Exercise is political, with Donna Noble
In this episode, we explore the intersection of politics, exercise, and social justice with Donna Noble, the inspiring Founder of CurvesomeYoga and a leading advocate for body positivity and inclusivity in wellness.
Donna has been a yoga teacher since 2011, teaching all over the UK, India, and the US, and is known for her immersive yoga experiences that prove everyBODY is a yoga body. She’s also the author of Teaching Body Positive Yoga, a Wellbeing Coach, and a public speaker with over 20 years of corporate experience, bringing a unique perspective to wellness for high-achievers. Her work has been featured in Dazed Magazine, The Guardian, Women’s Health Online, and more. And it is Donna’s mission is to make yoga and wellbeing accessible, diverse, and meaningful for everyone.
Donna discusses how exercise is inherently political, addressing the barriers women and minority groups face in accessing wellness due to societal pressures, racial identity, and capitalism. We delve into the disparities in exercise participation and how these inequalities affect women's health. Donna shares her journey in making yoga inclusive and accessible for all body types and advocates for body positivity. She also provides insights into creating safe, judgment-free spaces in yoga and emphasises the importance of nonviolence and compassion in both personal and social contexts.
Tune in for a transformative conversation about the political dimensions of exercise and the power of slow movement and self-acceptance in a fast-paced world.
