Mindful Eating Workshop @ FVT Sacramento – Fall 2023

We are looking at putting on a Mindful Eating Workshop at FVT Sacramento in the Fall of 2023!

If you are interested, please reply with the words “MINDFUL EATING” and you will be added to a list of potential participants.

This special event is for anyone who is looking to mend their relationship with food to experience true healing, joy, and liberation.

I organized this workshop at Core Balance Yoga studio in Lee’s Summit, MO in April of 2023, and it was a total success. But a bunch of people in Sacramento were bummed that they couldn’t make it. So, we’re thinking about doing another one at the Sacramento FVT studio location in the Fall!

We discussed topics and issues such as:

— What mindful eating is and what it is not
— Principles of mindful eating, including paying attention, being present, and non-judgmental awareness
— The science behind mindful eating and how it can help with weight management and overall health
— Various mindful eating techniques, such as mindful breathing, body awareness, and food appreciation
— How to tune in to hunger and fullness cues to avoid overeating
— How emotions can affect eating behavior
— Techniques for identifying emotional triggers and developing healthier coping mechanisms
— Practical tips for incorporating mindful eating into daily life
— Setting of mindful eating goals and discusing strategies for staying on track
— Resources for additional support and guidance
— Opportunity for feedback and questions

If you are interested, please reply with the words “MINDFUL EATING” and you will be added to a list of potential participants.

We need a minimum number of guests in order to secure the event – so don’t miss out on this great opportunity!
