The Women’s Advisory Board and HollywoodNOW are pleased to present a celebration for Women’s HERstory 2013. Melanie Klein, body image activist, long time yoga practitioner, and Women’s Studies professor will engage us in a discussion based on her recent chapter in 21st Century Yoga: Culture, Politics and Practice. She’ll talk about the connection between feminist ideology and yoga practice, how feminism and yoga helped her heal her distorted body image and her work utilizing yoga to help promote healthy body image by counterbalancing the incessant streams of unrealistic and one-dimensional images perpetuated by the mainstream media. In addition to sharing her experiences and wisdom on body image, feminism and media literacy education, Melanie will lead participants in a 60-minute yoga practice. For more information, please call (310) 661-1359. TTY for the deaf and hard of hearing at (323) 848-6496.
