Auganti „Instagram“ žvaigždė trenerė įrodo, kad joga skirta visiems

Augantis Jessamyn populiarumas „Instagram“ parodo, kad šiame pasaulyje yra dar daug žmonių, kurie kitus vertina ne (tik) pagal išvaizdą. Šiuo metu jogos trenerės paskyrą seka daugiau nei 240 tūkst. gerbėjų.

Kad įrodytų, jog ji didžiuojasi savo netradicinėmis kūno formomis, ir paskatintų tai daryti ir kitas moteris, Jessamyn dažniausiai pozuoja apsirengusi tik sportinius apatinius arba su sportine liemenėle ir jogos tamprėmis. Moters nuotraukose – įvairiausios sudėtingos jozos pozos ir... šypsena.

I almost cried during my interview with @selfmagazine when they asked about my experience with self hate- honestly, it's bizarre to me that I'm perceived as such a confident person when I spent such a huge chunk of my life buried under truly toxic body shame. And it's not like those feelings have completely dissipated- just like anyone, I have ups and downs. And I always roll my eyes whenever people draw the conclusion that yoga is the source of my body confidence. I mean, Instagram is littered with proof that an aggressive yoga asana practice can unintentionally sow the seeds of body negativity. But there's no doubt that yoga has made me stronger- but the physical strength isn't really the point, is it?

I only ever want to practice in my underroos and when the #teamSELF crew said "...are you cool with wearing this?" I almost started frothing at the mouth from excitement. THIS IS WHAT FAT GIRLS WANT. ????????)

„Health.com“ žurnalistė, apsilankiusi vienoje iš Jessamyn vedamų jogos pamokų, ne tik susižavėjo trenere, bet ir pakalbino ją.

Jessamyn, beje, pasižymi ir geru humoro jausmu. Kaip prisipažino jauna moteris, jei joga būtų žmogus, ji ištekėtų už jos ir susilauktų vaikų, mat joga jos gyvenime užima ypatingą vietą.

Jessamyn teigia mėgstanti sudėtingesnes jogos pozas (kurios iš pažiūros gali pasirodyti gana lengvos), bet ne dėl to, kad galėtų patenkinti savo ego, o dėl to, kad jai tai įdomu.

Jogė taip pat priduria, kad nenori būti talpinama į kokius nors rėmus, ir nori parodyti, kad ir kiti neturi atitikti visuomenės nustatytų standartų, kad būtų laimingi.

I talk about defying yoga stereotypes in a new video for @glamourmag. To watch the full thing, check out Glamour.com (link in bio)! Also, I am taking over the @glamourmag snapchat today- my life is totally unlike the polished & pretty yoga teacher lifestyle, so I'm pretty stoked to show y'all what it's like to practice, teach, and live yoga when you're a curvy fat #qpoc femme in the American South. It's going down at 10am EST- Follow @glamourmag on snap (same name) to catch all the action!

Paklausta, kodėl taip mėgsta jogą, jauna moteris atsako, kad dėl to, jog joga pakeitė jos gyvenimą. Jessamyn sirgo depresija ir visą gyvenimą svajojo numesti svorio, „būti sveika“, tačiau šiam tikslui pasiekti ji neskyrė tikros energijos, tai buvo daugiau liūdesys, skausmas – dėl visko. Ir būtent joga iš viso šito liūno ją ištraukė. Taip pat padėjo priimti tai, kad kartais pasitaiko momentų, kai atrodo, jog nebegali visko pakelti, ir kad tokių momentų dar bus, toks gyvenimas. Bet nereikia galvoti, kad tai – jau pabaiga.

I went on a self-love date with myself during my #sponsored @evenhotels Brooklyn stay and it was one of my most intimate date nights of 2016. Forget candlelit dinners and nights at the opera- I spent much of the night in the #evenhotels in-house gym. There are two floors and I was like a kid in a candy store as I tried out machines that usually give me the heeby jeebys. plus I conquered my fear of being in the free weights area without feeling like a dorky misfit. I followed up the gym date time with a sushi feast + a luxurious shower in my room’s unit that could’ve fit two people. And once I pulled down the black-out curtains and slipped into the custom designed bed, I promptly fell into a sleep known only to Rip Van Winkle. Seriously- self-love is the best love, and that date gave truer affection than another person ever could.

