Mindful Eating

Item Description

Eat for Life is a 10-week program that uses mindfulness as the foundation for learning how to create a healthy relationship with your food, mind, and body. Using mind--body practices such as meditation and yoga you can learn how to listen to the wisdom of the body for better health and well-being. This is a “non-diet” approach to eating that advocates self and body acceptance as the first step in making changes. We use a non-judgmental and compassionate approach to re-learning how to use your internal physical cues to guide what and when you eat. This program teaches the concepts found in The Mindfulness-Based Eating Solution, the principles of intuitive eating, and relevant research, synthesized to make sense out of the multitude of messages that we get about what, when, and how to eat. Discover the pleasure of taking care of yourself in a way that nourishes and heals.

The online Eat for Life class is live and will meet one day a week for 1-1/2 hours.  There are formal and informal mindfulness practices to do every day during the course of the class. There is also a Facebook page to help you process your questions and insights with  other participants in the group.

This is an online class that can be sold in or out of the USA.
