(Replay) Donna Noble: Healing myself with yoga
This week I’ve decided to replay one of my most listened to episodes - Its with the fabulous Donna Noble!
Donna Noble is a master yogic practitioner and founder of Curvesome Yoga, a place for people to enjoy yoga regardless of size, ability or colour. 15 years ago Donna was a very different lady, running herself ragged with a highly stressful job in the City of London that culminated with her contracting Bell's Palsy (Bell's palsy is a temporary weakness or lack of movement affecting 1 side of your face. Symptoms of Bell's palsy include weakness on 1 side of your face, a drooping eyelid or corner of your mouth.
It was through yoga that she initially allowed herself to heal and rebuild her life, on a journey that took her to LA and back to London, where she became a pioneer of the body-positive movement.
I'm replaying this episode from season 2 ( wayyyy back in the summer of 2020) as Donna has a wonderful book out: Teaching Body Positive Yoga: A Guide to Inclusivity, Language and Props. With practical tips, as well as information on social justice and body-positive yoga off the mat, Teaching Body Positive Yoga is a well-rounded resource that gives yoga teachers the confidence to host inclusive and welcoming classes for all. Donna is truly leading the way to ensure that yoga is available to every-BODY, regardless of age, size, ethnicity, ability or gender.
