Power of Food Festival & Rich Mix presents Eat Mindfully, Move Joyfully

Experience an engaging workshop lead by Nitu Pasricha, an AfN Registered Public Health Nutritionist with over fourteen years’ experience in NHS community health services and mindful movement facilitator Aditi Kaushavi. They bring together two powerful practices: Mindful Eating and Mindful Movement.

Part 1 – Mindful Eating with Nitu Pasricha
An engaging session exploring all aspects of Mindful Eating helping you to build a positive connection with food with clarity and confidence. This session will help you to:

• Understand the core principles of mindful eating and why they matter
• Discover a range of health benefits, including improved gut health, better blood sugar regulation, and healthy weight management
• Learn to recognise different types of hunger and tune into your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues
• Gain evidence-based mindfulness strategies to enhance emotional clarity and confidence
• Explore how mindful eating can contribute to a sustainable future by reducing food waste
• Take home practical Mindful Eating handouts to support your journey further

Nitu’s compassionate, evidence-based holistic approach to health and wellbeing supports all key pillars of health – nutrition, movement, sleep, and emotional wellbeing motivating you to make realistic, sustainable nutrition and holistic lifestyle changes tailored to your individual needs and preferences.

Part 2 – Mindful Movement with Aditi Kaushiva
Move to Thrive is a guided movement experience, blending breathwork, intuitive movement, emotional release, and joyful community dance. In this session you will:

• Begin with grounding and breath awareness to arrive fully in the present moment
• Explore gentle, guided, and free-form movement to release physical and mental tension
• Connect with your emotions and move in ways that feel nourishing and freeing
• Learn breathwork techniques to turn from your sympathetic (fight or flight, stress) to parasympathetic (rest and digest, calm) nervous system.
• Close with an uplifting, Bollywood-inspired dance flow — no choreography, just pure joy and celebration
• Leave feeling grounded, energised, and deeply connected to your body
• Take home simple, evidence-based tools and handouts to help you weave mindful movement into everyday life

Aditi’s sessions are accessible to all bodies, abilities, and energy levels – no experience required. You’re welcome to move with what feels right to your body in that moment.

Who it’s for: Adults (ages 18+) from all backgrounds; no prior experience needed
What to bring: Comfortable clothes to move in, a water bottle, and an open mind

Come as you are. Leave feeling empowered with practical evidence-based tools, a lighter heart, and a deeper connection with your food, your body, your mind, and your community.
