  • What Keeps You Awake? Find Serenity with Yoga for Better Sleep

    What Keeps You Awake? Find Serenity with Yoga for Better Sleep

    Are you one of those who toss and turn at night, desperately seeking the elusive embrace of peaceful slumber? If you’re experiencing trouble sleeping, you’re not alone. The modern world’s relentless pace, constant connectivity, and the pressures of daily life can leave many of us staring at the ceiling when we should be dreaming. However, there’s a secret remedy to help you reclaim those restful nights: yoga. 

    The Modern Sleep Dilemma 

     – In today’s fast-paced world, achieving a good night’s sleep has become a luxury for some and a challenge for many. Stress, anxiety, work demands, and the ever-present glow of screens can conspire against our body’s natural sleep rhythms. When sleep eludes us, it affects not only our physical health but also our emotional well-being, cognitive function, and overall quality of life. 

    The Power of Yoga for Sleep 

    Enter yoga – a practice that extends far beyond the confines of a yoga mat. While yoga is renowned for its physical benefits, it also offers a sanctuary for the mind and soul. Through the practice of yoga, you can address the root causes of sleeplessness and find your way back to restful nights and refreshed mornings. 

    Relax Your Mind 

     – Yoga teaches us the art of mindfulness, the practice of being fully present in the moment. By focusing on your breath and the sensations in your body during yoga, you can train your mind to let go of racing thoughts and anxiety. This newfound mindfulness can help you quiet the mental chatter that keeps you awake at night. 

    Soothe Your Nervous System 

     – The gentle, deliberate movements of yoga postures, combined with controlled breathing, activate the parasympathetic nervous system – the body’s “rest and digest” mode. By shifting from the “fight or flight” response to a state of calm and relaxation, you can ease the physical tension that often accompanies sleeplessness. 

    Release Tension 

     – Many of us carry physical tension in our bodies, whether it’s in our shoulders, neck, or lower back. These areas of tension can contribute to discomfort and restlessness during the night. Yoga postures and stretches specifically target these areas, helping to release built-up tension and promote physical comfort. 

    Cultivate a Relaxation Routine

     – Establishing a bedtime yoga routine can signal to your body that it’s time to wind down. Consistent practice conditions your body and mind to recognize these calming signals, making it easier to transition into a peaceful sleep. 

    Yoga Practices for Better Sleep:

    Here are a few yoga practices that can help you find serenity and improve your sleep: 

    1. Deep Breathing Exercises: Simple breathing exercises like “Pranayama” can calm your mind and reduce anxiety. 
    2. Restorative Yoga: This style focuses on relaxation and rejuvenation. Poses are held for longer durations with the support of props. 
    3. Yoga Nidra: Also known as “yogic sleep,” this practice guides you into a deep state of relaxation and can be incredibly restorative. 
    4. Meditation: Mindfulness meditation can help you clear your mind and cultivate a sense of inner peace, making it easier to fall asleep. 
    5. Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose: This gentle inversion helps improve circulation, relieve stress, and promote relaxation.
    6. Child’s Pose: A resting posture that stretches the lower back and calms the mind.
    7. Corpse Pose (Shavasana): A closing pose in many yoga classes, Shavasana is a deep relaxation technique that can prepare you for a restful night’s sleep. 

    If sleep troubles are keeping you awake at night, consider integrating yoga into your daily routine. The practice of yoga offers a holistic approach to sleep improvement, addressing both the physical and mental aspects of sleeplessness. For veterans who may experience stress, anxiety, or PTSD, yoga can offer a soothing and therapeutic escape, helping them reclaim their sense of calm and well-being. Seniors, too, can greatly benefit from yoga. As age progresses, the challenges of insomnia, joint pain, and reduced mobility can become prevalent. Yoga not only helps in improving sleep quality but also aids in enhancing flexibility, balance, and strength.

    It’s a gentle way for seniors to stay active and centered in their golden years. With dedication and consistency, yoga can be your secret to a peaceful slumber. So, roll out your mat, embrace the serenity of yoga, and wake up refreshed to face each day with vitality and joy. Sweet dreams await.

