Learn about the limiting beliefs holding you back on your weight loss journey and end the day with a yoga session

Today Ruth will help you understand your mind more and how limiting beliefs can prevent you from losing weight. This workshop is centered on how our habits and emotions can trigger us to overeat.

We will have ample free time after our workshop to enjoy the property and we will close out the evening with a yoga session and dinner. Today is about reclaiming our bodies and minds, while we enjoy the beauty of Craveiral. We will end the day with a brief Meditation session.
