Anna Lutz and Elizabeth Davenport chat with Registered Dietitian and yoga teacher, Jessica Grosman, about the origins and many different aspects of yoga, including how to incorporate yoga into family life. Jessica also talks about how diet culture has co-opted yoga in ways that can make it feel inaccessible for many people. 

We discuss:

  • The true definition of yoga
  • How diet culture distorts our perceptions of yoga
  • How yoga is about so much more than stretching and moving your body
  • Ways parents can incorporate yoga into family life
  • How to make yoga and mindfulness relatable for younger children
  • How diet culture has negatively impacted the yoga community and the way yoga is taught

Jessica Grosman, MS, RD, LDN, RYT is an Anti-Diet Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Weight-Inclusive Health Practitioner and Yoga Teacher. She graduated from Case Western Reserve University with a B.S. Nutrition and received a Masters of Science in Nutrition from Boston University in 2001. Jessica’s mission is to help people get comfortable and connected with their own body through food and yoga; she believes that all people have the right to health, regardless of size or medical condition - aligning herself with the approach of Health at Every Size. As a yoga teacher, Jessica helps students find the ways in which their bodies feel most supported and at ease. The focus of Jessica’s yoga teaching is Yin Yoga, a quiet, introspective and meditative practice. Yin Yoga is full-body interoceptive experience, allowing the student to become aware of their body, mind and breath in the present moment. Yoga is often a healing modality in the recovery from Eating Disorders; Jessica believes that her calming presence and thoughtful language when guiding Yin Yoga classes is a wonderful complement to the multi-disciplinary work with ED clients. As both a Registered Dietitian and a Yoga Teacher, Jessica is qualified to address and educate on the intersection of food, nutrition, body image, and yoga. In addition to her client-focused work, Jessica is a recipe developer and a culinary educator; her goal is to get people excited and into the kitchen to cook, and to find more peace and happiness
