In this episode, Karin welcomes Allé K (he/him), a queer, fat, trans masc activist, educator and certified Yoga Instructor providing LGBTQIA+ inclusive, trauma-informed, fat positive yoga classes online. Yoga is a liberatory practice and shares healing practices for our collective liberation. Allé’s work is based in his experience working through his own trauma and grief; the understanding of self care as vital for the collective good. Allé is a spaceholder, a connector and a disruptor.

Join Karin and Allé for a discussion on the assumption that restriction is “just what women do,” the importance of working with a queer and trans affirming and informed professionals, distinguishing body dysmorphia from gender dysphoria, the harm in reluctance to admit privilege, moving past the shame that can come with eating in front of others, the challenges those in larger bodies face when excluded from the norm, respecting the voice of those who spread fat/trans/masc visibility, the benefits of trans affirming yoga, and much more!
