Ep. 26 - Special Guest Rachel Piper on Moving in a Bigger Body and Accessibility in Fitness

We are excited to bring Rachel Piper to the Meet Your Body podcast! Rachel (NCPT) is a classically trained comprehensive Pilates teacher who believes that you should love your body for what it can do no matter your size, your age, or your current abilities. Rachel describes herself as a "Pilates obsessed human practicing and teaching in a bigger body". In today's episode, Jessica and Rachel discuss what this statement means and how to feel encouraged as a mover if you also identify as a bigger bodied human . They dive into how the fitness world typically fails people in bigger bodies and what practical things you can do (as a mover and teacher) to make movement more accessible.They will then round out the conversation discussing what accessibility looks like in fitness and how this applies to the neurodiverse population, a subject that is near and dear to Rachel's heart.This is a rich, transparent and important conversation that all movers and teachers would benefit from listening to!Rachel and her offerings can all be found below:- Instagram (@size_diverse_pilates): http://www.instagram.com/size_diverse_pilates- YouTube and accessible props video: https//youtu.be/unQGoKpYlrk- Website: http://www.sizediversepilates.com- Size Diverse Pilates online workshop: http://tinyurl.com/22rdhjhvJVP UNLIMITED online fitness membership:http://www.jessicavalantpilates.com/unlimitedYouTube (workouts and tips)https://www.youtube.com/c/JessicaValantPilatesResources, services & more:http://www.jessicavalantpilates.comFollow Jessica on Instagram:http://www.instagram.com/jessicavalantpilatesJessica Valant Pilates app:Apple IOS - https://tinyurl.com/mry5ya8rGoogle - https://tinyurl.com/yh3ty5fp Jessica Valant and Jessica Valant Pilates, LLC, recommend you consult with a physician before starting any new exercise program.
