In today’s episode, Breathing Deeply teacher, Joe Simek, sits down with our co-founder Brandt Passalacqua to tap into his expertise around weight loss, obesity and eating disorders.
Brandt has seen many people change their lives through weight loss after working with him. Taking people on a weight loss journey helps them to live happier and more productive lives.
Discover Brandt’s journey to becoming a yoga therapist who specializes in weight loss and creating Being at Peace with Food. Being at Peace with Food is a specialized yoga therapy training for weight loss.
The work we do with weight loss is different from a conventional weight loss program which is purely focused on weight loss. Our goal is to have people become more present, regulated and aware of their situation. This therefore, empowers them to make the right choices for themselves.
Brandt covers what is within the scope of our practice as yoga therapists and what kind of client is a good candidate to work with.
He also goes over in-depth what instances a yoga therapist can safely take on a client who is suffering from an eating disorder such as bulimia and anorexia.
Discover the most important things you need to know about these conditions and in what cases you are in a position to really help them with the tools of yoga!
