How often do you start your day off on track and feel hopeful you’ll be able to see it through until you go to bed? You eat a healthy breakfast, a nourishing lunch but then at some point in the afternoon or evening, the wheels start to come off. Once they loosen it’s hard to maintain control and it becomes a slippery slope. Before you know it you are head first in a 5-pound bag of M&Ms and can’t seem to stop yourself.

If only you had more willpower or discipline, right? There’s a common misconception that the more effort you put in, the more results you’ll get.

Relief comes from getting to the bottom of why you lose your willpower. You already have some great habits that are helping you work towards your goals. You start many days with good intentions and have a plan. You’re even able to string a couple of “good” days together and have likely had success with a way of eating for a while. You know you can maintain your discipline for a certain period of time, but why are you able to keep it going for a while but not for the long-term?

There is a way to get freedom from the frustrating rollercoaster you’ve been on!

During this webinar you’ll identify the main reason you self-sabotage and what’s actually taking you off track so you can finally break the cycle!

What You’ll Learn:

* What’s actually happening when you’re stress eating, binge eating, mindlessly eating or are generally eating out of alignment with your goals
* Why food feels worth it in the moment but not after the fact
* Why lack of willpower isn’t the reason you’re not able to stay on track with your healthy habits
* How we turn to food when we’re lacking a sense of safety
* What leads YOU to self-sabotage

This webinar is free to attend but registration is required. A recording will be provided if you're not able to attend live

Families are welcome to watch the parade from the sidewalk along the playground fence weather permitting.

Gal-entine's Day, anyone? All kinds of partners are welcome in this Valentine’s Day class - couple up for yoga with a friend, loved one, or your partner. Enjoy the benefits of movement and rest on this day dedicated to love.

Asra will guide you through a series of partner yoga poses, which will work to ground and open you. This will be a practice of caretaking for yourself and a loved one. What better way to celebrate love than through the peace created by gentle attention to body, breath, and mind?

Bring your partner to the studio or in front of your computer and we’ll take care of the rest.

How many times do you eat when you aren’t even hungry? Do you ever feel hungry but logically know it isn’t possible (aka phantom hunger)? Or, you’re in automatic pilot and don’t even check in to see if you’re hungry or not.

There have likely been times where you didn’t think about food and then other times you just couldn’t resist it. The food didn’t change, so what did?

How we eat is a symptom when we’re feeling emotionally or physiologically at risk in some way. In order to end self-sabotage and experience sustainable change with your relationship with food, we need to understand why you eat when you aren’t hungry. You might have some ideas like when you’re sad, bored or angry but there’s likely more to it.

During our 5-day deep dive, we’re going to get to the bottom of why you know what to do but you’re not consistently doing it. It’s judgment-free and fun! You’ll receive support from me and a community of others on a similar path to yours.

Here’s how the guided exploration is structured:
• Day 1: Understand your triggers and what leads to eating out of alignment with your goals
• Day 2: Identify which triggers led you to eat that day
• Day 3: Connect your triggers with your eating and create space to reduce your cravings
• Day 4: Reduce the pull to food by identifying what you truly want/need
• Day 5: Celebrate what you’ve uncovered and what has shifted

Ins and Outs:
• You’ll have access to a judgment-free, safe space in a private community for connection and conversation
• Daily emails will be sent with the lesson for that day
• A Q&A call will be held on Wednesday to answer all your questions, discuss what you’re uncovering and to chat through anywhere you’re feeling stuck
• Cost: FREE!

Begin the new year with intention. Learn how to meditate from the ground up with simple techniques you can easily apply at home.
