Anti Diet Riot Club is bringing the fight against Diet Culture to East London once again, but this time we’re going to explore how to eat once you’ve STOPPED dieting (or at least, if you’re considering stopping but maybe you’re scared to let go for good!)

For this we’re recruiting the expertise of Laura Thomas, PhD who will be giving us the lowdown on Intuitive Eating, the philosophy that allows us to trust our bodies in choosing what to eat and maintaining a weight that is healthy and sustainable for us an individual. Laura will be explaining how, after we ditch the diets and throw out the rulebooks, we can start to relearn our natural hunger and fullness signals, make peace with/find enjoyment from food & exercise, and respect our bodies!

~ If you don’t know already, Laura is a Registered Nutrionist, founder of the London Centre for Intuitive Eating, host of our favourite Don’t Salt My Game podcast AND a no-bullshit, badass anti-diet advocate….in other words, she’s the perfect person to give this intro workshop into the world of IE. ~

Maybe you’ve never heard of Intuitive Eating, or maybe you want to learn practically how to incorporate it into your daily eating rituals….this informative workshop will lay it all out for beginners with plenty of pratical tips to take home! AND in typical Anti Diet Riot Club fashion, there will be opportunities to be creative, self-reflective, to share your struggles and to ask plenty of questions…all in a safe, non-judgemental and FAT-SHAMING FREE zone.

BOOM!

Anti Diet Riot Club & Curvesomeyoga present…

▲ BODY ACCEPTANCE YOGA & BRUNCH▲

Despite what Instagram, most magazines, and the majority of yoga brands will lead you to believe…YOGA IS NOT JUST FOR THIN, WHITE, ABLED BODIES! This restricted representation of yoga bodies means many people who live in different ones are anxious, scared, and put off from attending classes or practicing at home. In some circles and classes it can seem as though yoga has become less about reflection and more about competition…less about listening to your body and about seeing how quickly you can get into a headstand position…and we want to change this!

*please note brunch is not included in the ticket price, it will need to be paid for individually at the venue on the day.

Join us for morning of gentle and weight-inclusive yoga practice, suitable for beginners and those who want to work out how yoga can be suitable for their particular needs. Our aim is for this 90 minute workshop to allow you to find freedom, self-confidence and self-love in your yoga practice.

Be inspired by Donna, who runs Curvesome Yoga, to practice regardless of your age, size, shape, ethnicity, physical ability or your fear. Start on your journey to empowerment, self-acceptance and change. Learn how to practice safely and effectively to your specific needs. Above all, this is a chance to have fun with your yoga. This gentle class will focus on running into our inner GPS (voice) – helping you to realise that everyBODY is a yoga body, creating a practice based on self-care.

You will come away feeling empowered taking your yoga off the yoga mat into you every day life. And this is where the true yoga begins.
