2014 FARE National Food Allergy Conference

Research shows that stressors associated with managing life-threatening food allergies have a negative impact on quality of life. Research also demonstrates that yoga is associated with a decrease in symptoms of anxiety and depression, and an increase in self-compassion.

This workshop is about enhancing the quality of life of those impacted by food allergies. During this transformational, 90-minute workshop, teens will quiet their minds, gain awareness of their body and body sensations, and learn tools for coping with stress and regulating emotions. After participating in a gentle yoga practice and experiential activities, participants will leave refreshed, refocused, and ready to live a FULL LIFE with food allergies.
