Molly Kubes has shared a photo of her armpit hair to inspire other women to feel “empowered”.
The yoga instructor from Ontario, Canada, regularly posts messages of body positivity online.
The professional yoga teacher, who is a big fan of spiritual retreats, hopes to encourage other women to live their lives on their own terms.
Yesterday, she shared a topless selfie on Instagram where she grinned towards the camera and proudly showed off her body hair.
Even though Molly preaches about the importance of feeling comfortable in your own skin, she admitted that it was difficult to share the intimate picture.
She said: “It is an edge for me to post photos of my body hair like this but I am tired of hiding!
“My happiness, my beauty, my self love does not depend on you.”
Moly also encouraged others to stop “people pleasing”.
She urged: “It’s time to CHOOSE your own empowerment, to CHOOSE your own love and to really own your own happiness.
“I’m ready! Are you with me?”
More than 300 Instagram fans have liked Molly’s body positivity post, with many praising her for flaunting her armpit hair.
One social media user said: “You’re a powerful and inspiring human. Thank you for the uplifting posts.”
While another simply said: “You go girl!”
And some of Molly’s followers even admitted that they planned to follow in her footsteps.
One remarked: “You’ve inspired me not to shave my armpits too.”
Another added: “Started letting mine grow out about 2 weeks ago!”
