London: Food Yoga – an embodied approach to the psychology of eating

February 25th 2018

This workshop is an exploration of our relationship to food through body awareness and depth psychology. By looking at the way we eat, we can learn about ourselves: we can learn how to eat in more nourishing ways, without diets, restrictions or healthy-eating obsessions.

The embodied method involves listening to the body rather than controlling it, which is a different take on this topic. This workshop will be more of an enquiry than an expert lesson, and we might even have some fun learning something useful.

Who this is for:

• People who have challenges with food and are looking for a deeper approach
• People who are just curious to explore this aspect of life
• People who want to learn about embodiment and think food is as interesting topic

What this workshop won’t include:

• Diet tips
• Recipes
• Yoga snobbery about how we all have to live on expensive superfoods
• Endless arguments about what to cut our of your diets, allergies, etc.
