This workshop will offer ways to practice self-love and expand positive connections to your body. Yoga’s potential to heal numerous health conditions is recognized. We will deepen awareness of the brain-body-heart connections. Many yoga students struggle with body image, eating disorders and how to “fall in love with” their most challenging parts. As one woman in her mid-50’s described: “I suffered with a terrible eating disorder in my 20’s and 30’s and always hated my body. I don’t know where I would be today if I hadn’t found yoga. It brought the final healing connection, to make peace in my skin!”
