Details
Did you know your gut and your brain are in constant conversation? What we eat can shape how we feel, and how we feel can shape our gut health. This three-day training with Celia Roberts BSc explores that food-mood connection through Yoga Therapy, Ayurveda and meditation. You'll learn how the gut microbiome, the vagus nerve and the gut-brain axis influence mental wellbeing, and how yoga, mindful eating and simple lifestyle changes can support both. Across the three days you'll look at: • The philosophy of Yoga, Meditation and Ayurveda, including Ayurvedic body types • The science of the gut-brain connection, from the microbiome to epigenetics • How emotions, stress and food affect mental health, body image and eating patterns • Practical tools including compassion-focused therapy, Kundalini Yoga and mindful eating The course is ideal for yoga teachers, therapists, health professionals and anyone curious about the food-mood connection. It can also be taken as an elective towards a full BIYOME yoga or meditation certification.
