-world-insider-y as she and I reminisce about our beginnings in the movement world, the loose boundaries of our childhood upbringings, and a topic I've been desperate to discuss - how any of us can practice Yoga when pretty much every major Yoga teacher has been "Me-too-ed".

Also please forgive that the first 20 minutes of the episode, Alex's mic wasn't connecting so she sounds a bit muffled, my producer hopped on and fixed it, and the rest of the interview she's crystal clear.

Alex is a brilliant, hilarious, wonderful guest and the author of the memoir, Don't Call Me Home. I highly recommend it and her extremely rare classes that pop up at Kula Yoga. You can also follow Alex on her Instagram account where hopefully she will grace us with more performance art soon.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. As always please subscribe, like, share and leave a review. It helps get this podcast listened to.

Welcome to this week’s Busy Body Podcast episode!

Today I'm speaking with Chef and Author Julia Turshen

On this episode Julia and I discuss her new found love of strength training and competing. She wrote about in depth about it in her beautiful essay, curated and edited by Roxanne Gay and Everand Originals, entitled Built For This: The Quiet Strength of Powerlifting. You can read it HERE.

We had such a lovely, insightful conversation about what 'fitness' means, listening to our bodies, and the connection through movement that is possible for us all.

On the newest episode of BUSY BODY, I interview Marina Hayes, founder of Peridot Robes who's company tagline is PROUD FAT SUPREMACISTS! 💘. Peridot Robes is a Fat-Femme Owned and Operated company right down to the seamstresses and is made in LA from remnant fabric. On this episode we hear about the origins of a company created originally to provide the fat community with well fitting and sexy bathrobes ( the brand now includes dresses, caftans ,crop tops and a super cool shoulder bag made especially for large bodies people!) We discuss the power of creating a size exclusive (14-40 ) brand and the misconceptions and mistakes made in so much of plus size clothing production.

I can't wait to have Marina back to talk more about her activism.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
