I Felt at Home in It: Alli Simon
Manage episode 323723825 series 2715746
I approached Alli for this interview as a fan and really loved meditating with her during the pandemic. During this interview we talked about what it is like for Alli to be a queer, larger bodied, POC in the wellness industry, endometriosis, her relationship with a queer femme identity as someone who grew up as a tomboy and how a meditation practice helped her navigate significant traumatic loss and much more.
Alli Simon (she/her) is a certified yoga and meditation facilitator from Los Angeles. She commits her energy to working with nonprofits dedicated to systems change and community wellness. What began as a personal journey to heal from loss and trauma, led to sharing her practice with loved ones and eventually throughout her community. She believes in increasing access to self-care practices and community-based initiatives by using tools like meditation and yoga, to help foster a more connected and loving world.
Alli is the Wellbeing and Healing Justice Manager for Social Justice Partners LA. She currently facilitates meditation on Ope_n, a mindfulness platform and with local LA community spaces like The Underground Museum and Compound. Her story was featured for Athleta ‘Home Again’, and shared a 4-part wellness module for the recently launched adidas Community Platform.
