Pilates & Prayer Presents: The Weight of My Body

Pilates & Prayer Presents: The Weight of My Body

Freedom from viewing our body as an aesthetic object

What would it feel like to experience your body without constantly viewing it through the lens of how it looks?

The Weight of My Body is an intimate experience exploring our relationship with our bodies, the pressures that shape how we see them, and what it can mean to experience greater freedom from aesthetic expectations.

Through Pilates, psychotherapy and prayer, we’ll create space to reconnect with the body, explore the psychology behind body image, and reflect on the beliefs and messages that can influence the way we see ourselves.

An evening of movement, conversation & reflection:

🧘🏾‍♀️ Pilates
We’ll begin with a Pilates session designed to help us reconnect with our bodies through movement, presence and awareness.

🧠 Psychotherapy & live conversation
Join our panel of psychotherapists and mental health professionals for an honest and thought-provoking discussion around body image, self-perception, societal expectations and the psychological impact of viewing the body primarily as an aesthetic object.

This will be an opportunity to hear from professionals in the field while also reflecting on our own experiences and relationship with our bodies. Hosted by The Weight of It.

🙏🏾 Declarations & prayer
We’ll close the experience with guided declarations and prayer, creating space to reflect on what we want to release and how we want to move forward.

This experience is for you if…

You’ve ever found yourself:

• Comparing your body to others
• Overanalysing how you look in photographs or the mirror
• Feeling pressure to change your body
• Thinking about your appearance more than you’d like
• Struggling to separate your sense of worth from how you look
• Wanting to cultivate a healthier and freer relationship with your body

Come ready to move, listen, reflect and have honest conversations about the weight we can place on our bodies … and what it might look like to put some of that weight down.
