Gentle Movement and Relaxation Sessions November 2026

Gentle Movement and Relaxation Sessions

EDV's monthly online gentle movement and relaxation sessions offer a supportive space to reconnect with your body through calming practices that promote self-compassion, stress relief and grounding - always at your own pace, with no pressure or expectations. 

This online session will be guided by an EDV staff member who is an experienced yoga teacher. The focus will be on mindful movement and can be adjusted depending on your physical access needs.

Facilitation:
Lead facilitator: Mel works on EDV's hub and is a trained yoga instructor.

Co facilitator: Mel is joined by Heather (peer worker).
Heather (she/her) is a Consumer Peer Worker at Eating Disorders Victoria. She draws on her lived experience of recovery from an eating disorder to support others navigating their way through their own eating disorder journeys. She offers a non-judgmental, empathetic, and compassionate approach, creating a safe space where individuals feel heard and understood. Within the group space, Heather fosters connection and shared experiences among participants, while remaining open to the differing worldviews, perspectives, and lived experiences of everyone in the group. Heather brings warmth, authenticity, curiosity, and a genuine belief that recovery from an eating disorder is possible for everyone. Outside of peer work, Heather loves spending time in nature - whether that’s walking by the river, swimming in the ocean, or getting her hands dirty on her parents’ farm. She enjoys catching up with friends over coffee at her favourite café, gardening, and dabbling in various artsy activities.
