For a long time, there was (and, well, still is) this stigma that plus-sized women are lazy, unhealthy and unwilling to exercise.

And...that's just not true. Personally, I love working out (when I can fit it in between writing, feeding myself and behaving like a functioning adult, that is), and I've reclaimed the word "fat" and proudly say it to anyone who asks.

So, I like filling my social media feeds with women who don't just inspire me, but look like me too. Because size does not equate to beauty and/or health — and should never be a metric by which we judge anyone.

I first found Dianne a few years ago when I first became interested in yoga and I loved her immediately. She's a vocal body activist and believes all bodies are capable, no matter your level of experience or level of ability.

Watching Jessamyn do headstands is actually enthralling. She's a wonder to watch and shows that every body is valid and capable, you just have to find, test and push your limits.
