Workshops: Body-image, self-respect and kind relationship with the body
I offer workshops supporting healthy relationship with the body based on the original international curriculum by Embody Love Movement®, mindfulness and self-compassion principals and yoga programs for eating disorders.
Together we explore:
- Discussions and activities on the topic of body-image and body-shaming.
- How the way we talk about the body and appearance influences our mind, our feeling of self-worth and self-confidence.
- What to do and how to talk about the body and how to create and maintain a friendly relationship with the body, with ourselves and others.
Who are these workshops for?
- Schools/youth organisations
- Teachers, youthworkers, parents and other adults in children’s and teens’ lives
- Public workshops or private groups of adults who want to find a better relationship with their bodies
- Public workshops or private groups of children (6-9), tweens (10-13), teens (14-18)
Yoga and mindfulness for eating disorders
I offer private yoga therapy and group courses for adults and teens supporting them on the healing journey from eating disorders. My programs don’t substitute medical treatment. However many clinical studies confirmed that specially structured yoga and mindfulness practice can support and accelerate the healing process.
In the private and group sessions I use years of experience practicing and teaching yoga and mindfulness and I build on my trainings in yoga for eating disorders, healthy body-image coaching and mindful self-compassion through various evidence-based programs and organisations including:
Eat.Breathe.Thrive by Chelsea Roff – Embody Love Movement® by Dr.Melody Moore – Yoga.Psyche.Soul. training and Trauma Informed Yoga by Ashley Turner – Mindful Self-compassion by Kristin Neff facilitated by Kami Dvorakova and others.
Note – please discuss with your health professional whether yoga would be suitable for you depending on where you are on the eating disorder spectrum and your current condition on the healing journey.
You can find public group courses in my calendar or book a private yoga therapy.
