Description

Enjoy mealtime to better meet your needs beyond hunger, including struggle-free digestion, emotional calm, and mental clarity. We are not only what we eat, but also what we digest. So could it be that how we eat is at least, if not more, important than what we eat?

From the wisdom of Ayurveda, Yoga, and personal healing experience, acquire tools to approach mealtime with ease, fully enjoy eating and enhance digestion. We will explore how our external environment, emotions, and sensory awareness impact our ability to digest our food and experiences at mealtime.

Take away tips for the changing your approach with the seasons and times of day. Bring your curiosity and perhaps someone with whom you often share a meal.
