The world and it’s judgement has a lot to say about overweight people. They say we are lazy, sloppy, undisciplined, awkward, unintelligent, not graceful and lack self-control. Of course none of this is true, but unfortunately, along with a few extra pounds comes the stigma of being thought of and labeled in ways that demoralizing and demeaning.
So when I first saw the title of this video, I started to pass it right on by. How dare they say what a woman could or couldn’t do based on the size of her body! But the video kept popping up in my Facebook feed so I bit the bullet and took a look see and I could not have been more pleased by what I saw.
I absolutely love this video because it completely blows all preconceived notions about overweight women out of the water. It drives home the point that we shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. The woman in this video completely annihilates all predetermined judgement about her ability to do yoga or anything else for that matter. I swear I can hear her saying…BAMM, IN YOUR FACE!
Watching this video reminds me of the times when people have doubted my ability to teach Zumba or dance as well if not better than others when placed in a room full of size 6’s. Each and every time I had to put my game face on and show them who was boss, as I shared in this post. Just like I said then, I’ll say it now…You don’t know my story, clearly you don’t know what I’m capable of, so don’t let my size fool ya!
