DLS presents An Evening with Jessamyn Stanley: Be the Disruption
Jessamyn Stanley is an award winning yoga instructor, founder of The Underbelly, and author of Every Body Yoga and Yoke. She empowers her audience of 500k+ to break down barriers: both those that society has set and that they have set for themselves.
Jessamyn's work in the wellness space centers around being in community and creating space for students to restore and honor their authentic selves. Regarded as a leading voice on intersectional identity and 21st-century yoga, Jessamyn has won many awards for her social influence and unique approach to yoga. With an articulate message of representation and visibility, Jessamyn also speaks across the country, advocating for body acceptance, female empowerment, as well as Black and LGBTQ inclusion.
Jessamyn has been featured in many media outlets including the New York Times, Good Morning America, Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Allure, Buzzfeed, Shape, Out Magazine, New York Magazine, The Guardian, and Forbes. She broke boundaries for plus size bodies with her January 2022 cover of SELF. She can currently be seen in Gatorade Fit’s new campaign alongside other athletes Sydney McLaughlin and Cody Rigsby and is an ongoing Adidas ambassador.
Boswell Book Company will be at the event selling copies of Jessamyn’s books. Jessamyn will sign books after her talk.
Sponsored by Student Involvement, in partnership with UWM Student Health and Wellness, the UWM Women’s Resource Center, the UWM LGBT Resource Center, University Recreation, the Dept. of Kinesiology, and CHAARG.
