Come and experience the practice of Peaceful Weight Loss through Yoga. This weekend will provide us the space to practice together and find sangha (community). This retreat is open to both former participants of Peaceful Weight Loss seminars and participants looking to move towards their weight goals in a supportive and sane way.

Explore easeful, breath-based Hatha Yoga as the foundation for developing eating and lifestyle patterns that will help you find your balance. Peaceful Weight Loss, created and taught by Bhanu, who has lost one hundred pounds using this easy, gentle, restorative practice, is appropriate for everyone. Yoga postures, breathwork, meditation, suggestions for dietary change and time for questions will all be included.

All are welcome, appropriate for people at all stages of the weight management process.

Please contact Brandt directly with any questions or concerns. brandt@peacefulweightloss.com or visit www.peacefulweightloss.com

What do people say about Brandt's program, approach and his teaching?

"Awesome teacher - great instructions and theory. I had thought this program was just going to provide steps for weight loss. We went much deeper to get to the actual root of overeating. What I learned surprised me and now has me on the right track. Learning this was priceless to me" - Program Participant

"Brandt's techniques have helped me learn how to eat for energy, enjoy my food, and strengthen my body. Since meeting him, I have lost over 30 pounds and gained the focus I need to get through my day with energy to spare." - T.I.

"I have learned to really take care of me and do things to better myself. I am no longer doing it for anyone else; I am now doing it for me. I don't feel so stuck anymore, which is a totally euphoric feeling. Thank you for opening my eyes and helping me to see the person that I really am, thank you for showing me a healthier lifestyle for my mind, body and soul." - P.C.

"I have always heard that yoga was the best and right thing to do, but could never get into the practice. Brandt's understanding of a beginner's needs and clear way of communicating the steps to take allowed me to get started at my pace and strength level. I have been following his methodology for 8 months and am amazed at the transformation in my abilities and frame of mind." - S.Y.

"Brandt (Bhanu) brings an fresh attitude, a unique style and a real-world-grounded approach to the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of yoga. My practice, which he created for me, has changed my life!" - F.M.

Brand's highly recommended book is available through his website in various formats:

  in a downloadable format
  in paperback
  the book with DVD & CD

What do people say about Brandt's book?

"I have struggled for years with being overweight, and I have some serious physical limitations from injuries. I found this book to be a compassionate and practical guide to making changes in a way I could manage. It is well written and intelligent, and surprisingly easy to internalize. Using yoga and meditation to develop a healthy relationship with my body has proven to be an important first step in losing weight and getting healthy. This is not a quick fix book - it is helping me make real and fundamental changes to how I live day to day. I highly recommend it!" - J.F., Amazon.com review

"This book serves as a guide to peace with oneself - in my opinion, possibly the "final solution" to life-long problems with food and weight, and other similar matters." - S.P., Amazon.com review
