14 - Celebrating Your Health: Ivory Howard

Have you ever felt pressure to “fit in” in a yoga or pilates class? Ivory Howard shares the importance of inclusivity and welcoming diversity in physical fitness. Ivory Howard is a certified yoga and pilates instructor with a Master of Public Health and an advanced training in plant-based nutrition. Ivory understands that everyone's relationship with health and wellness is different, and she seeks to honor that with her work. She's been seen in US News & World Report, Health Digest, Fit & Well, Weight Watchers, The Zoe Report, Sisters from AARP, and other publications for helping others achieve their health and fitness goals. In this episode Ivory talks about the nuances of the yoga and pilates culture that may create gatekeeping and exclusivity and the importance of physical wellness and fitness to be available to people of all backgrounds and body shapes. Ivory offered my listeners a special gift: the guide How to Survive your First (or next) Pilates class.
