About this listen
In this two part episode the Body Trust hosts explore the idea that movement is morally neutral and discuss the challenges of engaging in movement free of diet and toxic fitness culture. Special guest Ilya Parker, a black, non-binary, small fat movement practitioner and founder of Decolonizing Fitness, shares their journey and insights. Ilya emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with the body's innate wisdom and viewing movement as a vessel for processing grief and pain. The episode touches on the systemic challenges faced by marginalized groups and the need for collective care and community-led solutions. This conversation, rich with personal reflections and profound insights, sets the stage for further exploration in part two.
