9:30 – 11:00 AM

You have probably heard the advice to “listen to your body,” but what does that actually mean? How do you listen to your body when you don’t know how? And what are you even listening for? It’s hard to listen to your body in a world that has actively taught you to disconnect from it. 

This is for you if:

  • You struggle to know what you are feeling both physically and emotionally
  • You don’t tend to notice aches and pains until they are blaring
  • You feel disconnected or shut off from large areas of your body or have lost feeling in certain areas of the body
  • You yo-yo between “being really good” and “falling off the wagon.” You can’t seem to maintain a healthy balance- it’s all or nothing
  • You want to feel better in your body but you’re not sure what to do, so you try another diet/regimen/protocol. It’s restrictive and you can’t sustain it, so you give up. Six months later you still feel bad so you try a new one. Rinse & repeat
  • You know you have to pee but tell yourself you’ll go “in a minute” but you don’t get up until you’re ready to explode
  • You struggle to relax and feel generally “on”
  • You hear someone say “tomatoes bother my stomach” and you wonder how they could possibly know that it’s tomatoes
  • You are clumsy and have a tendency to bump into things or your balance is off
  • You don’t realize you’re hungry/thirsty until you can’t see straight 
  • You frequently feel confused by cues in fitness classes and find them hard to follow. You look around the room at everyone else trying to figure out what they are talking about. 
  • You struggle to trust yourself and have a hard time making decisions
  • You don’t recognize yourself or your body anymore

If any of this sounds like you, you are in the right place! Over the course of three months, you will learn how to connect with your body and become more aware of it’s day-to-day signals and messages.

We will meet once monthly for 30 mins of open Q&A and 60 minutes of active practice. In between meetings, you will track your body’s signals to see what you discover about yourself over our time together!

Sept 18th: Exteroception – how your body processes sensory information from outside your body.

Oct 16th: Proprioception – how your body senses where you are in space 

Nov 20th: Interoception –  awareness of your body’s internal signals

Dec 11th: embodied decisions – what a yes and no feel like in your body

Your body is speaking, but are you listening?
