Ground-breaking yogi, author, and activist, Jessamyn Stanley, jams with K + L for another heart-opening conversation about “living life off the book.” For Jessamyn, that translates to consciously keeping check of what she is consuming on social media and how she positions herself in the public sphere as one of the only black, female business owners in the digital, yoga space. 

She opens up about the loneliness that comes with responsibility and how she reconciles the darker elements of her life experience, from being bullied in childhood to how she processed being sexually assaulted amid a peak career “high.”
