Non-Diet Yogi
Non-Diet Yogi explores and dismantles the world of #BigWellness, where yoga, spirituality, fitness, diet culture, white supremacy and toxic female entrepreneurship collide in a dizzying spectacle of goji berries and designer mala beads.This podcast is for you if you - love yoga, but don’t always love yoga culture - wish to form a deeper connection with your body and with the natural world around you, minus the wellness wankery - are tired of the classism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, fat phobia and other threads of white supremacy woven throughout #BigWellness. Hosted by Casey Conroy, non-diet dietitian, naturopath in training, and yoga teacher.
