Podcast appearances and mentions of anna guest jelley

Show notes: https://www.tamihackbarth.com/blog/episode-235 This week in the 2024 Summer Podcast Series we are headed way into the archives back to episode 15 of the 100% Guilt-Free Self-Care podcast:  Body Acceptance, Body Neutrality and Yoga for Those That Think It Isn't For Them with Anna Guest-Jelley. While I was first introduced to the idea of function over form in my late 20s, I still suffered from internal battles about beauty standards and our cultural obsession with thinness. It was the 90s and early 2000s when heroin chic was a thing. It wasn't until I got into my serious yoga practice in my late 30s that I began noticing again the functionality of my body. Some days I could do endless Sun salutations and other days I could barely get off the floor.  Thankfully the studio where I was practicing was one that asked us to practice self-compassion and acceptance while we were on the mat. Anna was one of the people who I connected with online. She had been using yoga as a tool to relieve her frequent migraines.  She has always lived in a bigger body and finding a safe place to practice was a challenge. So she created her own.

This week's episode has a special guest: Melanie Klein. A sought after empowerment coach, thought leader and influencer in the areas of body confidence, authentic empowerment and visibility. Melanie is also a successful and highly acclaimed writer, speaker and professor of sociology and women's studies. So without further ado, I am so excited for this episode with Melanie Klein. Hosts: Nick and Kisma Special Guest: Melanie Klein 04:40 The First Connection  I kind of want to give our listeners a little about story. Melanie, we met almost two years ago at an event. Melanie has this essence about her. She's very beautiful. There was something about her as a woman that was so captivating, a softness and a strength. Then I found out that you were very much involved in the yoga world… which made since to why there was a connection! Your yoga history, when did that start for you? Were you young or did it come about? Like in college? When did you find yoga? KISMA 05:02 - Perceptions  So I'm totally going to answer that question after I say it's funny to hear you reflect what you saw when you saw me the first time. Later in the episode we are going to talk about how we see ourselves versus how others see us. Because what you described is how I saw you..in fact, as much as people may see me as what you described or potentially grounded or empowered,  I'm still a human and I have my vulnerable parts and there are people who intimidate me and I remember seeing you and feeling a little intimidated. Melanie 07:22 - Yoga Beginnings The yoga question that you posed, I'd say is one half of the biggest part of my empowerment equation. In my early twenties and coming from a pretty granola family, things like yoga or spirituality were not foreign to me at all. Especially as an artist and poet, the connection that we tap into to Source when we are creative. All of those things were part of growing up, not to mention, having a very nature-based experience as a young girl living in Germany… Melanie 09:10 “I had no clue what to expect” I ended up in Kundalini class at this community college extension through this community college extension program in this old stinky fitness center on the side of the railroad tracks with these outdated, big fitness mats. We sat down and my teacher had the white turban outfit and I was like, oh, this is going to be interesting. I had no clue what to expect. Over the next few weeks my sister and I (who I was going to this class with) just kept going, and inviting others to go… this was 1996.  There were 15 to 20 people in the class, which was a lot and really weird for Kundalini yoga. Melanie 13:48  I know you've heard us talk about this, but there will be a calling, you know, whether it's intuition, whether it's a guide from the universe or God or source. I mean, my first yoga class kind of happened the same way I was living in Hong Kong. And one of my good friends said, “Hey, there's this really new yoga studio open in long Kwai Fong, let's go”.   I was so not committed, but I went to this class, it was all Indian teachers and here I am,with these beautiful Asian flexible women. I'll never forget, I think it was master, he said sit Lotus Style.  I crossed my legs and my knees are pointing to the ceiling. He looked at me in front of the whole class and say’s “what's the matter with your hips?” It was like, I don't know, you tell me. So it was like really frightening that. But the next day I remember feeling the same way. I felt different. And so I think that's when we do like we know we've just entered a practice where something has shifted and it's so important to stay with that. KISMA 15:11 - Full Circle Connection Not only do I love your story because I can relate to it for so many reasons, but also it's kind of a foreshadowing of I'm sure what we'll dig into here about the work I do around making yoga accessible for everybody and making everyone feel it's for them because like you said, stepping into something that you knew was going to essentially be a game changer for you without even knowing why or how. Melanie 32:21 - Women's Empowerment and Men My question for you is about this, I think in a lot of ways in women's empowerment there's something there for guys too, that can tip over into  feminization of the man. And I'm wondering if you can talk a little bit about those dynamics and it's like, how does everybody win in that conversation in your mind? Nick There's a lot to be said and what you just shared, Nick. A few things I want to say about that is we have to also understand, especially in the last three or four years, we have had an another massive backlash that we're currently in. So if we're looking at the second wave of feminism or what most people know is the women's liberation movement, which also coincided with the civil rights movement and the black liberation movement. And also known as the peace movement... (listen in to get the rest of Melanie's answer to this question!) 49:52 - Get to Know Melanie Give our listeners just a place where they can go and find you. I mean, what I love about Melanie, what she does for herself, she does for other women and, and this essence of empowerment has so many facets to it. So what's the best way or where do you want to direct our listeners? KISMA Melanie C.

