    Modern science shows that 95% of your body shape is due to the food you eat and not exercise. Learn to choose real, whole foods that fuel your body and nourish your mind at the full potential and add yoga and qigong exercises to your routine to develop strength and flexibility, to increase awareness and mental resilience to break free from pain, stress, disease and toxicity.
    It's not only that you are what you eat, but your food influences your mood. Less than half of the cells in the body are human. The rest belong to microorganisms that affect the health, mood and whether certain people respond better to certain medications. For exampleGut bacteria also produce hundreds of neurochemicals that the brain uses to regulate basic physiological processes as well as mental processes such as learning, memory and mood. For example, gut bacteria manufacture about 95 percent of the body's supply of serotonin, which influences both mood and gastrointestinal activity.
    One of the most powerful steps you can take to improve your health, boost energy levels, and prevent chronic diseases is to move to a wholefoods plant-based diet. Science shows that changing your nutrition is a powerful way to live longer, help the environment, and reduce your risk of getting sick.
    There’s excellent scientific evidence that many chronic diseases can be prevented, controlled, or even reversed with a whole-food, plant-based diet. Scientific research highlighted in the landmark book The China Study shows that a plant-based diet can reduce the risk of type-2 diabetes, heart disease, certain types of cancer, and other major illnesses. Many people also report bigger fitness payoffs, more energy, reduced inflammation, and better health outcomes after making the switch.
    There are several major benefits to moving to plant-based nutrition, all supported by excellent science. These benefits include:
Easy weight management: People who eat a plant-based diet tend to be leaner than those who don’t, and the diet makes it easy to lose weight and keep it off—without counting calories.
Disease prevention: Whole-food, plant-based eating can prevent, halt, or even reverse chronic diseases, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
A lighter environmental footprint: A plant-based diet places much less stress on the environment.
   ... It’s time to rethink your relationship with food...
     Dieting does not work. Exercise alone does not work. Starving yourself does not work. Instead,
     Improve your health, release pain and stress and create a more embodied presence that’s caring and kind by joining this 90 days transformational program.

Content & Approach: ( 39 hours of live classes, 3 classes/week, unlimited group support)
Mindfulness in Nutrition: Â Unlearn the bad programming and learn how to eat to improve your health and wellbeing. A good nutrition program leads to: Â improved skin, energy increase, improved injury cognitition, improved feritility, improved mood, better sleep.
Mindfulness of the Breath: Â Yoga involves a series of poses, also called postures, and emphasizes breathing techniques. The postures teach you to stretch and strengthen your muscles, which helps reduce muscular tension, build flexibility and strength, and improve balance and bone strength. A yoga session requires precise movement and mindful breathing. It is much more than a simple exercise or stretching routine. Unlike running or lifting weights, yoga begins when mind and body are connected, united. Its many mental and physical benefits have been confirmed by multiple studies: yoga postures (asana), breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation all work to help lower the blood pressure, heart rate and cortisol levels in the body, which in turn benefit the mind.
Mindfulness of the Movement: Qigong is a moving meditation exercise composed of soft, flowing bodyweight movements. The exercises date back nearly 3000 years to ancient China. The movements are designed to stimulate the acupuncture meridian and their associated organs to promote self-healing. The soft, slow, gentle movements of Qigong practice stimulate the body to increase muscular stability, flexibility and range of motion around all joints of the body. As with all meditation practices, Qigong has an incredibly calming effect on the central nervous system. As the mind, breath and body are connected to the moment, the parasympathetic nervous system is engaged and the brain releases all sorts of feel-good hormones, such as serotonin and dopamine. These chemicals act as our natural opiates, creating a relaxed state which fosters healing on the cellular level. With our opiates flowing, cortisol, which is the stress hormone of the body, naturally decreases.
Group Coaching and Teams: Food and health are team sports; people gravitate toward the average of the people around them. For most, this is not good news. The GROW GOOD HABITS program places you in a group of people that can work together and support each other towards the same goals, every step of the way. This powerful framework helps you get the best results possible.
Work With The Six Human Hungers: Most people eat either far more or far less than they need, and often they do both. They eat too much of what they should and not enough of what they must. In this program, you’ll work with the SIX CORE HUMAN HUNGERS to help you interpret what your body is trying to tell you, and give it what it truly needs.
The GROW GOOD HABITS Program Requires No Special Foods: Healthier, organic foods can sometimes cost a bit more, but there are no special shakes or anything else to purchase from us to complete this program. Through our classes, group support and self-observation you will gain a new awareness in your relationship with food and yourself which will lead to a fundamental change in your own body and your mental health.Â
The classes will take place online on Monday and Thursday at 19:00 and on Saturdays at 10:00. Unlimited group support, with daily updates, information, health advice and recipes.Â
