Nutrition and Yoga Weekend Retreat
May 31-June 2, 2019
Nutrition and Yoga Weekend Retreat
Every day we are exposed to environmental toxins from air, water and food. In addition the effects of stress create toxic effects for the mind. Over a lifetime accumulated toxins can then create disease. Some people try to reverse the effects of toxins with vegetarian diet or supplements, with limited success.
Research on enzymes which earned the 2009 Nobel prize for Medicine showed that the enzyme Telomerase can extend the life of the body’s cells. Subsequent research has shown that a properly balanced wholefood plant based diet together with proper exercise and stress control can increase the functioning of Telomerase, rejuvenating the cells.
This weekend program will equip you with the basic foundation theory and practice for proper diet and healthy lifestyle, with the guidance of health coach Nirmala (Tran Lan Huong) and Sivananda Yoga Resort and Training Center.
Over 3 days you will have the experience of healthy, traditional, classical Yoga Life, following a carefully designed schedule to help you increase your capacity to detoxify and heal both body and mind.
You will learn about the basic principles of good nutrition and health, and how to prepare well balanced vegetarian meals. While living in the pure natural environment of the Yoga Resort you will experience the integrated classical practices of Yoga and meditation for good health and rejuvenation. You will leave equipped with knowledge and techniques that can be applied in daily life.
