BODY
CONFIDENCE
Core
Values, Core Power
This
workshop is designed for women
in health care and movement arts professions
| "Battle
belly bulge! Attack your abs!" Our culture assaults women's bellies, casting
them as shameful. We often respond by withdrawing our awareness. Yet other
cultures around the world have known the body's center as our connection to Source
Energy. In
this workshop you'll begin to experience your body's center as the site of your
soul-power — and help your clients do the same. In
a warm and friendly setting, we'll - understand
the significance of honoring and energizing the body's center for developing body
confidence and self-validation
- learn
five core power-centering practices
- become
familiar with five principles that can point the way to core values
- experience
four methods for releasing body shame, deepening awareness into the bodyÕs center,
and reconciling the mind-belly relationship
- learn
and practice the seven belly-energizing exercises comprising The Gutsy Women's
Workout
