“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-judgment, 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 well-being.
Through mindfulness meditation and yoga, you will 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.
In the Mindful Eating for Beginners Workshop, you will learn:
• Eat for Life – BASICS of Mindful Eating.
• Intuitive Eating Practices.
• How to motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism.
• Mindfulness practices you can implement right away.
• Awareness of how your thoughts and emotions contribute to mindless eating.
What’s Included:
• A Mindful Eating for Beginners Handbook, PDF.
• Links to mindful eating and self-compassion meditations and practices.
