Mindful Eating: Free Yourself from the Diet Mentality
With Theresa Nygren and Angela Mazur
November 3, 2019
IDEAL FOR: All levels including beginners. Meditation experience is not necessary.
Join us as we discover how mindful eating can liberate us from our struggle with food and body weight, helping us learn to trust our bodies in the process.
We all know diets don’t work. Perhaps they provide immediate loss, but in the long run we end up heavier and more discouraged. This workshop, which is based on new research out of Duke University, will teach you how to:
– Interrupt the stress/ eating cycle
– Bring mindful self-compassion to replace the inner critic
– Trust your body and eat when there is true hunger
– Find other ways to nourish yourself
The format will include both mini-lecture, group sharing, guided meditation, mindful eating, and written reflection and sharing.