  • Health: Your Ultimate Priority

    Health: Your Ultimate Priority

    Introduction

    In our fast-paced lives, health often takes a backseat. We become engrossed in our work, social lives, and personal commitments, rarely pausing to think about the most crucial aspect of our existence: our well-being. Health should not just be a checkbox; it should be our ultimate priority. This blog post will delve deep into the multifaceted concept of health and explain why and how to place it at the top of your life’s agenda.

    Defining Health

    The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. But what does this mean in practical terms? It means that health is an all-encompassing term that includes emotional stability, mental clarity, physical strength, and social harmony.

    Why Make Health a Priority?

    With the increased risk of lifestyle diseases, the benefits of making health your priority are innumerable:

    • Increased Longevity: Healthy living can add years to your life.
    • Improved Quality of Life: From physical abilities to mental peace, everything improves.
    • Economic Benefits: Lower healthcare costs and higher productivity.

    The Domino Effect of Health Neglect

    Ignoring health can have severe repercussions. Poor health is linked to:

    • Lower life expectancy
    • Reduced quality of life
    • Increased medical expenses
    • Emotional and psychological strain

    Physical Health: More Than Just Exercise

    Physical health encompasses various factors like exercise, diet, and regular medical check-ups. While exercise is crucial, it’s just one part of the puzzle. Regular health screenings and a balanced diet are equally important.

    Mental Health: The Forgotten Dimension

    Mental health plays a pivotal role in overall well-being. Chronic stress, anxiety, and depression can lead to a host of physical problems. Yet, mental health often goes unaddressed due to stigma or ignorance. Mindfulness, therapy, and stress management should be a part of your health strategy.

    Nutrition: The Fuel for Your Body

    Nutrition plays a significant role in health. Your body needs the right amount of nutrients to function correctly. A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, lean meat, and whole grains can make a massive difference in your health profile.

    Rest: The Underestimated Element

    In our quest for more, we often compromise on sleep and rest, not realizing that they are crucial for health. Adequate sleep not only rejuvenates your body but also prepares your mind for challenges ahead.

    Yoga: A Holistic Approach to Health

    Yoga offers a balanced approach to both physical and mental health. Through different postures, breathing techniques, and meditation, yoga provides a comprehensive workout for your body and mind.

    Taking the First Step

    Acknowledging the need for better health is the first step toward improvement. Start with simple changes like incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet or dedicating 20 minutes to exercise.

    Conclusion

    Health is an invaluable asset that we often take for granted. Making health your ultimate priority is not just an investment in your future, but also a commitment to improving your present. From diet and exercise to sleep and emotional well-being, each aspect contributes to your overall health profile. So let’s pledge to make health our ultimate priority, not just for us but for the people who depend on us.

  • 12 Weeks Jump Start Your Life Program

    12 Weeks Jump Start Your Life Program

    *** Always consult with your doctor before making any lifestyle changes.

    Wellness Haven 12 Weeks Jump Start Your Life Program

    This post has been created in response to all the questions we are asked by those who are interested in joining our 12 Weeks Unlimited Jump-Start Your Life Program. This is to jump-start your life weight management, for the purpose of dropping excess body fat weight and re-shaping your life.

    What exactly is this program about?

    This program was created by Wellness Haven years ago in response to the stressful lifestyle that most men, women and family members have, leading to overweight issues, painful joints and muscles, a life of overwhelm and feeling of ‘not in control’.

    Who is this program for?

    – This is for people from all ethnic backgrounds with varied eating style
    – Those who desire body fat loss to reach optimal body weight.
    – Those who want to reshape their body.
    – Those who want to acquire healthy eating habits
    – Those who want to be learn how to manage stress triggers most efficiently
    – Those who want to be pain free
    – Those who want to be overwhelm free
    – Those who want to improve the quality of their life
    – Those who want to be more productive in the same amount of time they have always had

    How does this program work? What is the goal of this program?

