Mindful Meals

This 7-module online series, "Mindful Meals," is guided by Dr. Theresa DeLorenzo, a former Program Director at Logan University with expertise in nutrition and human performance, and a trained yoga instructor. Dr. DeLorenzo brings a holistic approach to understanding eating habits.

The program is designed to help attendees cultivate mindful eating practices. Participants will learn to listen to their body's needs, honor cravings, and identify appropriate portion sizes and eating times. The curriculum integrates case studies, assignments, podcasts, and yoga practices related to chakras for a comprehensive learning experience.
