Mindful Eating Group Classes
 
Mindful eating is an approach that focuses on recognizing and honoring the body’s signals around hunger and fullness, food enjoyment and satisfaction, and helping people navigate hurdles on their unique paths toward nourishment. Mindful eating principles can be used with any type of eating approach, but these classes are not focused on weight loss. Small-group classes provide a safe space for learning, sharing and practicing mindful eating techniques. This class if intended for people over age 18. Couples welcome!
Min 5/Max 10.
