Credentials
My principles for a healthy and happy life.
Yoga
For Mariandy, yoga is more than just physical postures; it's a holistic practice that unites mind, body, and spirit. Through intentional movement and breath, yoga becomes a pathway to flexibility, strength, and inner peace. It's a daily ritual that nurtures the body and calms the mind, promoting overall well-being.
Meditation
Meditation is Mariandy's key to mental clarity and emotional balance. In the midst of life's demands, she retreats to a quiet space, practicing mindfulness and cultivating a deep connection with the present moment. This daily ritual allows her to navigate challenges with a calm mind, fostering resilience and a profound sense of inner peace.
Qigong
Qigong is Mariandy's bridge to the ancient wisdom of Chinese energy cultivation. Through gentle movements, breath control, and focused intention, Qigong enhances the flow of life force energy (chi). It's a practice deeply rooted in promoting vitality, reducing stress, and harmonizing the body's energy system—an essential component of Mariandy's daily routine.
Nutrition
Mariandy views nutrition as the cornerstone of a healthy life. Her approach goes beyond diets; it's a commitment to nourishing the body with wholesome, natural foods. Embracing a plant-based diet inspired by her early days as a vegetarian, she understands the profound impact of nutrition on overall well-being. It's a mindful, balanced approach that fuels her energy and supports her vibrant lifestyle.
