“Moms have to realize that how they speak about
themselves in front of their daughters can leave a lasting impression,” says
Julie Finkel, a practicing yogi since 1999. “We want to open up a dialogue.”
The upcoming two-hour, November workshop for teens and
their moms will start off with yoga, including partner poses and postures which
may evoke a bit of fear.
“We’ll talk about this feeling and how to breathe
through it. I’m a bit believer in learning how to breathe in uncomfortable
situations,” says Finkel. “Our bodies
are so amazing. We can control ourselves with meditation. We can choose good
thoughts instead of self-deprecating ones.”
Finkel’s use of yoga to address body image was
intentional since, “It’s different than a sport or dance, where you’re
performing or competing. You do yoga for yourself. There’s no end result such
as competition, or being on stage. It’s about discovering how amazing and
strong our bodies are. It’s empowering,” says Finkel.
CleanandDelicious Youtube sensation, Dani Spies is a
special guest and will discuss the psychology of eating, controlling your fat
intake and lead a journaling activity.
