Laura Cipullo, RD | MINDFULNESS CLASSES

Another word for mindful is aware. Being mindful or self-aware is of utmost importance when changing your relationship with food and body. It may be something as simple as taking a breath before your meal or learning to eat using the five senses. It can be awareness of thoughts, feelings, and sensations. Being mindful also includes meditation, whether it be for one minute or twenty. Mindfulness helps with portion management, eating all foods—even cupcakes. Incorporating a mindful lifestyle is beneficial and accessible.

In March, 2017, Laura Cipullo Whole Nutrition Services of NYC opened a L’ifestyle Lounge in NJ to give you a second safe space to learn and practice self care. The L’ifestyle Lounge offers yoga, mindfulness and nutrition sessions. This is a weight neutral space, free of fad diet talk and accepting of all body types and ages. We welcome diversity and embrace differences. This is your new self-care studio where you will build a foundation on compassion and inner strength. You will learn how to use your best coping tool – the breath and of course, have time for just you. Melt away your worries and chillax with us:

Mindfulness Services at the L’ifestyle Lounge

Reserve a cushion/mat/chair and just chill. Join our 45 minute mindfulness
meditations. Mindfulness can decrease your counter regulatory hormones such as

cortisol and epinephrine. Turn off the outside world and tune in to your breath.

This is about you and you only.

Intro to Mindfulness

Join L’ifestyle Lounge founder and author Laura Cipullo, RD, CEDRD, RYT for a 10-week introduction to mindfulness. Each week will be themed around yoga’s ethical disciplines (Yamas) and observances (Niyamas) to develop a fundamental path towards being “in the moment” each moment in a meaningful way. More than just being present but truly enjoying the experience of living your life!

Expect movement suitable for every body along with discussion and varied meditations. No experience is necessary and everyone is welcome. An excellent series for those who would like to go a bit beyond the poses of yoga.

Classes are offered in the group setting and private sessions as well.
