thebrittaconner.bsky.social @thebrittaconner.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Ugh. I get pitched brand collabs every week for brands that don't go past 2x. And even then the 2x selection is about a quarter of the full catalogue I will never take a brand deal that involves sizing like that, it's disrespectful Drop your favorite plus size brands so I can follow them please! 000

thebrittaconner.bsky.social @thebrittaconner.bsky.social · 03/09/2026A relationship with yourself. Let yourself progress however it happens, without force, you have your whole life to get there. Because I kept going: I stopped judging myself harshly, I feel better about my body, and I know how to best move my body when I hurt. What has yoga done for you? 000

thebrittaconner.bsky.social @thebrittaconner.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Rest is revolutionary in a world where productivity is prized. Taking care of ourselves is not an indulgence, it's a MUST if we're going to thrive. Ways I rest: Yoga (obvs) Reading Coloring TV with my kids Playing violin poorly (I'm trying) Watercolor Walking for pleasure/calm Tea Nightly routine 020

thebrittaconner.bsky.social @thebrittaconner.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Yoga should be leading you towards inner stillness. I also hope it leads you to be more gentle to yourself. If you want to know if you can turn your mind from the daily worries to something else, try a balance pose! 000

thebrittaconner.bsky.social @thebrittaconner.bsky.social · 01/08/2026A class I never returned to (before I became a teacher myself): The teacher said "everyone is doing a headstand before we leave today" and chose me to go first.

thebrittaconner.bsky.social @thebrittaconner.bsky.social · 30/07/2026You can want to change without hating where you are. Growth doesn’t require self-rejection. Desire doesn’t require disgust.

thebrittaconner.bsky.social @thebrittaconner.bsky.social · 04/07/2026“Listen to your body” is a political statement. Fat people are often told every symptom is because of their weight. I’ve heard too many stories of women told to lose weight—only to later discover it was cancer. When you’re taught to distrust your body, learning to listen again takes time. 000
