Body Zen Practical Workshop

1pm – 5pm, Saturday, 26 August – Highbury
Tim van der Vliet

Body Zen is a holistic detox method that uses very simple tools and exercises to increase your energy and your release of happy hormones in just a few minutes a day. Side effects are better health and dropping excess weight. It is possible to change your metabolism and even become physically younger in time.

“I noticed the following changes… 7 hours sleep instead of 8 are suddenly sufficient. I get easily out of bed in the morning, while before I hardly woke up. I feel more energized during the day, physically and mentally. Lower backpain is almost gone. Looking forward to more changes 👍🏻😊”
– Claire Horlent

What can Body Zen do for you?

• Body Zen is about optimising your metabolism giveing you more physical and emotional resilience plus a healthier weight and better looking body.
• Body Zen takes between 2 minutes (at the start) to 10 minutes a day (after 3 months).
• Body Zen focuses not only on your nutrition pattern (from the outside to the inside) but also on other methods like a the Wim Hof Method breathing exercise to alkalize your body (from the inside out).
• Tools that you can use through the day, wherever you are.
• Simple yoga style exercise suitable for everybody.
• Ways to find silence even without calling it a meditation.
• The right mindset to not feel guilty anymore whenever you put bad things in your body.
• You will detox naturally and you don’t have to worry about the “retox”. In other words you live healthy and there is space for some naughtiness in your life.
• Through Body Zen you may not become sick anymore.
• Body Zen is a way of releasing more happiness hormones in your body, making you a happier person.
• Body Zen makes you more energetic and may give you childish energy. Don’t worry be happy!
• A way to influence your immune system and your hormonal system.
• Scientific proof where available and clearly stated where not yet scientifically proven.

“I love Tim and his teachings. His energy is infectious and beautiful! ❤️”
– Myra Forrester

Body Zen focuses on three pillars for more energy, happiness, and better health:

The Energy Exercises pillar consists of simple yoga, Qigong, and Tim’s own exercises learned during his last 10 years of lifestyle changes. Breathing methods are added to clean up blockages, increase oxygen uptake, and alkalise your body. With just simple breathing methods and light exercise your life can change completely!

The Nutrition pillar is based on the Blue Zones, those areas of the world where people live longest, as well as Tim’s own experience including traveling to Japan 20 times. The Blue Zones are five areas in the world where people become of off the record old. Longevity is within everybody’s reach. Add to this Tim’s ‘holy trinity’ of superfoods that don’t cost a lot of money.

The Mindset pillar is based on what Tim calls the ‘Power of Paradox’, which is about accepting life for what it is, being humble, and thinking big at the same time. Tim’s detox-retox principle will probably make you smile and happy at the same time. You may give up your feeling of guilt forever.

“The Body Zen workshop with Tim was great, interesting and informative. After only one day of starting the Body Zen training, by incorporating only the standing posture, arm twist and Wim Hof breathing, I already feel more energised and focused.  I already eat fairly cleanly! But my body has started ‘clearing’ out, what an amazingly easy way to get back in flow with the Universe! Am really looking forward to building up to incorporate all parts of the Body Zen practice into my life.  Thank you Tim 😊”
– Tracey Harley

Agenda

13.00 – 13.30 Welcome and intro

13.30 – 14.00 3 pillars and 3 benefits

If you learn to use your body properly you will become more energetic, happier and healthier. Body Zen is a simple and effective way to change your metabolism and to physically even become younger in time. Dropping (or gaining) weight is just a positive side effect of Body Zen.

Superfoods Supper Club

6:30pm onwards, Saturday, 26 August – Highbury
Speaker: Kate Strong. Catering: Corina Boho

We’ll hear from Kate Strong, vegan, World Champion triathlete, World Record holder in cycling, TEDx speaker, award-winning entrepreneur, author, engineer and linguist. Kate graduated with a Double Masters in Mechanical Engineering in French and English then chose to step away from ‘society’s tick-list lifestyle’ and create a life that would keep her thriving, not just existing.

Join Kate as she shares what caused a Welsh girl from a farming background to switch to a whole-food and plant-based diet. Learn how by applying her engineering background, this switch is based on science: forming the right choice for her own health, the planet, and all that reside within. Following science and also her heart, she puts her becoming age-group World Champion in triathlon down to her nutrition. Today, she still follows a vegan lifestyle and is a Business Coach empowering entrepreneurs to create profitable and ethical businesses.

We’ll share an amazing superfoods meal catered by the talented Corina Boho, certified nutritionist and educator, yoga teacher, lifestyle & holistic health coach, vegan & raw vegan chef, founder of Vida Boho. Corina’s main focus is on the importance of consuming food that releases energy for us to use, making us feel energetic and vibrant, instead of food that takes energy from us, resulting in us feeling tired and sluggish.  (bio here)

Tim van der Vliet

Tim is a Hay House author, speaker, and spiritual teacher, as well as being a certified Wim Hof Method instructor, who joins us from The Netherlands for the weekend to lead Body Zen programme and the Wim Hof Method day.

Tim’s mission is to help you become more free.  Freedom comes in four stages. Mental, physical, financial and spiritual freedom. He calls it Zen from Amsterdam. Zen is a word used in Amsterdam when everything is just right, even if it is just for a moment. What is Zen from Amsterdam and what can you get out of it? Simply put, Zen from Amsterdam is your way to freedom, a healthy body, abundance and becoming happier.

How do you get more freedom? How do you get a healthy body? How do you become happy? It all starts with creating and following your own rule-book. If you want to follow your intuition there are no other rules to live by but your own. Tim will teach you how to get to know your own rules.

Formerly Tim was trader in the financial world and learnt many lessons about himself during that time. It may sound like a paradox but a good trader is free in their head. He learnt how to incorporate following his heart into daily life and having more than enough to raise four children and have time to help them with their homework (and do fun stuff for himself!).

Tim makes philosophy easier to understand and use in everyday life, coming across life lessons in seemingly very normal things like table tennis, football, the financial world, mathematics and of course the neighbour’s dog.

Corina Boho

Certified nutritionist and educator, yoga teacher, lifestyle & holistic health coach, vegan & raw vegan chef, founder of Vida Boho.

Corina’s main focus is on the importance of consuming food that releases energy for us to use, making us feel energetic and vibrant, instead of food that takes energy from us, resulting in us feeling tired and sluggish. Following this same principle, she has created four delightful raw vegan menus to choose from that will awaken our tastebuds and leave us feeling nurtured and full of life.

Eating to thrive is surprisingly easy and delicious when we delete our conditioned beliefs about food and learn how to combine ingredients that go from the earth straight to our plate. Corina calls this “re-discovering our modern nature” and is passionate about educating others to see, feel, taste and understand this beauty and to allow our blindfold to drop, discovering and unlocking all those little pleasures of life that bring us closer to who nature intends us to be.

The food we choose to eat can determine how we feel, how we react, how much we get done in a day and can also influence our mood. This is where the power of micronutrients play an important role in our daily life. Combining these commonly overlooked elements with the right lifestyle for our body and mind can make the difference between thriving and surviving.
