Sunday May 30, 2021

Sunday June 13, 2021
from 1.30 to 3.30pm.
We don’t often think about it, but our bodies are constantly busy deciding where to send energy to in order for us to function and feel good. Energy is needed by the brain to think clearly and energy is necessary for our muscles to practice yoga. What about energy directed for the purpose of digestion, hormone secretion or detoxification?
This 3-part workshop explores how nutrition and yoga can positively influence the process of energy distribution in our body and mind.
Part I will explore nutrition and yoga for the digestive system.
Part II will explore nutrition and yoga for hormonal balance.
Part III will explore nutrition and yoga for optimal detoxification.
The first hour of each workshop explains which foods can give energy and which ones are taking it away. The second hour of each workshop is a yoga class focusing on a specific organ to support optimal energy levels.
Upon finishing the 3-part workshop you will have a burst of energy and are hungry for more!
- Dutch or English depending on the preference of the participants.
- No prior experience with nutrition and yoga is required.
- Workshops can be held online.
Price: 68 euros for all 3*. CLICK HERE FOR SIGN UP
*You may book one part of the series independently. However it is recommended to book all three together in order to gain a more holistic view on how digestion, hormones and detoxification work hand in hand.

Fatigue, feeling bloated, skin problems, cravings, headaches, concentration issues or trouble with stabilizing your weight? Many symptoms are a result of inflammatory processes happening in the body.
As a functional nutrition coach I explain what to pay attention to in the diet when it comes to minimizing inflammatory processes. Discover which foods can be used to reduce or prevent physical or mental unease so that you are experiencing optimal health.
With an overwhelming amount of nutritional information out there, our personal food choices can be made more difficult.
This workshop answers questions such as:
- Why do we need carbohydrates, proteins and fats?
- Buying organic food or not?
- How much protein do I need and why?
- What are anti-inflammatory fats?
- How to balance your blood sugar and prevent insulin resistance?
- Fasting – why and how long for?
Having trouble understanding how nutrition can optimize your health and well-being, then this workshop is for you. You will leave this workshop motivated to include new and nutritious foods into your own diet or that of your family.
