PCOS Body Liberation exists to create inclusive community and to offer resources for healing yoga and food peace to all people with PCOS. We recognize the need for community space where people with PCOS can gather in solidarity to find education, inspiration, and personal connection free from the oppression of white supremacy and diet culture.

PCOS Body Liberation affirms:

  • every person’s right to bodily autonomy and access to quality compassionate healthcare

  • the dignity and value of all bodies with PCOS regardless of gender identity, race, sexuality, class, ability, body size, and other marginalizing characteristics

  • health is not a moral obligation

  • the rights of people with PCOS to access joyful celebration, pleasure, and liberation in their bodies exactly as they are

I don't know who needs to hear this, but none of us owe health to anyone. ⁣🎤🎤🎤 ⁣ What do I mean? ⁣ ⁣ I mean that we are each responsible for our own bodies, and that means that we get to decide how we want to live and what we prioritize in life. ⁣
