My own life experience and journey with food & eating began as a child. In my childhood home, there was much calorie counting going on (as was common in the 1970’s & 80’s) & virtually never sweet treats in the house, in fear of eating the whole box. As a child, my weight was average and I did not experience any compulsions or issues around food or my body. However, when I entered adolescence and my body starting changing, I was unsure what to do. In the only way that I knew, I started counting calories and limiting my meals & food consumption. This turned into cycles of ‘yo-yo dieting’, which was fuelled by food binges followed by strict dieting. As well as this, I began upping her exercise routine and was jogging for up to an hour, 7 days a week. This yo-yo dieting continued all through my 20’s and began to include alcohol binges as well.
READ MORE OF MY STORY
When I did my yoga teacher training in an ashram in the USA, things changed radically. The food served was all vegetarian with minimal dairy or sugar, so naturally my body changed simply just by the food I was eating. The most significant learning while living in the ashram came about by the ‘Noble Silence’ during the meals.! Instead of talking, laughing or being distracted by external focuses, the attention was now drawn to oneself. Looking more carefully at what was on my plate, taking the time to chew food more fully & thoughtfully and therefore, not over eating and being connected to the process of eating. After 4 – 5 weeks living in this way on the ashram, I was able to let go of the on and off ‘yo-yo dieting’ as I learnt to listen to my internal compass that offered ongoing guidance and direction in to how to eat mindfully and what foods would served my body & mind the best. Even while my body changed and grew during 2 pregnancies, I continued to listen intuitively to what my body and baby were needing to stay nourished. Despite, having been vegetarian for a number of years, it became very clear that my body desperately needed meat protein to sustain and nourish me and the growing child inside of me. I am not saying this is a necessary option for everyone, however, it was an important lesson for me. I experienced (and learnt to trust) the wisdom held in my body, rather than philosophies and ideals set out by my mind Since then, my food choices have continued to shift and change depending on what my body was needing in that phase of my life. Recently, as I have moved into the menopausal years, my food choices have again adapted to suit my almost 50 year-old body and changing hormonal system. I am so thankful that I have been liberated from obsessive dieting and food compulsions for almost 20 years. If you struggle with your body image or an eating disorder, It would be my absolute pleasure to share my experiences, discoveries and successful techniques with you. I now teach Love Your Body as a workshop in Japan and offer Love Your Body as a private program for women, men or teens. I incorporate counselling into my sessions, as well as my 20 years experience of yoga, meditation, self-enquiry & ayurveda. |
The Story of Love Your Body
Love Your Body was created after going away on a ‘Girls Weekend’ with some friends. Over the weekend, each of the women complained in some way about her body – wanting to look different, complaining about their weight or simply not liking their body.
At the end of the weekend, I suggested creating a program for my friends to help learn to love their body more through a weekly yoga practice & philosophy, learning the principles of Ayurveda & Ayurvedic nutrition and through self-enquiry practices. Within a couple of weeks, we had started a private program at my home. Within the first few weeks, my friends began noticing changes in their body, and importantly their awareness around their eating habits and patterns. They looked forward to their weekly yoga classes and learning more about Ayurveda and about their relationship with food and their body.
What started as an idea for a basic 6 weeks course ended up continuing into a 6 month program. By the end of the program each of my friends experienced a real transformation. They felt more comfortable in their body, experienced their body weight coming back into balance, they were making loving choices around food and each of the women felt more connection to herself and ultimately more Love for her Body.
With the success of the first 6 month program, I rolled out the first Love Your Body at the Red Tent Yoga studio. The program began in February as a 6 week course, and similar to my first course with my friends, the women were experiencing such immediate transformations and success, they kept asking for more and the program continuing on for the entire year. It was a transformational experience for all students.
