Want to stop blaming your body? In this vlog I’ll share common ways we create habits of body blaming, the impact blaming our bodies has, and why we blame our body in the first place. Body blame affects us all in different areas of our lives and contributes so much to our body image as well as body image issues such as disordered eating. There is a lot you can do to start to shift the blame away from your body and begin to observe and understand the thoughts that create the blame. This is thought work, and yes, it’s work! But let’s be honest, so is blaming your body, controlling your body, or avoiding your body.

So many of my students struggle with body image issues. They range from getting their "body back" after having a baby to eating disorder recovery to traumatic experiences that make the body feel like an unsafe place to be.

That time of the month. We can often think of it as an annoyance, something we need to hide, or would simply rather avoid, but building our awareness of own cycles can bring insight into our habits and changes as well as allow us to begin to provide a more compassionate space to care for ourselves. This latest vlog is all about yoga for a healthy cycle!
My passion and my yoga teaching is all about helping women move from feeling uncomfortable in their own skin to feeling more at home in and trusting of their bodies. We can become disconnected from our physical bodies for many different reasons, one of which is domestic violence.
It can be extremely difficult to feel safe in your own body after experiencing it as an unsafe place.

Is that actually possible? Yep, it sure it.
In this video I'm sharing some tools to help you do just that. This has made a HUGE impact on my life and the way I have felt about my body over the years. I hope it does the same for you. You'll also find a yoga flow to help you get out of your head and experience your body! Let's do this, together. We've all been beginners at some point. Whether it's riding your bike, going to Kindergarten or college, starting a new job or relationship, we get a LOT of opportunities to begin new things in our lives. It's always nicer when you've got some support and a soft landing ;) If you've never tried yoga, or you've been away from it for a while, private yoga sessions are a fantastic way to ease into your practice.
Listening to your body. It's one of the cues or suggestions I often include in my yoga classes. It's important to understand your limits to prevent injury and to challenge yourself when you've got a little more to give, not mention rest when you're tired, eat when you're hungry, and so much more. It's also one of those things it's really easy to say, but not always easy to do.
Power. Vinyasa. Acro. Kundalini. Ashtanga. Hatha. Hot. Jivamukti. Anusara. Bikram. Iyengar. Yoga Sculpt. You can find yoga classes that combine yoga with weights, yoga + cycling, and yoga + pilates. Heck, you can even find classes that combine yoga and a pint of beer!
There are a LOT of kinds of yoga, people! |