    This program takes into account each individual lifestyle – eating habits, exercise habits, working habits as well as the stress triggers of each individual and their family, no matter what ethnic background, or physical issues – and introduces the individual/family to a more relaxed, more productive, stress free, pain free, overwhelm free lifestyle with healthy eating habits that begin in their own kitchen in their own home leading to automatically optimizing the body’s potential  to optimal body weight and optimal lifestyle.The focus of this program is to make detox and clean eating a part of a healthy life style and combine it with yoga asanas, breathing and meditation in a 12 week program to build healthy habits in every aspect of life. The result is consistently lowered fat percentage towards a healthy range, lost inches and pounds to a trimmer body and to be free of many food related health issues.

    Common questions  asked by those seeking fat weight loss or just simply health:

    I am Indian. Will you work with Indian foods?

    Absolutely, for we believe one size does not fit all. We work with your own ethnic background and take into account the foods that you prefer and like. This program is straight out of your own kitchen. No matter what your ethnic background, we work with you.

    I am a vegetarian? Will this program work for me in losing body fat weight?

    Yes, we work with individual life-styles. No matter what your eating style, we work with you to reach optimal body weight.

    I have blood sugar issues. Will those program work for me?

    Yes this program takes into account individual physical needs and we work with you to suit your body needs.

    I will be leaving on vacation/trip/office work for 1 week or more. Should I join this program after my planned trip?

    Those who join right away irrespective of any vacation/trip coming up start reaping the benefits immediately irrespective of future planned trips, because we work on the mindset right away, by creating awareness of body, food and what comprises healthy living. And besides that you do not lose time! You actually gain time – because you got a prep time – mental and physical – before your trip so that when you get back from your planned trip, you still have the 12 weeks to get started ‘officially’!

    I am a Muslim and Ramadan is coming up during this time. How will it work?

    It is even better, for your mind is already in health mode. In this 12 week program, we will guide you into breaking fast on a daily basis as well as the other mental and physical aspects of the program. It is a wonderful opportunity to commit to holistic living during this holistic period.

    Can I start the nutrition, breathing and meditation part of the program now and do the yoga later as I want to heal my body before I start the physical part of the program?

    Yes! It is very important that we heal the body inside out first if you are facing physical issues. Yoga can be added on later even though the program is purchased together to take advantage of the heavily discounted fee. All 3 parts of the program can be done separately if so desired.

    For all those who are physically fit or those who do not have the time constraints, we recommend that they do all 3 aspects of the program together to maximize their benefits.

    Will I starve during this program?

    We guide each individual to suit the way they want to do this program. No starvation is required. We start our program with relaxing of your internal system through all natural means and holistic methods, keeping your own food choices, but healthier.

    Can I go aggressively in this program, still maintaining it in a wholesome manner?

    Absolutely, for we work according to your needs making sure that the approach is healthy and wholesome.

    Can I take it easy in this program, for I want to take it slow as my goal is not weight loss but to become a healthy eater?

    We have helped many get rid of toxins by taking it slow and easy. We are always working with you to suit your needs.

    Will you give us a diet chart?

    We tell you exactly what you should eat and drink during the entire course of the program through guidance not only individually but also in a motivated and educated group format. We answer all your questions as and when they come up, individually as well as in group. There will be no confusion or doubts about what to eat, no matter who you are and from what ethnic background.

    Can you give us some details around the kind of diet you suggest?

    We work with you to suit your life-style, your likes and dislikes and build you up for better habits eliminating what your body does not need. We encourage you to build a healthier lifestyle.

    Will you sell food products to us?

    No! We do not sell you any food. We do not provide any smoothies or shakes or pre-packaged meals! This program is to build healthy eating habits right out of your own home kitchen as well as healthy food choices when you are dining out. We believe in educating you so that you never have to rely on others providing you smoothies and shakes or pre-packaged food.

    Will I be able to complete this program successfully?

    As we work with each individual, based on their own individual needs, we continue inspiring, motivating and educating you until you reach your goals, whether it is within 12 weeks or even after.

    I live out of state/out of country. How will this program work for me?

    This program is tailored to suit individual needs whether local, out of state or out of country.

