EP 4 – The 10 Principles of Joyful Movement. #2- Embrace Embodiment
Show Notes
Traditional exercise and weight loss programs typically focus on the physical body or aesthetics – using restriction and punishment to try to shrink the body in order to fit into the societal ideal.
We are actually made up of four bodies – the physical body, the mental body, the spiritual body and the emotional body. And when we ignore the needs of the whole self and spend our efforts on “fixing” the physical body, motivation is a big struggle.
You can’t create a body you love through punishment.
Body acceptance starts by acknowledging that we’re more than a body and committing to being respectful to ourselves no matter how we feel about our physical body.
In this week’s episode we explore all the parts of us that make us whole, and how honouring each body through joyful movement is key to having a good relationship with exercise and a step towards body acceptance
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Learn about the 4 bodies that make us whole.
- Identify ways that you have disconnected from your body because of diet culture.
- Explore ways to re-connect to the physical, emotional, spiritual and mental bodies through respectful movement that honours the whole self.
