Take advantage of the great opportunities offered by Healthy for Life,
the T. E. Atkins University of Missouri Wellness Program!
Eat for Life Classes:
This ten week program uses mind-body practices (meditations and yoga), the principles of mindful and intuitive eating, skills training, and group support to guide you in making lifestyle changes that will help you create a healthier relationship to your food, mind, and body. If you have a history of chronic dieting, have rigid "healthy" rules about eating, or find yourself eating when you're stressed, bored, or unhappy, this may be the program for you. This non-judgmental, non-diet approach helps you use your internal physical cues to guide what and when you eat. Books and recordings are provided with the course. These programs partially fulfill the Coaching & Wellness step for Miners on the Move!
