Transform your life
On March 3rd and 4th, we invite you to share an intimate weekend of self-growth, pilates, yoga, nutrition, sleep hygiene and the exploration & transformation of your life.
The Zesty Weekend will be held at Core Intentions Pilates Studio in Squamish, BC. At the studio you’ll experience a uniquely warm and intimate atmosphere where we’ll immerse ourselves in wellness. There will be fresh healthy snacks and meals, and exciting sponsor goodies from local business such as; Ryders Eyewear, SoundRunner, Nester’s Market, Hornby Energy Bars, Nootka & Sea, Ener-C, Mountain Squeeze, Counterpart Coffee, Euphoria Natural Health and Health Food Heaven.
What is Zesty Weekend
A long time in the making, we are thrilled to launch Zesty Weekend—an in-depth wellness platform focused on the heart and soul of living a full and Zesty Life. The program is specifically designed to be an up close and personal experience with a select group in an intimate setting.
Self-growth & life balance
Over the course of the weekend Rachelle will take you through the Zesty Life curriculum, which encompasses over 50 pages of exploratory questions and insights. This is the life-changing inner work required to optimize your life balance, relationships, career, amplify your inner voice, integrate holistic wellness into your daily life and access your purpose.
Movement & exercise
Baked into the weekend is everything wellness. Andi will introduce you to Pilates as a vital component of your Zesty life. She will educate you on functional movement patterns in your body and how these patterns help to build a strong foundation for efficient and intentional movement—whether it’s on the Pilates equipment, adventuring in the mountains, riding your bike, training for a marathon or simply carrying the groceries home, Pilates will create more mindful movement in your everyday life. Plus, it feels amazing!
Andi will also introduce you to Aerial yoga hammocks, where you’ll work on stretching, strengthening, decompression and where you can bring out your playful side! Rounding out the movement component of your weekend, you’ll finish your day with Yin yoga by Heather Kennedy, a class to help find peace in yourself while creating much needed space in your body and your mind.
Sleep
Sleep is one of the most critical acts of self-care and living a Zesty Life. Sleep problems and insomnia are common issues for many people; stemming from life imbalance, stressful jobs, anxiety and lack of exercise, all of these issues can have long-term effects on health and well-being. Many of us attempt to tough it out, supplement with caffeine and ignore warning symptoms of sleep deprivation, but do you really know what sleep deprivation is doing to your body and your life?
Professional sleep expert Victor H. Javeri Jr., PhD, RPSGT, CSE will discuss sleep hygiene, common sleep myths and the problem with metatonin. He will give advice for restoring your body’s natural sleeping rhythms and share the link between sleep and a Zesty Life. This is an absolutely fascinating exploration of the journey to better health, a peaceful state of mind and restful sleep.
Delicious food
Mouthwatering, vibrant and healthy plant-based breakfast, lunches and snacks are on the menu for the weekend! Rachelle will share nutritional insights, recipes and tips on creating healthy, easy meals.
In your fast-paced life, it’s not uncommon to be eating on the run and making poor choices. Many are seeking instant-fix diets and are being bombarded by nutritional information. Rachelle will share tools and tips for making smart choices, listening to your body and embracing food as the lifeblood of our experiences, adventures and greatest moments.
