In our workshops and private sessions on Yoga for Mindful Eating, we learn to trust our bodies and to eat with joy, connecting with our innate wisdom and wholeness. We offer yoga, mindfulness, and group support to reconnect with our bodies and start to get control over emotional and binge eating or restricting. We practice being with the urge to eat without reacting, and learning to eat more consciously. We provide guided meditation, asana (postures), pranayama (breath work), experiential techniques, group sharing, and other healing modalities. Generally, no yoga experience is required, and all body shapes are encouraged to practice.

“Mindful eating is very pleasant. We are aware of the people that are sitting around us. We are aware of the food on our plates. This is a deep practice. Each morsel of food is an ambassador from the cosmos. When we pick up a piece of a vegetable, we look at it for half a second. We look mindfully to really recognize the piece of food, the piece of carrot or string bean. We should know that this is a piece of carrot or a string bean. We identify it with our mindfulness: “I know this is a piece of carrot. This is a piece of string bean.” It only takes a fraction of a second.
Some of us, while looking at a piece of carrot, can see the whole cosmos in it, can see the sunshine in it, can see the earth in it. It has come from the whole cosmos for our nourishment.”
