What are you hungry for? Part #1.

It is a question that has nothing to do with food.



It was a line of inquiry that I explored in my Yoga For Transformation Workshop. Utilizing the phenomenal book that is flying off the shelves, "Women, Food and God" by Geneen Roth, myself and workshop participants began to celebrate the awareness as women our, relationship with food is reflective of our herstories, religious and cultural experiences and societal messages concerning body image.

The workshop participants created a loving and sacred space for inquiry into the question, "what are we hungry for?" Most importantly, yoga provided and provides the invitation into exploration of this question on a myriad of levels.

Much of Roth's book is what I termed "yoga speak." Yogic philosophy recognizes that "the issues live in our tissues," and transformation being an inside job. Through discussion, sharing and of course "taking it to the mat" with asana, we continued our journey of coming home to ourselves.

Stay tuned more to come.
