Health class goes with a bang!

Not literally.

Last night the first of our free Health Classes at Align was a great success. They're going to be a regular thing, to help people learn about how the body really works and simple perceptions that make it easy and exciting to enjoy being healthy.

If it's to work as a wellness tool it has to steer clear of the traditional "This is what you have to do" model, and reach people on an emotional level. It has to be empowering and positive, giving hope and changing outlooks.

Being well is about changing your paradigm of health.

We talked about the role of your nervous system and the body's self-healing abilities, how social interaction and purpose is crucial for a healthy body and mind, and scientific studies which show that even severe heart disease may be reversible just using diet & lifestyle changes.

It's about giving people the responsibility for their own health, in a way that excites them.

If you want to get an idea, have a look at the slideshow here. Obviously it's not the same without the narration (and the animation's missing) but it gives you an idea.

These free classes are available to anyone, just contact us to reserve your place. The next one is on Thursday 4th February 2010, at 7.30pm.

Look forward to seeing you there!
