This 21-day guided program will help you: 1) eat right, 2) move right, 3) think right and 4) rest right in order to improve your health and achieve your optimal weight.
“Don’t check your body, check your habits!” – Dr. Arun Sharma, Founder, Director of the International Institute of Mahayoga & Natural Hygiene (IMANAH), USA
Instead of focusing on a particular disease or organ, consider your body as a whole. The body is intelligent enough to know what need is more critical and which aspect needs healing on priority. All we need to do is provide the body the right materials, opportunity, and time to self-repair, rejuvenate and heal.
In the program you will develop holistic lifestyle habits that will help you experience the oneness of the body, mind and spirit.
The focus is not on curing any disease or imbalance but improving health.
How does the 21-day Challenge improve your health?
Eat Right
We work on consuming food through all the 5 elements:
The order of creation (Space – Air – Fire – Water – Earth) falls in the same order of priority for maintaining our health.
- Space – Creating space in our bodies with practices such as fasting.
- Air – Breathing in pure air not only through the nose but also through the skin.
- Fire – Absorbing the radiations of sunlight using various techniques.
- Water – Maintaining and using the water element, consuming osmotic water through fruits and vegetables.
- Earth – Choosing positive solid food, less dense the better.
Move Right
Choosing mindful movement is equally important.
In this 21-day Challenge, you will also get to practice mindful movements through daily 60 minutes of yoga sessions with my guidance. The yoga modules are designed to engage all the body movements including forward bends, backbends, inversions, and spinal twists.
Do you know that we create a pattern of movement according to the life situations we face? These patterns can restrict the enjoyment of life to the fullest.
Yoga opens many doors for mindful movement.
In the current era, there is an imbalance with respect to physical body movements. Few generations back, when the economy was mainly agriculturally based, being physically active was rewarded. Mentally we were more relaxed. Modern professions in cities have slowed our bodies and sped up our minds.
So, movement is a must!
But which type of movement will help you create that necessary balance? This requires a deeper understanding of specific behavioral patterns to address.
In Yoga, the balanced state of physical health is expressed as the ability to make our body as hard as a diamond and as soft as a petal based on need.
We can enjoy this power when we systematically train our bodies for different speeds and intensities of stretching.
Think Right
The mind can be a friend or an enemy. “We are what we think about,” said Ralph Waldo Emerson.
To build a habit and discipline, efforts are needed. Mind control is especially important in building discipline. Many times we know all the good practices but are unable to convert them to habits.
How to stay away from cravings? How to wake up early? How to consistently choose clean foods?
All these challenges are resolved when we get clarity in thoughts and control over the wandering mind. We learn simple techniques to stick to the routine for 21 days under “Think Right.”
Rest Right
Learn scientific ways of calming down your mind through digital detox and pranayama practices for good sleep and high quality of rest time.
We will work on calming down the nervous system to get deeper relaxation through practices like Yoga Nidra.
We’ll also work on improving the quality of sleep. Getting enough sleep is essential for optimal health and well-being. Good sleep is as vital as regular exercise and eating a balanced diet.
Sleep helps the body repair, regenerate, and recover. The immune system is no exception to this relationship. Research shows how better sleep quality can help the body fight off infection. There is a strong link between obesity and poor sleep patterns. Sleep also has links to several brain functions, including concentration, productivity, and cognition.
What participants across batches say
What will make the program work for you?
Many of my students see significant improvements in their posture, attitude, mental and physical state in 28 days. People have lost 1-4 kgs in 4 weeks, without starving or controlling food portions.
There are a few things they all had in common:
The willingness to try new foods and cooking methods, open-mindedness to question traditional wisdom and customs, a spirit of enquiry, determination to improve your health and well-being, and curiosity to understand the Why behind the What and How – these attributes will support your success.
Who should not take this challenge?
The program will not work for you if you:
I enjoyed the 21 days of clean eating. For me, this is a journey about taking care of my health. Saee’s clear guidance with reasoning helped me understand the benefits. The course progressed slowly and steadily so it was not a big jump from what I was normally doing. This helped me stay committed. Thank you Saee and Deepali for the simple doable recipes.

I am glad I accidentally stumbled upon this course and decided on the spot to go for it. I have been trying to eat healthy but had no idea how to go about it. This course has given me an idea. It has definitely given me a positive result. I feel less tired. Didn't know that I can happily survive on fruits. Didnt know that I can water fast and not feel weak. Thanks a lot for including me in this life changing experience.
Preetha
Clean eating has been a wonderful experience. As a hardcore meat eater and coffee drinker I initially didn’t believe giving up two things I loved would be possible or even tasty! But the clean eating program not only challenged me in the best way but also brought out the benefits of including fruits and veggies in my diet. As a foodie, I like to enjoy my food! I am a visual person and eat with my eyes first. Looking at my plate, which was balanced and appealing to my eyes I was surprised to see that I enjoyed a meal that did not have any meat on it. I would say, even if you are apprehensive, give clean eating with Saee a shot! You will not be disappointed!
Neha Pant
It was a wonderful program, lots of learning about the food in detail and I never thought that having fruits in breakfast and switching to some healthy diet can make so much difference in our body system. Within a week I could feel very energetic, light, and active in my body. And the best part is that happy feeling which gives a lot of positive vibes in ourselves towards achieving our health goals.
Sakshi
The best decision of mine was to start a healthy eating journey with Saee's support. I completely felt the change over days, weeks, and months. I not only reduced weight but my skin glowed a lot too. Especially in this hard time where our immunity needs to be good, this is the only possible way. No words are enough for her contribution to changing my relationship with food.
Neha
I had joined the programme with a positive mind. I was aware of clean eating concepts, so it was never overwhelming. I enjoyed the oil-free cooking classes but what motivated me most was the oil-free chaat workshop that you had. That gave me the confidence that going oil-free doesn’t mean sacrificing our favourite foods. I really enjoyed the fruit diet and the lighter feeling that came with it. It was like starting on a clean slate. Both Saee and Deepali are extremely helpful and accessible. I learnt a lot from both. Their patience to answer each question is praiseworthy. I would suggest everyone should try this journey once to gain a lighter body and a clutter-free mind.

It can take anywhere around 1 hr to 1.5 hrs to work on the holistic lifestyle changes that we are planning to inculcate at the end of this program. This includes the time to exercise, meditate, prepare food, etc.
Yes, you can. Nowadays travel is a part of our life. We learn ways to choose safe and clean food to consume while on travel and techniques to exercise and meditate on the go. So, travel plans should not stop you from joining this program if you have the determination and will to complete.
It won’t be effective if you take a break in between. It’s advisable to complete the whole program as any new habit gets formed only when we continuously practice it for more than 21 days.
I have a WhatsApp group where I add all the holistic clean eating program participants once the program is over. There, you get a chance to interact with likeminded people and learn from each other. I keep on sharing informative articles, news, recipes on that group. This is the best way for you to remain motivated and continue following clean eating practices once the program is over.
Weight loss is an initial and inevitable outcome of changing dietary habits. As the body cleanses and then replenishes, you will achieve your optimal weight.
