In need of some support? Try your yoga mat– it’s always there for you – FIT IS A FEMINIST ISSUE

Nutrition & Wellness


Today I was planning to post about health information and the changes to our access in the past 13 days (since Donald Trump was inaugurated as President of the United States). And that post is coming– you deserve to be informed and supported by responsible folks writing for all audiences.

But it’s proving disheartening. I’m appalled and sick with worry over the fate of all of those in need of healthcare and all those working in healthcare whose jobs may be cut for no good reason. So I’m taking a breath. But know this, dear readers– we are here to witness and report and encourage and share what we know and what we’re doing. And we’re always happy to hear from you– your concerns, fears, plans, and needs.

So, while I get this post together (the first of many for the next four years), here’s a reblog of a post I wrote about feeling supported on my yoga mat. Yoga, for me, is a comfort and support, whether actively moving, opening up in a yin pose, or in rest during yoga nidra. So take a look. And if you feel like it, let me know what you’re doing today to get some support what we all really need.

I’m a feminist public health ethicist (yes, that’s a thing). I’m interested in heath behavior change, particularly around eating and activity, and how things other than knowledge affect our health decisions.I’m also a cyclist (road, sort-of-off-road, commuter), regular yoga-doer, occasional swimmer and kayaker and leisurely social walker.
