We have our first somatics class today and I wanted to give you an idea of what to expect. If you’re joining us live, be sure to have a yoga mat, blanket or towel. For today’s class, you will need to be able to get yourself to the floor. In future classes, there will be chair options as well. You will also need a journal or paper and a pen. The theory behind this practice is that your body holds its own wisdom. We often don’t hear what it’s trying to tell us because we are so often running on automatic, or we are too distracted by everything going on around us (or even distracted by our own thoughts). In this practice, we do very slow, deliberate movements. It’s not a fitness activity, it’s a mindful one. As we do these movements, we pay attention to our sensations, emotions, and any thoughts that arise. After the movement, we do some journaling about the experience, and we leave with an action plan based on what our body has shared with us. As the membership grows and more people attend these classes live, we will add a discussion period at the end. Many find it super valuable to share these experiences and learn from each other. This part of the practice will never be shared in the replay videos to respect everyone’s privacy. So this is one glass where it’s beneficial to attend live. Please let me know if you have any questions!

I am so glad you're here. If you've landed in this community, chances are you're tired. Tired of fighting your body, tired of all the noise, tired of feeling like you're never quite doing it right.

Tell us what brought you here. 🎉 I'll go first 👇🏻 I'm Michelle — the physician, weight-neutral coach, yoga teacher, and Body Trust provider behind this community. I built Enough, Already because I lived through the exhaustion of knowing all the right things and still not being able to find the peace with food and my body I was searching for. I'm a woman in midlife, navigating perimenopause, and rediscovering what it means to feel at home in my own skin. This community is as much a part of my journey as it is yours. I'm here, I'm in it with you, and I'm so glad you've joined me. Michelle

Thanks to all who attended the first guided meditation. The replay is up in the Guided Meditation classroom. To respond to your questions, I will record a video explaining why I teach mindfulness meditation specifically - there is an abundance of research to show it helps us do exactly what we're trying to do here: avoid burnout, come back to ourselves, and heal our relationship food and/or body. We will also do some guided visualizations in some of the sessions. I find this super helpful for connecting to the vision of who you want to be. To become that version of ourselves, we have to start doing things differently than the way we did them to get us here. Visualization is another great meditation tool for us here. I'd love to know if you have a meditation practice already. If you do, share what benefits you've noticed. And if you don't, share what's holding you back from starting.

Huge thank you to the first brave souls who have joined this community. You are very welcome here. Feel free to introduce yourself in the pinned post above. Let’s work together to make this the best community ever!
