Today I’m honored to be talking with Amber Karnes, founder of Body Positive Yoga.

Amber is a pioneer in the yoga industry, challenging the norms around what yoga is, how bodies are represented and creating a space for inclusion and accessibility. 

Here are some highlights from this amazing conversation: 

• Reframing body image away from being about how you look and towards what your beliefs are about yourself

• Using movement as a way to reconnect and access your body in a positive way

• Taking away the negative connotation around using the word fat

• Amber’s personal story of living in a bigger body, coping with negative self talk and finding her place in a yoga class
  
  
• Creating awareness around our intrinsic and cultural biases against fat people
  
  
• How Amber creates and holds space as a yoga teacher for people who don’t fit the marketing norms of yoga
