“I feel so disconnected”. “I don’t know what I feel”. “I hate noticing my body”.
Do these statements sound familiar?
Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating are an experience of disembodiment. They foster experiences of judging, fighting, and leaving your body.
Recovery work is no joke. It’s hard AF. Eating Disorders/Disordered Eating are well documented to cause a disruption between the mind and the body. Impacted by both internal and external factors.
Body based practices can act as a treatment bridge between the mind and the body. Bringing your body into your recovery.
This workshop will consist of embodied body based practices such as mat yoga, movement, and breathwork to awaken our internal and external connections.
