Webinar: 4 Pillars of Sustainable Weightloss
2021-07-23 19:00 - 20:30 (Asia/Kolkata)
How can you eat like a healthy normal person and still lose weight? Sustainably?

There are 2 types of food:

One titillates the taste buds but is essentially junk food.
The other is delicious yet nutritious and life-giving food. We call this clean food.

Did you know, yummy desserts and delicacies, heavenly soups & curries, and other mouth-watering spicy cooked food, even crispy khakras and chips for that matter can come under clean food? (Check out the Recipes under the Resources menu if you don’t believe it!)
The bonus is that the nutrition in clean food is intact. Therefore, you actually benefit from the food you’re consuming.
You don’t have to worry about the portion size and the number of times you eat in a day, because it’s impossible to overeat nutritionally balanced food.
Eating clean food is the smartest way to lose weight without any restrictions on quantity, time of consumption, and taste of food.
You can be as lazy as you want when it comes to gym workouts and yet start looking attractive just by eating clean daily.
Does this sound too good to be true?
Let me clear your doubts.
Join this free webinar to learn:

Why fad diets fail
What are the 4 pillars of sustainable weight loss?
How patterns and choices affect the body
How small changes can lead to a big impact
Answers in a 10-minute Q&A

Weight loss is in fact, a side effect of clean eating.
A holistic approach ensures sustainable weight loss and a happier you with zero portion control or starvation.

From Judgement to Responsibility
2025-07-30 19:00 - 20:30 | ZOOM
People are disturbed not by things, but by the view they take of them.
– Epictetus

Judgement is not bad in itself. Our judgement is the reason we survive this world, it keeps us safe.
However, judgement can also rise from our inability or unwillingness to examine a situation objectively. Then, judgement becomes a compassion blocker or defence mechanism that harms our relationships and emotional growth.
In the 90 minutes of this workshop, we will use action-based methods to explore:

the roots of judgement
behavioral patterns that hurt relationships
the role of Observer for emotional maturity
self-reflection and sharing

In this program, we will go beyond the basics and immerse ourselves in the deeper wisdom of Āhāra:

Highlights of NOURISH++

Revisiting the fundamentals of NOURISH (Maximize nutrients on your plate)
Understanding the difference between nourishing foods and healing foods
Learning how to improve absorption—not just focus on consumption
Experiencing subtler foods from the five elements and their profound healing power
Group Activities you’ll experience together:

Planning & preparing two wholesome, whole plant-based meal plates,
Planning & preparing two vibrant, nutritionally balanced fruit and veggie meals
Relishing a fruit meal and a veggie meal
Nature walks amidst the Sahyadris
Sun gazing, basking & bathing
Mindful eating practices
Gentle pranayama for balance and vitality

All of this will unfold in the lap of nature, amidst the scenic rolling hills of the Sahyadris at Serene Eco Village, Dhanep, Velhe. Surrounded by abundance and grounded in simplicity, we will not just learn, but also live the essence of Āhāra/ nourishment.

Nourish: Maximize Nutrition on Your Plate, Bangalore
2025-12-21 10:30 - 14:00 | Bangalore,India, Bangalore, Bangalore, Karnataka, 560068, India
🍃 Nourish (Maximize nutrition on your plate) 🍃
As a nutritionist, if you ask me what’s the one thing you can do to take control of your health? — My answer would be: spend some time in your kitchen!
And that’s why we have curated NOURISH — the workshop where we come together to explore how to maximize nutrition on our plates.
During this 1-day workshop,
🌱We learn the basics of whole plant based nutrition – What are the nutrients our body needs to sustain and thrive? In what quantity?
🌱We learn the art of creating a well-balanced, power-packed plate with all the necessary nutrients
🌱We learn to choose safer ingredients
🌱We learn how to cook them side by side using safe and conservative cooking methods
🌱We relish the food that we cook together
What fills me with even more joy is seeing how this experience has inspired many participants to return to their kitchens with fresh eyes — mindfully procuring ingredients, planning nourishing meals, and cooking with awareness and love.
Past participants Share:
“Thank you, Saee and Poshak Life, it was a wonderful experience, lotsa learnings and aha moments during the Nourish Workshop.
I just did not want it to end, to be honest” – Rashmi Deshpande, Pune
“It was eye-opening to realize how small, consistent dietary changes can lead to big health improvements. It even made me rethink my supplement routine—I’ve packed away my multivitamins for now!” – Shilpa Kale, Mumbai
“The content was science-backed, clearly explained, and supported by relatable, real-life examples. The generous time spent on Q&A was especially valuable and made the session feel personal and interactive.” – Prakalpa Bastinapillai, Pune

I can’t wait to share this experience with more people who are ready to take charge of what they eat — ensuring their food is not only delicious, but also nutrient-rich, without compromise!

Why is everyone suddenly focused on protein?
How much protein do you really need daily?
Is it possible to overconsume protein? What are the risks?
What’s the best way to choose the right protein source for your body?
Do vegetarians or Indians really need supplements to meet their protein goals?