Tai, kad moteris neatrodo kaip tradicinė jogė, yra bene pagrindinė priežastis, kodėl ji nusprendė tapti jogos trenere. Ir, Jessamyn manymu, nuostabu, kad paneigti stereotipus ji gali socialiniuose tinkluose, kurie yra viešai prieinami visiems.

„Galiausiai mes nesistengiame būti populiariais, mes tiesiog stengiamės būti savimi. Ir jeigu gali įkvėpti kitus žmones taip daryti, tai nuostabu“, – teigia ji „Health.com“.

Tonight I went back to #bikramyoga for the first time in ages. IDK why I've been a stranger for so long- maybe I was subconsciously throwing shade because of the infamous scandal. God, I hope that's not it. I love the fuck out of that practice, regardless of the namesake's shenanigans. And I hate how Modern Yoga practitioners are so damn quick to start a witch hunt whenever one of us acts like....well, acts like a human. I know this is up for debate, but there's not a hierarchy to humanity. Not one of us is above the other. We all have the capacity to act like douche monkeys. And just because Bikram may or may not have acted like a douche monkey doesn't mean that his beginner series isn't therapeutic yoga magic. I mean, from start to finish- magic. No matter your weight, age, height, political affiliation, Olympic home team, WHATEVER- don't miss an opportunity to give it a try. It will kick the shit out of you, hang your ass out to dry, & you'll be pulling an Oliver Twist like, "Please sir, may I have some more?" There's a variation of this pose (#natarajasana) in the Bikram sequence- when ya girl first darkened the doorstep of a Bikram studio, I couldn't even reach my foot with my hand. It seemed like a miracle when I was finally able to do that one singular action. For some people it's basic as fuck- for yours truly, it was MONUMENTAL as fuck. It's insane to me that I'm casually striking #dancerpose on the cover of @fabuplus this month- this asana was and is like my own little building. Always adding pieces, always learning, always getting stronger- just gotta keep working on that building. If you're like me and you need to find a few copies of this magazine, you can get it at @barnesandnoble & @booksamillion on Sept. 1. Someone tell my mom before she goes out to get it right now.

Jessamyn pasakoja, kad geriausiai savo kūne jaučiasi tuomet, kai negalvoja, ką apie ją mano kiti.

„Mūsų gyvenime tiek daug užima svarstymai, ką šis žmogus galvoja apie mane ir kaip aš galiu paveikti jo nuomonę. Ir, nepaisant to, kad aš pasitikiu savimi, šis mąstymas nepranyksta. Tačiau tos akimirkos, kai aš gerai jaučiuosi būdama savimi, yra neįkainojamos; tai auksas. Ir norėčiau paskleisti šią žinią kiekvienam pasaulio žmogui.“

Throwback to making serious yoga face during my awesome @fullbeautystyle classes last week- and, when it comes right down to it, isn't yoga face kinda what it's all about? You know, I don't think of myself as a yogi. In fact, I don't think I've ever referred to myself with that term. Using it has always felt mildly disrespectful to me, like I'm not worthy of such an auspicious title. Obviously, the same goes for calling my teachers the word 'guru'- in my opinion, these words carry much more weight than Westerners are usually able to understand, and I respectfully agree to disagree with anyone who feels differently. In my mind, I'm just a yoga practitioner who is lucky enough to teach the practice she lives- it's nothing more, and nothing less. I don't think any of us need to be the Jane Fonda of yoga or even a post 2nd wave feminist version of Bikram Choudury . We don't have to be thin, but we also don't have to be fat. We don't have to be a specific color or commit to a specific style of eating. We don't have to be anyone other than ourselves. We don't have to be anything but present in our daily lives. We don't have to do anything but learn from our missteps and become stronger as a result. And that's yoga. That's what yoga ACTUALLY is. Anything else is....straight up shenanigans, basically. Also, YES THAT'S @amandakater! #partner #beplayFULL #fullbeautySPORT #OwnYourCurves #fullbeaut

Jogos trenerė prisipažįsta norinti turėti galimybę atsigręžti atgal ir sau, jaunai merginai, kuri turėjo kūno atvaizdo suvokimo sutrikimų, pasakyti, kad „nereikia galvoti, ką kiti pamanys apie tave, svarbu tai, ką pati galvoji apie save. Ir nebūk apsėsta tokių minčių. Visuomet gyvenk ir stenkis siekti šios šviesos, gyvenk pasikliaudama savo tiesa. Ir kol tą darai, visiškai nesvarbu, ką kiti galvoja apie tave.“
