Ainslie - through orthorexia, 7 years no periods & finding yoga

Ainslie Maura Speedy aka Ains, our darling Te Kuiti based girl who teaches Monday night yoga for Move it Mama. Leece met Ainslie about 4.5 years ago at a speaking event in Otorohanga. Fast forward a few years to two weekends ago where we all got to meet and spend time with Ains during the weekend of the Move it Mama party. What a blessing. Ainslie is the epitome of warm - a self-proclaimed old soul with some very wise words. Having been a runner in her teens and into her twenties, Ainslie developed orthorexia - for many years leading an obsessive lifestyle of under-eating and over-exercising. This caused her to lose her period for about 7 years, and a plethora of health issues. In this episode we discuss this, what it looked like for her, how she managed to climb her way out of it and get to a place of recovery and what part yoga had to play in this. This is a really thought provoking listen and we hope you enjoy our musings and chat. A pleasure to have you on Ains - only a year or so late to the party.
