Body & Soul, Manchester (Jan 04)
The book will help you re-evaluate your attitudes to food, weight and health, with lasting results.

From the Author
I have suffered the misery of being overweight for most of my life. I have followed most diet systems, some successful for a while, and whilst I did them I was miserable (and so was everyone around me!). Of course, like to many others, I put the weight back on when the diet finished. (Which made me even more miserable!)

Last year, I decided I had had enough of misery and felt that it was time that I honestly accepted that I had weight challenges and try make the whole slimming process – ENJOYABLE AND SUSTAINABLE. I scoured the bookstores and inter-net for the right book – nothing at all! I had it all so clearly in my mind, what I wanted was a book that combined a healthy eating programme, exercises for body AND mind, something that would give me a complete life makeover as well as slimming me down. It had to include how to address life’s issues and not be just another diet book. I knew the author I wanted, someone who knew just how I felt, who had been through the misery of yo-yo dieting; someone who knew how to Coach people, who was an expert in exercise, experienced in Personal Development and a Healer – after all I needed healing from this dis-ease of being overweight. Alas, no book fitted these criteria.

Then it hit me - it took a while for the penny to drop! Me! I was destined to write this book. I was a professional Life Coach, a qualified Yoga Instructor of 20 years, held many qualifications on various forms of exercise – had owned a Health and Fitness Club for 15 years; been a whole food cookery teacher, AND I sure knew the misery of being overweight. I knew this was the right thing to do; it was calling out for this book to be written. The book was so successful it sold out prior to printing! Wow. The book I so desperately wanted – and others wanted - was in me all the time. The great thing is that by writing the book, putting all my knowledge together, I have really found a way that works so well for me and I know it will for you too.

The Benefits include:-

1. You will understand and be able to power talk – how to use language to speak to your sub-conscious to support you, not work against you.

2. You will learn a simple exercise routine (that anyone can do) based on easy Yoga Postures, which will optimise your metabolism and inspire you to make right choices.

3. You will learn to accept yourself as you are and have the strength to change to who you want to be.

4. You will learn how to set goals from your core values - goals that will work and set you up for success.

5. You will learn how to relax and be able to recognise unnecessary "stress eating".

6. You will learn how to FEEL SLIM as well as to be slim.

7. You will learn simple methods of Self Inquiry, which will enable you to remove blocks that keep you from slimming success.

8. You will learn that eating can be fun and healthy for yourself and the family and learn recipes that will energise, rather than tranquilise.

9. You will learn techniques how to simplify your life and identify "Energy Bandits" and then eliminate them, so that you have the energy to support your goals.

10. You will learn self Life Coaching techniques that help you work from your strengths. Focus on the solution rather than the problem.

11. You will experience meditations/visualisations that will help you lose weight.

12. You will practise awareness, which will give you the ability to make choices that will work for you.

And much more.

So that’s my winning formula, the book addresses issues of Body, Mind and Spirit (how funny that for so many years I knew and practised all three separately, but when I integrated them - combining the best of the East with the best of the West – hey presto – the winning formula was revealed). That proved to me that permanent slimming success required a total approach.

I see a world that is relieved from the misery of being overweight, and of course, the detrimental health challenges that this brings, plus being overweight threatens living your life fully. My goal is to inspire people to want to live life to their full potential, a life where they are happy and come from a place of love, not fear. Being overweight for me, in retrospect, was a blessing in disguise. My weight problem helped me reveal parts of my life that needed attention. I offer you my experience to inspire you to follow the plan and become the person you were truly destined to be. Try it yourself, just one month, not only to lose weight, but also to turn your life around – Yoga for Slimmers® is an ultimate tool for wellbeing.

Customer Reviews

Inspiring
This is is such a great book. I have wanted to find yoga routines that were specifically designed for getting thinner, and couldn't find another book this good.
The poses are explained clearly with step by step instructions and there is a healthy eating programme that accompanies them.
Above all I found the author's words of encouragement and motivation the best thing about this book, you can tell she knows exactly what it's like to struggle losing weight and she has come up with the best way of doing it.

The best by far
It is the best total slimming method that I have tried. It has given me a 5 kg loss on just 2 weeks and I am now at my target weight. The book is so easy to use, all colour coded. By using yoga (i have never done it before) in conjunction with the diet programme in the book I felt brilliant whilst loosing weight. A first for everything. Well done Celia and thanks.

The bigger picture!
Well, I don't know where to start. I've just finished my 4 weeks 'with Celia'. Not that I will stop here! It all seems so simple in the book, which is so easy to read and it feels like I've got her right there, in my kitchen, living room, wherever I am when I read it.
Finally I've found something that works for me. For so long the 'diet-only' approach just didn't press the right buttons (or achieve the weight-loss). With Yoga For Slimmers, you look at ALL areas of your life.
It has helped me with much more than just weight-loss. Everyone is commenting on the 'new me' . OK, so my shape has changed, but that's not what has put the spark back into my life; I am more relaxed and easy going, more focused about my life and what I want/need to keep me happy.
The eating plans are really comprehensive, with CHOICES too. I made loads of the recipes, the food was delicious and easily made too. Every question I had about anything was answered in the FAQ's.
The biggest benefit, mmmm, let me see, well it must be the amazing side effects on your sex life.......try it and see!!!!
