Ngezibonelo ze-yogi ezinjengoJessamyn Stanley noBrittany Richard abakhombisa umhlaba ukuthi i-yoga iyatholakala futhi ingafundiswa yinoma ngubani omise isimo, usayizi, nekhono eceleni - ungacabanga ukuthi igama elithi "umzimba we-yoga" lizophela. Kepha izinkolelo ezithatha isikhathi zithatha isikhathi ukwephuka, futhi, empeleni, ukuthola uhlobo lokuzethemba lokuzama i-headstand ku-bra yezemidlalo kanye ne-leggings kuthatha isibindi (futhi kungumgogodla oqinile). (Funda kabanzi mayelana nokuthi kungani i-"Yoga Body" Stereotype iyi-BS.)

USarah Bokone, ongumthwebuli wezithombe waseWarren, e-Ohio, unethemba lokuqhubekisela phambili lo mzimba ngokuhamba kancane ngochungechunge lwezithombe zakhe zakamuva, olungenayo "imizimba ye-yoga" kodwa imizimba ukwenza i-yoga.

U-Bokone uthuthukise iphrojekthi kanye no-Jessica Sowers, umnikazi we-Body Bliss Connection, isitudiyo se-yoga sasendaweni, owaqala ukwethula umthwebuli wezithombe kulo mkhuba cishe ngonyaka odlule.

"Bengingakaze ngicabange ukuthi ngingayenza i-yoga, kodwa ubezwakala nje ukuthi uyangikhuthaza," kusho uBokone weSowers. "Unentshisekelo enkulu yokusabalalisa igama lokuthi yonke imizimba iyakwazi ukwenza i-yoga, futhi nginentshisekelo yokuthwebula imizwa nokukhombisa abantu ukuthi bahle kangakanani ngokuthwebula izithombe." Kwenziwa umdlalo.

Izithombe ezimnyama nezimhlophe zibonisa abesifazane beminyaka ehlukene, izisindo, nezinga lamakhono, kodwa hhayi okunye okuningi, futhi lokho kwakuyiphuzu ngqo. "Bengifuna ukugxila kumuntu yedwa," kusho uBokone. "Kwakuyisikhathi esinesibindi nesinamandla kubo, futhi bengingafuni ukulahlekelwa yilokho engikugxilile." Akukhona okokuqala edubula izifundo ngalolu hlobo lwendlela edaluliwe-asisho nje ukuthi uyakwazi ukuthola amadoda ukuzizwa usengozini.

Lokho agxile kukho kuyinto evamile kumthwebuli wezithombe oneminyaka engu-29 ubudala, othi ubehlale enenkinga yezinkinga zokuzithemba komzimba nokuthi ukubizwa ngokuthi "umngane oyisidudla" esemncane bekulokhu kunamathela kuye. “Angikaze ngiwuthande umzimba wami, futhi ngafika ezingeni lapho ngangesaba khona ukuba sezithombeni, futhi lokho kubi ngoba ngiyathanda ukubhala ngempilo,” usho kanje. Wabona ukuthi udinga ukulungisa umbono wakhe, lapho kungena khona i-yoga.

Lapho eqala uhambo lwakhe lwe-yoga, wafuna isikhuthazo kwabesifazane ayenomuzwa wokuthi angazihlanganisa nabo. "Enye yezinto zokuqala engizenzile ekuqaleni ukusesha iPinterest ne-Instagram ukuthola 'i-yoga yobukhulu obukhulu," esho. "Impela, laba besifazane bangaba nokuhlangenwe nakho kweminyaka eminingana, kodwa kuyakhuthaza ukwazi ukuthi ngokuzijwayeza umzimba wami nawo uyakwazi." (P.S. Uke wezwa ngamakilasi e- "Fat Yoga" Aklanyelwe Abesifazane Abakhulu?)

Ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa nje ezijwayeza i-yoga yasemoyeni eBody Bliss Connection, uthi amandla akhe azizwa engcono futhi waqala ukubheka umzimba wakhe ngokwehlukile. "Kungenzeka ngingabi usayizi engingawukhetha, kodwa ngingenza isimo esihle somnsalo esihlanekezelwe!" uthi. "Futhi impela, lapho ngizibuka esibukweni manje, ngisabona izindawo ebengihlala ngizizonda, kepha bese ngithola amazwibela emilenze yami ethonyiwe, futhi ngifana nokuthi, 'Isihogo yebo!'"

Ku-Instagram, wabhala: "Ngiye ngavumela umzimba wami ukuba ungibambe kusukela kude kakhulu. Ngibonga kakhulu ngokuthi @bodyblissconnection ungifundise lokho engikwaziyo ngempela. Nginamandla kakhulu ukuba ngibe namahloni."

UBokone uthi wayefuna laba besifazane ochungechungeni lwezithombe zakhe bazizwe benamandla afanayo lapho bezibona ngale ndlela eluhlaza. "Abesifazane abambalwa abehlukene bangitshele ukuthi babhalisile ngoba befuna ukuphuma ezindaweni zabo zokunethezeka," esho. "Kupholile kanjani lokho?"