In today’s episode Anna touches upon so many of my favorite topics – including how accepting our bodies is not in fact the death sentence so many of us worry that it might be, but instead is a pathway towards greater levels of growth grounded in self-love. I have been lucky to have known Anna since the very inception of Curvy Yoga, and I never cease to be inspired by her gentle, kind, and deeply powerful approach to accepting the body that you are in right now.     See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I heard my friend Anna say, “telling students to love their body is not enough....” and I responded with, “please be a guest on the podcast so we can talk about this!” I wanted to ask her, “How can yoga teachers better support their students to be in a loving relationship with their body?”   Anna Guest-Jelley is the founder of Curvy Yoga, an online yoga studio and teacher training center that helps people of all sizes find true acceptance and freedom, both on and off the mat. Anna is the author of Curvy Yoga: Love Yourself & Your Body a Little More Each Day and the co-editor of Yoga and Body Image: 25 Personal Stories About Beauty, Bravery & Loving Your Body. In today's podcast episode Anna and I talk about: What Real Body Love looks like for her right now. Anna's favorite practical ways to take care of herself. How Anna's yoga practice changed her relationship with her body. How teaching yoga changed her relationship with her body in a different way. The kind of language that's important to keep in mind to make sure group yoga classes are inclusive for people in all bodies.

If you’ve been following along with Season One of this podcast, or even if you just saw the name “Fearless Self-Love Podcast,” it’s pretty clear that we focus on topics of self-love and self-care. But it’s important to acknowledge that we’re all at different points in our self-love journeys, and sometimes it can be difficult to figure out where to start. I’m excited for you to join me in my conversation with Cate Stillman, Yoga Health Coach, as we wrap up Season One by discussing what comes first - the habits or the self-love - and how to move forward no matter where we are in our journey.

Kat and Kyle chat with Anna Guest-Jelley, the founder of Curvy Yoga. Anna shares her story—what inspired her to begin teaching and, ultimately, to found Curvy Yoga. She also offers tips for creating a sustainable home practice, accepting your body, and more.

We're practicing yoga daily the month of September to explore how yoga can help you connect to your body through breath and build the self-compassion you need to live with Body Kindness. (Important reminder: Connection is one of the three Body Kindness pillars… Connection to your body and connection to other people, places, and things that make up your world.) Anna Guest Jelley has connected yoga to many people who would have otherwise found yoga to be "not for them" because a crucial need was not met -- the instructors were not teaching for all sizes. Anna is a she-ro of mine because she saw a problem and addressed it. BOOM! Curvy Yoga was born! Tune in to hear us discuss the powers of movement that has nothing to do with weight loss. We chat about the value of creating spaces where weight loss talk is off the table -- even if people really are hoping to change their bodies. Finally, we discuss why connection is essential to help us get to know ourselves and our patterns that can help reduce judgments and shame. After listening to this show, you'll understand how the right fit yoga classes and experiences can absolutely open you up to reframing how movement fits into your life, the reasons why you move, and how you can show up for your body with compassion.

Ooh, I loved getting to talk with Anna Guest-Jelley, founder of Curvy Yoga, for this week. We talked about so much good stuff: embodiment, spirituality, business evolution, creative instincts, body acceptance, permission. All of it around how to move forward when you know there's something more for you. And while it's easy to only think about evolution when you hit a place of burnout, it's actually critical to realize that - in creativity - we're all evolving all the time. So, yay! Evolution is exciting! Oh, and it happens whether we realize it or not, so let's all get in the driver's seat, eh?

Do you struggle with body image? Are you trying to find body peace, and to let go of body expectations? Listen now for some experiments to get through this part of the food peace journey. Subscribe and leave a review here in just seconds. This episode is brought to you by Pursuing Private Practice Masterclass. Ready to start doing things your way and kiss the corporate world goodbye? Details here and remember the super secret discount code BOSS for 10% off. Episode's Key Points: Making peace with food comes down to accepting ourselves! This includes accepting our needs and accepting the space we take up in the world. Our bodies are NOT meant to be controlled!! They will change constantly as we get older. Rosie Molinary joins to talk about body image! We ALL have something unique to offer the world. So much of our pain is related to our lack of awareness around our own self-worth. We are all fighting for our worth! Remember, our worth isn't rooted in our appearance. So how do we find our worthiness outside of our earth suit? We must remind ourselves that we are worthy simply by EXISTING! We pour energy and money into how we physically look in order to feel accepted... but this removes resources from experiences in our lives that might have the potential to EMPOWER us instead of disempower us. Diet culture and the beauty ideal PROFIT off of our insecurities. Self-acceptance is a journey!! All experiences are moments of information, rather than moments for judgment. Get curious! Unpack the internalized messages we have been taught about appearance and self-worth. We have to accept that our bodies ALWAYS change... so we can't attach our worth to one stagnant version of our bodies, because that will always be in flux. Imperfect cannot exist if there's no "perfect" in the first place... resist messaging around "effortless" perfection! The images we see of our world in the media are NOT REAL! We have to anchor our faith and belief in ourselves to how we FEEL, rather than how we look. Shaming ourselves NEVER works! It's actually very damaging, and it's not health promoting... we have to operate from a place of self-acceptance instead. Remember, self-acceptance doesn't mean that you don't want to grow in some way. But it does assert your worthiness RIGHT NOW, no matter what growth you achieve down the line. We're the experts of our own bodies! Self-acceptance is a super ACTIVE process. How do we give ourselves what we need every single day?
