Intentional Well-Being Podcast: Body Inclusivity
In this episode, I get to talk to Jessica Lin, a Taiwanese Chinese American living in Southern California who has spent the past 15 years in holistic health and advocating for decolonization in the yoga communities.
She speaks on how accessibility goes far beyond just language; it includes disabilities, income level, and includes attention to trauma.
Diane presents the idea that it is important to highlight voices other than our own. And as a member of this community, it will always be valuable for you and your students to “Stop, Listen, and Learn.”
