122. How to Stop Emotional Eating with Yoga and Breathwork
Welcome to Episode 122 of the Emotional Eats Podcast!
CLICK here for a FREE tapping video to STOP EMOTIONAL EATING
Use this short, powerful 7-minute tapping (EFT) session to help stop emotional eating after work, before dinner, or whenever the cravings hit hard.
https://kimhynes.com/late-day-emotional-eating-tapping-video
In this deeply practical and calming episode of the Emotional Eats Podcast, Kim sits down with certified yoga therapist Cheryl Gordon to explore how yoga, breathwork, and self-compassion can become powerful tools to break the cycle of emotional eating.
They discuss how slowing down, being present, and reconnecting with your body can shift you out of habit-driven eating patterns and into a place where you make choices from your higher self.
Cheryl guides listeners through on-the-spot joint-freeing and breathing exercises to process emotions, calm cravings, and reset the nervous system.
If you’ve ever felt stuffed in your clothes, eaten to soothe emotions, or believed you must have chocolate after dinner to survive, this episode will help you understand why and what you can do to change it.
You’ll learn why emotional eating isn’t just about food, how your nervous system plays a role, and how yoga and mindful breathing can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and in control.
Highlights
Cheryl’s journey with emotional eating and how yoga transformed her relationship with food and herself
Why self-compassion is the foundation of mindful eating
The truth about emotional eating in any body size
Why emotional healing is not a quick, linear process
How yoga helps process emotions, reduce stress hormones, and spark the “relaxation response”
The four guidelines for choosing a yoga practice that supports emotional healing
The Joint Freeing Series: a gentle, “boring” but powerful yoga sequence for midlife women
How even a few minutes of breathwork can shift cravings and calm anxiety
Why your nervous system pushes you toward habitual eating—and how to work with it instead of against it

What They Say
Discover What My Clients Are Saying
“You have a unique and special way.”
The most significant thing that changed in my work with you was that my all consuming, soul-killing obsession with food was relieved through gentle healing and integration. I knew in my heart that you really cared about me and had my best interests at heart which helped me to re-connect with my own ability to love and support myself. When that part felt back in balance I think the food piece also re-balanced itself. Another incredible gift you offer is a super well resourced tool box! There was also plenty of deep diving into core wounding and reviewing old stories, all of which you skillfully guided me though and helped me to integrate in order to heal.
Thank you so much for everything.

“It seems so simple now!”
Kim taught me to listen to my body. I now can slow down and find out what I really need…which is not always food. I also learned it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I struggled with dieting and then overeating. I have found a happy place where I can just be. She also taught me so much about food, reading labels and how good real food can be. Thank you.

“I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me.”
My reason for hiring Kim is different as I already knew how to eat healthy and was already in great shape. I wanted to learn more about digestion and overall gut health which is super important for all aspects of life. She is amazing! Very easy to talk too and she made me feel very comfortable and I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me. She is very nice and definitely very knowledgeable! She was able to help me in every way I needed and then some! Anyone who needs any form of help that she offers because she is top notch and well worth the money and time!Could not be happier with the decision I made to hire her as my coach!
K. C.
“Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives.”
I feel an enthusiasm for embracing routines and habits that encompass not only my body, but spirit and mind. Kim is a beautiful, genuine person who is intuitive and kind.
Her support and positive perspective always turn around my attitude and help me see the favorable aspect to decisions I’ve made in a non-judgemental way.
Access to this type of reassurance is perpetual and brings peace of mind. Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives. Kim has been instrumental in bringing me home to my truest self.
