Self-acceptance can be challenging for those of us who struggle
with our sense of self. We may feel disconnected from our body, not
like the way it looks, or feel discomfort with it. Chronic pain in
the body may also be involved. Going to a yoga class in and of
itself can bring up any of these issues.
In this workshop, we will create a safe space to explore ways of
accepting the body. We will use yoga, breathing exercises and
guided meditation to find body acceptance. We will also explore the
connections between the mind, body and spirit, as yoga is a unique
spiritual practice that relies on moving and using the body. The
goal will be to find ways of befriending the body and cultivating
acceptance of the gift that the body is.