    Our methods of communication are Whatsapp, Skype, phone calls, with complete Nutrition
    guidance throughout the 12 weeks through calls and Whatsapp; and once a week guidance on exercise, breathing and meditation through Skype or video calls.

    How does the weight loss/food/nutrition part of the program work?

    Format of the 12 week course:

    Week 1: Recording Initial Data and Detox Week, Weighing for Detox Results
    Week 2 – Week 5: Introduction of a new eating lifestyle and forming healthy habits through the process of elimination and changes
    Week 6 – Week 11: Living with the new lifestyle
    Week 12: Transition into a wholesome life of self accountability. Graduation!

    as you continue to make better choices!

    a hospital and wonder why you never corrected your nutrition habits!

    life!! Yes even when you “cheat” you will cheat wisely and still lose pounds

  • Schedule Your Exercise

    Schedule Your Exercise

    Focused determination, scheduling and consistent action are the key factors in seeing results no matter what your goal is. Too many people think but never start, some start but do not show consistent behavior, and some start and quit because they are a part of what is called ‘instant gratification society”.

    How about you?

    A glaring example in the health world is obesity resulting due to lack of proper work out and eating habits. Too many people start gathering fat in their bodies and their excuses are:
    “I had children”
    “I don’t have time”
    “I am devoted to my work”..

    Let’s focus on inconsistent exercise patterns.
    We all understand that staying consistent with your exercise is a challenge to most; you are not able to find a balance between your family, work, friends, hobbies and travelling. and yet in order to continue doing all that you love to do in your fifties, sixties and beyond, you have to keep yourself healthy and fit.

    So how do you make it happen?

    By simply creating a momentum!
    Know that it takes time to gather momentum around an exercise routine or any good habit. All progress made stops when you stop and you have to re-gather your energies to start again!

    When your personal or professional life becomes more stressful, it is even more necessary that you stay put with your exercise routine because this will be what will sustain you through mentally taxing periods of time by keeping your mind focused instead of foggy... If you stop now, it will be weeks or months before you start exercising again.

    So start off right and stop your procrastinating and yo-yo patterns!

    1. Create a sustainable health GOAL: losing weight, becoming stronger and more flexible.
    2. WRITE down why it is your goal: If you do not really know the exact reasons you have this goal, it will not create the right mindset.
    3. PLAN and SCHEDULE it carefully – Schedule your exercise at the start of each week keeping your goal in mind at all times and the reasons you set this goal: what gets scheduled gets done else it is just a thought and nothing else! Carefully think about the days of the week when you have a little more flexibility in your daily routine without distractions. Maybe it is a couple of weekdays, maybe the weekend. Maybe it is morning, maybe evening…no matter what it is SCHEDULE IT into your routine.
    4. COMMIT: Unless you commit, you will skip! No matter what the temptation, unless it is an emergency, do not skip!
    Keep yourself motivated every day so that your commitment stays rock solid.
    5. EVALUATE and RE-COMMIT: At the start of each week evaluate your progress and recommit. Let this exercise and healthy cycle continue until it becomes your life style.

    You can let go of time wasting habits and create efficient time management for yourself:
    – chatting constantlyon phone or social media
    – watching TV every time you have that you could spend on your healthy life habits
    – partying every weekend; dressing up, cooking food mass scale, cleaning up…yes these all take time that could have been spent where it really matters.

    Instead:
    – Relax and do absolutely nothing a little more (self time without external distractions)

    This will create the time you need for a healthy exercise habit.

  • Conscious Living

    Conscious Living

    From where you are to where you want to be is a journey of conscious steps that anyone can accomplish provided there is clarity about what one wants and clarity about the action steps. As you consciously take these action steps to improve the quality of your life, you also come closer to achieving what you desire. This is conscious living.

    A. Acknowledge where you are.

    This is the first step in your journey towards where you want to be. If there is no acknowledgement of where you are, how can you possibly know which action steps you need to start with? Write down everything that you know about you that keep you unsatisfied and wanting and everything about you that prevents you from achieving your desires and goals.

