Self-esteem is a tricky topic, and it’s one that changes daily. At some point in our lives, all of us have suffered a bout of low self-esteem and we’d be foolish to think that this can be cured overnight – but there are some things in life that can give us a positive boost, just when we need it the most. Here at Love You Burlesque, we encourage women to feel good about themselves, physically and mentally! But how, I hear you ask, can dancing around in frilly knickers make you feel good? Well, here are four ways that Love You Burlesque classes can help boost your self-esteem…
SUPPORT & ENCOURAGEMENT
There’s nothing better than walking into a burlesque class filled with shimmies and hugs to put a smile on your face – and with a LYB class, that’s exactly what you’ll get. From the moment you arrive, to the moment class is over, you will find yourself immersed among a group of women who will do everything in their power to support and encourage you. Low self-esteem won’t get a look in when you’re shimmying and shaking with fellow students, who will soon become friends before you know it.
FEELING FABULOUS
The way we feel about the way we look often impacts our self-esteem. Here at LYB HQ, we recognise that all bodies are worthy of love – more so, they deserve it. A LYB class exudes a positive energy that will encourage you to find acceptance in the skin you’re in: with positive affirmations, exciting body confidence workshops, the option to simplify moves if you are ‘too fabulous’ for them and not to mention the burlesque outfits you can choose to wear – you’d be hard-pushed to feel anything but confident about your body at class!
TIME FOR YOU
Our lives are hectic. Between the children, your partner, work, your home, your social life, family time we are expected to find time for ourselves – a luxury that we rarely afford ourselves. LYB gives women the chance to take an hour out of their day and spend it on themselves – and what’s an hour? Especially when you consider the self-esteem boosting, dancing your socks off, shimmying in sequins mantra that LYB live by! It’s important to take time for ourselves, as sometimes our self-esteem can become a little worn down if we don’t.
GET MOVING
We spend a lot of our time stationary – whether that be sat at a desk at work, or in front of the TV in the evenings. Whilst there’s nothing wrong with that, it is important to get our bodies moving once in a while, lest we become too comfortable with our stagnant routine. Confidence can be born from a lot of things, and if that means getting up and out once in while and moving our bodies, then LYB provides a supportive, body confident and self-esteem-boosting space from which to do that from.
