YogaRenew: Mindful Eating Online Course

Course program

Mindful Eating Online Course is a 50-hour certification program from YogaRenew that teaches the principles and practices of mindful eating — a structured, evidence-informed approach to developing a healthier relationship with food.

This course is for healthcare professionals (dietitians, nutritionists, psychologists, therapists), yoga teachers, wellness coaches, and anyone personally interested in healing their relationship with food and body image.

The curriculum covers a broad range of topics. You will start with the foundations of mindfulness and meditation, then move into specific mindful eating practices designed to help you tune into hunger and fullness signals, recognize emotional eating patterns, and develop a more intentional approach to meals.

The program includes practical tools throughout. There are five guided mindfulness meditations, nine structured mindful eating practices, one mindful walking practice, and one mindful movement session rooted in yoga. You will also work through practice logs and inquiry sheets that help you apply what you learn to daily life.

Nutrition fundamentals are woven into the curriculum, covering food basics without prescribing rigid dietary rules. The course also addresses eating disorders at an overview level, offering context for understanding disordered eating patterns and how mindful eating differs from traditional dieting approaches.

Body image is another key focus area. The program explores how body perception affects eating behavior and provides frameworks for developing a more grounded, accepting relationship with your body.

The course is led by Rajaa Azouqa, a certified nutritionist and yoga teacher with over 16 years of mindfulness meditation practice and more than 10,000 hours of personal meditation experience. Rajaa holds certifications from the University of Toronto and University of California, Berkeley, and is a certified MB-EAT (Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training) instructor.

The course is delivered entirely online in a self-paced format with lifetime access to all materials. There is also an optional weekly live session held every Wednesday at 12 PM EST, giving you the chance to connect with the instructor and fellow students in real time.

Upon completion, you receive the YogaRenew Mindful Eating Certification. YogaRenew is a registered Yoga Alliance continuing education provider, and this course qualifies for 50 hours of continuing education credits.

    This was the BEST thing I’ve done for myself in so long! I never imagined I could teach yoga-I started the course to just learn more and have a community to practice with-but I have already started teaching and I can’t imagine not!

  • Caitlyn C.

    I'm so grateful to have discovered YogaRenew's training course—it's truly the best online program I've ever taken. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, offering a perfect balance of theory and practice that makes learning both engaging and effective.

  • Amy M.

    The flexibility of the program is a huge advantage. Being able to learn at my own pace without sacrificing the depth or integrity of the training made the experience both manageable and rewarding. Despite being online, the support from instructors is genuine and responsive. They offer thoughtful feedback and create a welcoming learning environment that feels personal and encouraging.

    YogaRenew's training program is GREAT! I was able to work through the lessons at my own pace and finish with confidence that I am ready to lead classes! I finished on a Friday and confidently taught my first class on the following Tuesday. Highly recommend!

  • Zita K.

    I just completed my YogaRenew teacher training and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The course was very well structured and surprisingly deep for an online format. I always felt guided, supported, and encouraged to explore my own teaching style.

Keep practicing with YogaRenew
