BODY IMAGE AND YOGA

Yoga is a mindful practice, and a yoga studio is about community. The class practices as one, all striking the same pose, sharing the collective experience while participating to the best of one’s own ability. In yoga, body type doesn’t matter; the focus is internal rather than external. The purpose of the practice is to achieve balance (both literally and figuratively), peace and strength. Age doesn’t matter. At Forever Om, we are not about battling the inevitability of aging, but rather being healthier as we age, and being peaceful in our body and mind. This month’s weekend intensive workshop—“Body Image and Yoga” with Chelsea Roff, who runs her own nonprofit to help others overcome eating disorders—looks at the role that yoga can play in healing food and body image issues. You will learn how to use yoga to develop a healthier relationship with your body through yogic techniques, and to cultivate a sense of “home” in your own skin.
