In this episode of Inclusive Movement & Nutrition Ireland, Maggie sits down with embodied yoga and yoga nidra teacher Laura Doyle to explore the often-hidden layers of diet culture, body trust, and what it means to truly heal. Laura shares her personal story of recovery from binge eating, perfectionism, and body dysmorphia, and how her yoga practice has become a path to self-connection and empowerment.
Together, they unpack how wellness culture, fitness spaces, and even body positivity can sometimes reinforce the very things they aim to dismantle. This is a deep, honest, and incredibly validating conversation for anyone seeking liberation from diet culture.

About Laura:
Laura Doyle is a trauma-informed yoga and meditation teacher who helps women in bigger bodies reconnect with themselves through movement, rest, and radical self-compassion. Her work gently invites you to step away from shame, perfectionism, and the quiet grip of diet culture—and into practices that feel nourishing, supportive, and deeply human.
