Mindful Eating for the Holidays Workshop
In this Mindful Eating workshop, we explore how you can use mindful eating and compassion skills to maximise the joy of eating and overcome challenges this festive season.
Mindful Eating allows you to break out of automatic pilot and truly taste and enjoy ALL your favourite foods. We also stay in tune with what is going on in the body and with our thoughts and emotions. One of the benefits of cultivating this interoceptive awareness is that we can gain maximum satisfaction from our food, but also recognise when we’ve had enough.
On this page you will find out more information about what we cover in this Mindful Eating class, the price, date and about your trainers for the course.

Christmas is a time in which we can share meals with friends and family and enjoy our favourite holiday foods. But it can also be a challenging time; we may find ourselves eating past the point of pleasure, feeling guilty or stressed about food, or feeling like we’ve ‘blown it’. Mindful Eating helps us to approach our eating in a kind, curious and non-judgemental way. It offers us tools and techniques to maximise the joy of eating at Christmas while coping with the challenges we may face.
In this Mindful Eating class you will learn
In this 90 minute workshop we will explore:
- Some of the challenges of eating at Christmas
- How you can use mindfulness to overcome challenges and maximise the joy and satisfaction of eating (with some of your favourite Christmas foods)
- How to tune into your body cues such as hunger & fullness (interoceptive awareness)
- How to motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism
The format of the workshop will be experiential with guided mindfulness and mindful eating practices. The workshop will be interactive with opportunities for you to connect with your fellow participants as well as to share experiences and ask questions.
