Achieve greater balance through Ayurveda, both physically and mentally. Learn how to integrate these ancient teachings into a busy Western lifestyle.
Marleen Dijkhoff and Cielke Sijben led busy lives juggling careers, family, friends, and parties, but longed for more balance—both physically and mentally. Ayurveda came into their lives and completely transformed it. Sleep problems disappeared; they achieved a healthy weight (goodbye, bloated belly!), gained more energy, experienced less stress, and enjoyed a regular menstrual cycle. They also understand themselves—and the people around them—better. This book, which includes 29 recipes, is the comprehensive guide they themselves would have loved to read when they first started practicing Ayurveda.
Marleen Dijkhoff and Cielke Sijben They met at BNNVARA and have both worked in front of and behind the camera. In addition to media, they share another passion: everything related to Ayurveda. In 2021, they launched *De Ayurveda Podcast*, which reached the #1 spot on #1 within just one day. In addition to the podcast, they founded the *Alles Over Ayurveda* Community and organize Ayurveda retreats. Marleen runs her own coaching practice and also works as an editor-in-chief and director. Cielke is currently training to become an Ayurvedic therapist and also works as a radio producer.
