Six Key Pillars of Health

NUTRITION

The key to optimal nutrition is to favour a variety of fresh, whole foods (including plenty of vegetables, fruits, spices and herbs) while eliminating refined, processed foots which are stripped of vital nutrients and contain a lot of sugar, artificial ingredients and other harmful chemicals.  Processed foods are a source of chronic inflammation, which is the underlying cause of many serious diseases.  However, fresh, whole foods decrease inflammation and provide valuable vitamins, minerals and fibre. ​ What to eat for your dosha (take a personality assessment) to bring your life back into balance.  So with the FBY lifestyle nutrition component you will learn how to to consume the right foods at the right time which will fire up your metabolism because feeding your body with nutrients in a constructive manner enables energy to flow thus fuelling your body for optimal health.

YOGA

One of the greatest harms we can do to our body is lack of movement which unfortunately is a rather familiar feature of a sedentary modern lifestyle. There are so many benefits of moving regularly and in particular, of starting or developing a yoga practice.  Here I are some reasons as why it's good to move. ​ Moving the body physically lights up the energy power from within, increasing energy and productivity, longevity and happiness.   ​ For increased stamina, strength and flexibility, increased muscle tone and bone health, co-ordination, blood circulation and oxygen supply to cells and tissues.  For more restful, sound sleep. Balanced hormones, stress reduction, mood stability and lower incidence of depression as movement helps release brain chemicals (endorphins) that act as natural mood lifters and pain relievers.  It also helps foster higher sense of well-being and self esteem.   ​ Movement is good for ideal weight distribution and management, decreases food cravings, blood sugar levels and risk of diabetes.  It increases brain health, sharpening memory and lowering risk for dementia.  It increases heart health, lowering risk for cardiovascular disease, decreasing inflammation and risk for age-related diseases.

SLEEP

There are several benefits of the proper amount and type of sleep you achieve. During deep sleep your body releases accumulated stress and physical toxins, balances hormones, strengthens the immune system and repairs and regenerates cells and tissues.

SELF CARE

Using your senses to look after yourself - nourishing yourself fully to a healthier, happy you.  Using essential oils, listening to music, spending time in nature, observing beautiful surroundings, self massage - doing the things that restore, replenish and rejuvinate your mind and body.

MEDITATION

Ayurvedic meditation and breathing techniques teach you how to be quiet and still. Taking time out in your day to look after yourself, observe and regulate yourself brings you nearer a the place of contemplation rather than reactivity.  Live more from the heart and less from the mind. In the meditation unit of an ayurvedic lifestyle course you will learn how to tap into the calmest, most nourishing place on earth—so that you’re not dependent on external factors—people, place or things — to make you feel grounded, happy and energised. The aim is to have you go from feeling stressed, distracted and easily anxious to feeling calm, focused and content as you experience the depth and magic of a daily meditation practice. ​ Meditation is a simple practice that takes us to a state of profound relaxation that dissolves fatigue and the accumulated stress that accelerates ageing and the development of disease.

EMOTIONAL FREEDOM

Learning how to use your mind rather than letting your mind (ego) be in control all the time.  How to becoming more balanced by observing your thoughts  and noticing your emotional state. Learn about the seven biological responses and practical advice to calm and restore energy.
