If you sat, quietly and listened to your body, what would it tell you? Are you low on iron? Are you hormones out of balance?  Is your stomach too acidic?

I learned from some farmers at a conference last spring on “pastured animals” that when cows are deficient in certain minerals they seek out them out for example by gnawing on tree bark.

Are we as humans that “in tune” with our bodies?  All cows do all day is pretty much eat grass. But we humans are busy. We’ve got alarm clocks ringing, never ending “to do” lists, demand schedules, emails to return, phones to answer, a house to clean… Our mind is spinning with things to accomplish.

But what if you slowed down your body, quieted your mind and listened, really listened, to what you need to not only nourish yourself with food, but also to find more peace, balance and passion in your life?

I’m excited to be partnering with yoga instructor and life coach, Tara Whitney, to do help you just that. During four two-hour seminars, Tara will start out with simple meditation and yoga exercises that will slow your body down, clear your head, and challenge you to listen to yourself.

I will introduce you to a new way of thinking about food that doesn’t focus on deprivation or dieting, but listening to what your body needs.  We’ll use tools such as food and mood journal, menu planning and we’ll also do some body cleansing to help your body clear out the toxic debris so you can hear you’re your body needs. I’ll be offering up superfoods to help you recharge your battery and get you out of your food rut.

The program is designed to help you:

• increase their awareness of how certain foods impact your energy level, mental clarity and hormonal balance
• strengthen your body and help build flexibility
• incorporate yoga and meditation practice into your busy schedules
• connect and build a supportive community with people on a similar journey
• prevent disease and chronic health problems.
