🧘‍ The Exercise Psychology Lab in the Department of Human Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences is recruiting adults affiliated with Northeastern University (students, faculty, staff, or alumni) for The Mind-Body Project — a research study focused on mindful eating and yoga.

This 8-week program is designed for adults (18 years or older) who may be experiencing challenges related to stress, eating habits, or weight. Participants will attend weekly mindful eating workshops and be encouraged to attend on-campus yoga classes. Researchers are exploring if these programs are useful and enjoyable for participants and how these practices can support overall well-being and body composition.

✨ Free nutrition counseling and yoga classes
✨ DXA body composition scans
✨ A chance to contribute to cutting-edge research in mind-body health
