For participants who eat when they are happy, angry or sad those challenges will be addressed through mindful eating. Participants who can’t figure out the right foods to eat, careful experimentation, over the course will make the answer clear. Is it best to eat three meals a day or several, high-protein or low-fat? The answer will be different for each person based on their Metabolic Type, activity level, age, and lifestyle. Through the YFBE course you will come out with a customized diet and lifestyle plan.

Greater body awareness leads to mindful food choices. Gentle yoga practice and pranayama require no experience. One session of yoga will be more vigorous but will be scaled to abilities.
