Presented by: Amy LePage-Hansen, Yoga Therapist and Lauren Fowler, RDN, CD
Are you struggling with poor digestion or IBS-like symptoms?
Are you tired of feeling bad and worrying about how you’re going to feel after each meal?
Have you heard that “good digestion” is linked to more energy, clear skin, balanced weight, and less discomfort, yet you’re not really sure how it works or, more importantly, how this might work for you?
This 2-hour workshop will offer nutritional ways to improve your digestion through whole foods, mindful eating exercises, healing diets, and simple daily practices you can easily add into your life to start feeling better right away.
You will also experience therapeutic breath and yoga practices to release tension and stress in order to help your digestive system function at its best.
Join VTCIT’s own skilled Dietician and Therapeutic Yoga instructor as they guide you toward greater freedom through reducing, pain, discomfort, and anxiety so you can clean up your digestion, empower yourself with a new, customized skill set, and have more energy to live life on your own terms.
