Manage episode 430843126 series 3588856
This week we’re joined by Flexibility with Vera as she shares her experiences with movement, including her exploration of pole dancing and navigating movement in a plus-size body. We challenge the misconception that weight loss is a prerequisite for fitness and flexibility, emphasizing the importance of embracing one's body regardless of size. Vera offers invaluable insights on overcoming societal barriers and discusses strategies to stop letting body size hinder personal fitness goals. Additionally, we explore the significance of flexibility training and confront weight stigma prevalent in gym environments. Join us as we break down stereotypes, shatter limitations, and empower listeners to embrace movement in all its forms.
Vera is a Toronto-based personal trainer and flexibility coach who is working to create a space in the fitness industry beyond weight loss, diet culture, and fatphobia. Their platform, Flexibility with Vera, aims to help people worldwide discover body-neutral movement.
