This week Marc Settembrino joins Jivana for a powerful conversation about living in a larger body, reclaiming the word "fat," righteous anger, and the disconnect between capitalism and the yogic teachings. Marc is a fat-queer educator, researcher, and yoga facilitator based in Hammond, LA, who envisions a world that celebrates diversity and promotes dignity. In 2018 Marc created Fat Kid Yoga Club, a supportive yoga community for folks with larger bodies to explore joyful movement and celebrate what is possible in their bodies one practice at a time. Marc describes their experience living in a larger body, how fat folks are often objectified simply for existing, and how asana helped inspire their teaching philosophy: to hold space for people to move their bodies freely and experience them in a way that is not attached to shame. Jivana and Marc also take a deep dive into the harmful impact of diet culture in Western or "American" yoga and discuss the problematic nature of our modern-day yoga mat.

Ep 16: Marc Settembrino

Glenys and Aaron welcome Dr. Marc Settembrino to the podcast to talk about his experience with becoming a yogi and creating inclusive yoga classes through Fat Kid Yoga Club. Marc discussed:-how yoga helped him feel better in difficult times-how there is no wrong way to do yoga-the intersection of LGBTQ+ and fat identities-letting your body be the guide in how you adapt yoga for you Marc began practicing yoga in 2015. As a fat, queer, yoga practitioner, they understand that starting a new yoga practice can be intimidating. Therefore, they create inclusive yoga classes that are accessible to every-body, regardless of size, shape, age, strength, or flexibility. Their work has been featured by OM Yoga Magazine and Yoga Journal and they're a SuperFit Hero Body Positive Fitness provider. They earned their Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Central Florida in 2013.
