Go to the YouTube comments on yoga instructor Jessamyn Stanley's most recent Gatorade commercial, and there are people from all over the world having a conversation on whether or not she should be moving the way that she does, critiquing her size and clothing options. It's nothing new to Stanley, who — as a "queer, fat, yogi" (her words, not mine) has learned to overlook the hate from others in pursuit of helping individuals everywhere feel more comfortable moving their body.

For episode 264, she talks about the hilarious way she first experienced yoga, and why she decided to start an OnlyFans account to do it naked not all that long ago. Plus: A special conversation on accepting what is, commiserating about our experiences on WW as teenagers, and what it's like to be at the forefront of the body liberation movement.
