Who would have thought what's going on in our stomach could influence
what's going on in our head? Or that over 90% of our Serotonin (also
known as the 'happiness hormone') is produced in our belly! With a
growing body of evidence suggesting that anxiety is less of a chemical
imbalance in the brain, and more a chemical imbalance in the gut,
it’s important to know and understand these mind-gut connections
to live a happy, healthy life. Join experienced yoga teacher and
qualified holistic nutritionist, Leanne Gerich, in this 2-hour
Food-Mood workshop. We'll explore modern scientific understandings of
the gut-brain connection, how the gut affects our mental health and
nutritional strategies to help stress and anxiety starting in the
gut.
Expect science-based lectures, connecting with others in a supportive
space, Q&A session on an anxiety-friendly diet, mindful eating
practices and yummy gut-promoting yoga. All levels and experience
welcome. Suitable for absolute beginners.

TESTIMONIALS
"Leanne’s healthy gut workshop was informative while also being
relaxed. Nutritionist Leanne has in-depth knowledge of how to improve
gut health and how the microbiome is connected to mental health.
Leanne’s presentation and Q&A were followed by a yin session
focused on twists and aiding digestion. I left with several easy tips
on how to take better care of my bacterial buddies." — Rosie
