Are you eating your feelings or wolfing down food on the go? Do you feel anxious around mealtimes or food choices? Have you ever wondered how meditation may affect your food choices?
What if we approached food the same way we approach yoga?
Doesn’t it make sense to adapt our food choices and our approach to eating food to our bodies needs just like we adapt a yoga pose to our specific anatomy and physiology!
Join Sara Lewis and Jay MacDonald for this mind/body realignment that will help you examine your eating habits, cravings, and introduce you to methods of mindful preparation.
Each week of the 30 day program consists of a different theme:
- Understanding why you crave certain foods and techniques for handling these cravings
- Learning the process for eating mindfully because HOW you eat is just as important as WHAT you eat
- Discovering the vast benefits of eating leafy greens and how to make them taste yummy
- Opportunity to practice meditation, breathwork and yoga asanas that promote good digestion

Prompts + Challenges
