Eat for Life

FOR MU FACULTY AND STAFF

Eat for Life is a new 10 week program that uses mindfulness as the foundation for learning how to create a healthy relationship with your food, mind, and body.  If you have a history of chronic dieting, have rigid “healthy” rules about eating, or find yourself eating when you’re stressed, bored, or unhappy, then this may be the program for you.  Using mind-body practices such as meditation and yoga you can learn how to listen to the wisdom of the body for better health and well-being. There is a $40 materials fee (includes CDs and books).  To enroll in the next class, please contact Lynn Rossy at RossyL@umsystem.edu.

Eating Mindfully

FOR MU STUDENTS:

Eating Mindfully is an eight-week program utilizing the process of mindful awareness to help people start breaking the habit of eating when stressed, bored, or unhappy.  This Fall we will be meeting on Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 from September 16 through November 4.  This program will involve learning mind-body practices such as meditation and yoga that can help us stay present and aware of what we put in our bodies and how it makes us feel.  These practices can counteract the habitual urges to eat that can so easily arise.  If you are interested in participating and would like to enroll, please contact Beth Shoyer at shoyerb@health.missouri.edu.  There is a $15 materials fee.