    B. Boldly state where you want to be, your desires and goals.

    The second step is to know your destination, the point you want to be at, for unless there is clarity about where you want to be how will you plan the action steps that need to be taken to get you there?

    C. Start making small consistent changes in your lifestyle.

    It is very important to know that if you do not ‘clean’ your life first, the ability to achieve your dreams will remain hidden to you! See below a list of actions that help you ‘clean’ your life.

    1. Nourish yourself with ‘me’ time everyday.
      Wake up early, before the rest of the family members wake up, giving you the much needed extra hour without any distraction and to put energy and excitement in you for the day ahead. This is when you might go through some simple stretching, breathing and meditation exercises. You would have sufficient time to go through your list of things needed for the day, that you created the evening before, so that it goes smoothly. This will help you plan head and prepare before the rest of the house awakes.
    1. Plan and pack your meals for the day.
      Packing healthy, wholesome and nutritious meals, that you planned the evening before, for the day ahead will keep you energized as you stay away from fatty, sugary, starchy foods that are depleted of nutritional value and packed with toxins.
    1. Exercise to keep your body and mind limber.
      Yogic stretching, strengthening and balancing exercises, or whichever kind your body likes are very much needed to keep you limber and strong in both the mind and the body so that you can make clear decisions and physical aches and pains do not distract you from achieving what you have set out for.
    1. De-clutter your space for a clutter free mind.
      Make it a habit to throw away the not-needed papers that come into your mailbox as soon as you go through them. Pen the mail and go through them right away throwing what is not of any use and filing what is needed in the right space. Give away clothes and books and anything that you do not need keeping your space congestion free. Make your space free of dust and grime. Keeping your space free of everything that you do not need and clean will enable you to think with clarity.
    1. Clean out your To Do List Daily.
      Make sure that your To Do list is kept updated with all that you need and want to do. Whether it is paying bills, or going to the grocery store, the bank, the dentist, or the dry cleaners or a visit to your friend, take action daily and cross off your list. Keep yourself free of disappointments, frustrations, guilt and regrets by being disciplined about your daily tasks.
    1. Eradicate negativity and negative people from your life.
      Some people never want to upgrade their life and stay deep into negative behavior and actions. Clean your life of such people if you do not want to drown yourself into it as well.  Your life will not change if you do not change the circumstances and events around your life that are in your control.

    D. Formulate the action steps towards your dreams/desires and goals.
    Once your life is de-cluttered in every possible way, ideas start taking shape and life starts coming on the right track. Your path to your dreams becomes clear and you now start your steps towards achieving your dream.

    1. Plan your life keeping yourself flexible about impending changes.
      Create a master plan/action steps for your life goals, knowing that there will be changes and detours due to unknown factors.  Have all those things in the master plan that you dream of no matter how impossible they seem.
      Then each evening, sit down to plan your next day. Keeping in mind your master plan, and with the intention of checking off list items in the upcoming day ahead. This will keep you creative and productive and energetic and help you steer consistently in the right direction.
    1. Plan your free time, fun time, goofy time, getting out of your comfort time.
      It is imperative to have fun as you continue living with discipline and consistency.
      Plan to get out of your comfort zone by doing something that does not come to you easily or seems impossible.  If something does not work, change the direction of your thinking and do it in a different way.
    1. Plan a no-action, silent time.
      Never forget to take time out to do nothing, to simply be in silence for these are the times when new ideas come to fruition taking you closer to your dreams and goals.
    1. Re-look and re-plan your master plan.
      Your life master plan is but a plan. It can change. Keep an eye on it and steer it in the right direction for you are the captain of your own ship. Take your ship where your planned destination is.

    Just following the above clear and conscious action steps will take you closer towards tour dreams. If you don’t do it who will?

  • 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.

    “Happy Sunday Umang, Just wanted to keep you posted. After being stuck for a week I lost 2 lb. The week I didn’t loose any weight is the week I couldn’t come for my visit. I seriously think it’s your kind aura genuinely coming from the bottom of your heart was what’s needed for me to be motivate.
