    I Need Help!

    Wellness Haven is here to help you!


    “I am a stay-at-home mom. I do not exercise. At the most I walk sometimes. I also do not eat very well. I do not lead a very healthy life. I am lacking in self esteem. My confidence level is at its lowest. I don’t feel interested in anything. All I spend time in is cooking, cleaning and taking care of my family. I feel unfulfilled. I don’t feel happy. I need help!”

    If you also relate to the above, you are not alone! This is where many stay-at-home women in their forties are and feel trapped in their unhealthy state of living.  Their children aren’t quite as young that they are completely busy and yet are not grown enough to feel released from responsibilities of still running around.  More than anything, they do not know where to begin. They need expert but compassionate and caring guidance and support to extricate them out of their current chaos. We at Wellness Haven specialize in bringing back health and joy  into the lives of such women who themselves need nurturing, through tools like yogic stretching, strengthening, balancing, breathing and meditation as well as healthy eating habits.

    “I am a mother of 2 young children. I also work full time. I do not get time for myself at all. I want to exercise but I have not been able to. I want to eat right but do not know where to begin. I am tired all the time. I need help!”

    If you are someone like the above, you are also not alone. Young working mothers in their thirties, lead a very stressful life. They are unable to figure out how to get their lives back in such a way that they can also take care of themselves. At Wellness Haven we have a program to suit every person’s need for we run classes, group and private, 7 days a week at various times in a day. We guide you to maximize your time so that you are there at work, with your family and also spend some nurturing time for yourself.

    “I am retired. I did not take care of myself very well with my always busy schedule before retirement and now I have joint pain, my muscles are stiff and I am not flexible. I also am unable to balance without support. I need help!”

    These are women in their fifties, sixties and seventies who are very ready to bring health gently into their lives and we are here for them when they need us. No matter what your age, we have the help you need through expert guidance.

    “I should be happy but I am not! I have a good husband, beautiful children, a nice home, and we are financially secure. BUT I am not happy! Something is missing. I need help!”

    These are women who may or may not be working, but they have crossed the busy parts of their lives which involved getting married, having children, working at jobs, acquiring 1 or 2 homes. They are at a standstill and searching for the joy that seems to have left! We at Wellness Haven help you find your way back to yourself through support and guidance and getting you to come closer to who you are.

    “Now that I am in my forties, I feel I have become more sensitive in my friend circle. I get hurt even though I try to reason with myself. I do not enjoy the irrelevant conversations that go on at parties. There is too much conversation around, clothes and jewelry and things which do not please me any more. I want to be happy again! I need help!”

    These are women who have done with superficial conversation with friends and want to get their life back on track with healthy living through yoga, breathing, meditation and clean eating. We at Wellness Haven have been very successful with our 3 month guidance program, “Jump-Start Your Life“.

  • Eat Clean To Lose Excess Fat Weight

    Eat Clean To Lose Excess Fat Weight

    Losing excess body fat weight is quite an art and a skill that all those who carry extra weight, should learn to lead a healthier life. At Wellness Haven, our focus is on a healthy lifestyle that supports weight loss very effectively and in a wholesome manner, rather than quick and temporary weight loss gimmicks that seem to be so prevalent in the world today. We have very effectively taken care of hundreds of students on this weight loss journey whether they are local to San Ramon, like Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, Concord, Walnut Creek, Castro Valley, or any other farther location in the Bay Area like Hayward, San Jose, Cupertino, Pleasant Hill, Lafayette, Foster City, San Francisco or more remote as in outside of Bay Area or even outside US.

    What is Body Fat?

    Fat is one of the essential components of the body. Body is made up of muscle, bones, fat and organs like the brain, liver, kidneys, pancreas and intestines, all of which are necessary for healthy functioning of the body. In 1 pound of fat there is approximately 3,500 calories of stored energy.

    Fat is of 2 types:
    1. Essential Body Fat: It is necessary for body functions and is stored in small amounts in bone marrow, muscles, central nervous system and organs. Essential body fat in men is approximately 3% and in women it is approximately 12 % due to differences in body functions.
    2. Storage Body Fat: It is the fat that accumulates under the skin, around organs and in the muscles and this fat is necessary for the protection of the internal organs from injuries. This storage fat remains approximately the same in both men and women. But when this fat gets stored in excess, it becomes unhealthy and a person is considered overweight.

    What is Body Fat Range?

    Body fat can range from healthy to unhealthy on both sides of the spectrum. Too low or too high are equally unhealthy to maintain normal body functions.  Healthy fat range is depicted in the image on this page. Many women become overwhelmed with home and work responsibilities and let go of their body and become unhealthy. 

    How do we lose excess body fat to gain health? 

    Losing excess body fat weight is very simple. But patience is needed as is the case with anything worthy.

    • Cleanse your body regularly: Detoxing the body of the built up toxins is very much needed.
    • Eat clean: Keeping away from sugar, processed food, fatty food, and foods that create bloating or inflammation in the body.
    • Exercise: Staying flexible, strong, and balanced through yoga and supplementing it with other exercises is essential for a healthy body.
    • Remain hydrated: Keeping the body well hydrated keeps the body away from many physical ailments.
    • Sleep well: Good, quality sleep every night is essential for a healthy body.
    • Surround yourself with positive, productive, constructive, supportive and happy people: Having a positive outlook on life is very much needed to be mentally happy.
    • Breathing exercises and Meditation: Developing a daily habit of setting self time aside for breathing and meditation keeps the mind fit and healthy – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

    At Wellness Haven we guide you step by step in your journey to good health, whether it is yoga, breathing and meditation or cleansing and clean eating.

     

  • I Am Not Losing Weight!

    I Am Not Losing Weight!

    “I think I am eating healthy. I also walk 2 times a week. I go to the gym and use the treadmill. I attend one zumba class per week. Then why am I not losing weight?!”

    Are you someone who relates to the above? Then it is time to find out what may be going wrong with your lifestyle and re-invent the very way you think about food, exercise and stress management. The following mistakes are very costly:

    1. You are used to eating without attention to nutrition requirements and giving in to temptations when it comes to sweet and salty food, fatty food, and food that should not be consumed on a daily basis.
      – frequent eating out
      – unaware eating at work place
      – not packing food from home for lunch
      – not having enough time to cook wholesome meals
      – grocery shopping on an empty stomach
      – the fridge devoid of ready-to-eat-food when you need it the most; when you are HUNGRY!
      – not meeting protein requirements for the body
      – believing that “if I eat right, I do not need to exercise!”
    2. You are exercising sporadically, when you feel you have time!
      – exercising 1-2 days a week
      – simply working on the external big muscle groups and forgetting that the internal organs and glands that need nurturing with yoga
      – thinking that just treadmill, hiking, biking and jogging will do what is needed for the body
      – believing that “if I exercise I can eat whatever I want!”
    3. You are always stressed, overwhelmed, and impatient!
      – You are stressed with duties and responsibilities around home and work place.
      – You have succeeded in demoralizing yourself and quit on health even before taking any action about it.
      – You have forgotten how many years it took you to get to the state you are in currently and are impatient to lose all the extra weight immediately.

    It is time you started really taking care of yourself. It is time to understand that it will not happen overnight, but success is inevitable if you follow expert guidance from someone who believes in you and your success, someone who has done it herself, someone who has helped hundreds of others in a similar situation.

    All it takes is:

    • Desire to become healthy
    • A powerful intention of making it happen for yourself
    • Commitment and Discipline in yourself
    • Faith in the self
    • Trust in your Coach

    At Wellness Haven we are ready for you and to ensure that you learn and experience a healthy lifestyle. We help women who want to be helped.
