“Mindful eating is about awareness.
When you eat mindfully, you slow down,
pay attention to the food you’re eating,
and savor every bite.”
Susan Albers
If you are ready to let go of endless dieting and self-judgement, Mindful & Intuitive Eating will teach you to tap into your inherent wisdom to create a healthier relationship with food and your body. Rediscover the joy of food and eating as you learn to respect your body and improve your wellbeing.
Through mindfulness meditation and yoga, you’ll learn to listen to the guidance of your body. This class is a non-diet approach that advocates non-judgment and self-compassion. Students re-learn to use intuitive cues to guide when and what to eat.
You will learn:
• How to meet yourself with compassion and curiosity.
• How to motivate yourself with kindness instead of criticism.
• The basics of mindful eating.
• Mindful eating, sitting meditation, body scan, and gentle yoga practices.
• How to work with thoughts and emotions that trigger mindless eating.
According to peer reviewed research, regular mindfulness practice:
• Reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
• Improves sleep, focus, and attention.
• Reduce symptoms of chronic illness and pain.
• Enhances ability to experience joy and contentment.
• Increases confidence and self-acceptance.
