Ayurveda and Yoga are the time tested ancient system of medicine which is now popular in most western cultures. It is a science that not only addresses to bodily infirmity but encourages social, spiritual, emotional and psychological well being. The Kerala specific Ayurvedic rejuvenation and “Panchakarma” Therapies have a unique history of evolution and offer many exceptional methods for total body rejuvenation. Panchakarma is a complete therapeutic regime that identifies “doshas” or the imbalances in the body that arises due to pathological conditions and detoxifies the body with therapeutic massage using specific herbal oils, strict dietary and life style changes.

“Stressful living, inadequate exercise and poor nutrition make it easy to gain weight and hard to take it off and keep it off,” declares Ilchi Lee, president of the University of Brain Education (South Korea). He adds, “A large part of the problem and solution is what is happening to our digestion, and therefore our health. Most people experience a build up of waste in their intestines, which negatively affects all our vital functions — including the brain — even leading to an unfavorable emotional impact.”

Lee recommends the following seven strategies for a diet that can deliver greater health, happiness and peace:

1. Eat mostly natural and organic food, especially raw and whole foods grown locally, such as seasonal fruit and vegetables.

2. Drink five to eight glasses of water a day, but not for 2 hours before or after a meal.

3. Eat smaller amounts of food at each meal — less than 10.6-14 ounces (300-400 grams).

4. Take small bites and chew each one at least 30 times.

5. Eat only when your body tells you it needs food.

6. Cook your own food.

7. Make eating into meditation — with a peaceful and grateful mind — in order to derive greater energy from your food.

Eve St. John has launched a trio of new age interactive fitness DVDs unlike all others.

A sought-after class leader and personal trainer for over a decade, St. John developed her signature techniques by mastering a slate of different training techniques, including Pilates, Tai Chi, Kick Boxing, Yoga, Power Flex, Resist A Ball, and of course, stalwarts such as Aerobics, Step and Personal Training. But it is the way she pulls the most effective aspects of each discipline and combines them into a focused fitness strategy that is so unique.

Three DVD’s inspired by specific needs: Eve St. John, who has been asked for years by her clients to make a DVD, resisted for quite a while. Then she decided to make a group of DVDs, and the result is a trio of stand-alone discs that are fun, challenging, and most importantly, that get results:

A mother of two, St. John got the fitness bug when she was shedding her pregnancy weight. Although she had a business degree and a background in human resources, the demands of two small children made a typical office job impractical, so she got certified to teach an occasional aerobics class. As her kids grew, St. John increased her knowledge of cutting-edge training techniques, took on private clients and began teaching a roster of diverse classes at renowned area gyms. Now a single mother, fitness is her full-time job and her passion.
