What are the factors that you consider when making decisions about food? Is it convenience, traditions, nourishment, pleasure, weight control or health? Do you eat for emotional comfort or are you addicted to certain foods? Are you at peace with your eating?

Can you identify with any of these beliefs about food?

• I need a coffee to get me going in the morning

• Desserts without sugar are not real desserts

• Vegetables give me gas

• Drinking wine daily is healthy

• I cannot be strong unless I eat meat or lots of protein

• Nutritional yeast is a healthy source of vitamin B12 and protein


If you know what foods to eat for your constitution, you will find balance and harmony in your sense of being as well as in your health. Some foods stimulate and can cause physical and mental stress; some foods produce a sense of heaviness and lethargy; while others are pure and balancing.


Join BAMM, Monday, April 27th at from 7-9pm for a workshop with Myra Lewin, author of "Freedom in your Relationship with Food: an Everyday Guide". Learn how the ancient traditions of Ayurveda and Yoga can help you feel and live better. Explore simple, intuitive approaches to food and preparation, and the process of eating and drinking. Discover how eating the best foods for your individual dosha (constitution) can lead to balance and harmony in your sense of being as well as in your health.

    This was a incredibly informative class that helped me understand foundational pieces to Ayurveda in a simple and understandable way. Myra did a wonderful job of communicating. It was really great to see the type of spices use and ingredients as she prepared us a delicious meal. She is wealth of information and I highly recommend her book. I will definitely ask her to speak to our group again!

    Great class, lots of good info. I'll definitely look more into Avuryeda, it makes so much sense - and the food was so delicious! Thanks Myra!
