Making Bold Ass Moves with Dana Falsetti Ep. 11

Today on the show I speak with Dana Falsetti. 

Dana is a yoga teacher, fat liberation activist & serial entrepreneur. Dana’s newest yoga related venture, “practice with dana” is an online, pay what you can, accessible yoga platform. In 2013 Dana started an instagram account under the username @noaltrees and brought the conversation of yoga and body image to over 300K followers. 

Throughout Dana’s career, they have made many bold ass moves to put their values before profit and fame. When it no longer felt healthy, or in alignment, Dana closed that instagram account with all those followers. When a company they were involved in wasn’t in alignment with their message, they spoke out. Dana has been faced with loss and lawsuits, and yet, has remained resilient, and true to what they believe in.

As you hear me say in the interview, Dana has been someone who has been a constant source of inspiration for me. From day one, I have watched them show up with a level of honesty, vulnerability and integrity that is surprisingly rare, even in the yoga world. 

When I reached out to Dana, I honestly didn’t think I would ever hear back from them ( they’re kind of a big deal ) and I was super nervous to interview Dana - you can totally hear it in my voice in the first few questions. 

Although I’m almost a decade older than Dana, I look up to Dana - as a shining example of how I want to show up in the world.
