What the Press has to say about Mickey Mehta

A BODY TO KILL FOR

Fancy being on the silver screen? Well sharpen your acting skills, perfect your PR and sign up for dance lessons. And oh, before you sing the dotted line, get yourself a body like one of our bodylicious stars

BIPASHA’S BUFF BOD:

Mickey Mehta,holistic health guru and spiritual advisor trained Bipasha Basu for her Ford International Super Model contest

“With a body like Bipasha’s, you’d have to put it through a lot of abuse before you could get it out of shape. Bipasha is naturally fit and her body naturally responds to exercise and fitness. For a overall sleek and toned look like hers, I recommend equipment-free training. Ideally I’d suggest a boot camp like training because that sort of regimen is more effective, keeps the body fitter for longer if you do have to go off working out at any point and is a lot more interesting. I’d suggest a combination of calisthenics, pilates and yoga. To add spice to the regimen, a little swimming also could be done.”

Strike an asana to lose weight

You may not sweat it out, but yoga will still help you lose that bulge

Yoga has a broad holistic approach towards life. It teaches you a new lifestyle and a healthy way of thinking. Yoga is a fluid process, which has an ability to transform the worst of diseases into balanced health just like water has the ability to break down the strongest rock over a period of time. Although it’s a very slow and subtle process, it’s powerful and effective and offers tremendous healing effects.

Weight loss through yoga works on physical, physiological and psychological levels. It strengthens, stimulates and synchronises the immune, endocrine and nervous systems. Thus it regulates the elimination of fat through a healing process.

Yoga stimulates the endocrine system, which is responsible for the secretion of hormones in our body. Yoga asanas help stimulate sluggish glands to increase their hormonal secretions.

Though you do not sweat off any pounds during yoga-asanas and meditation, a daily practice of yoga brings your body in a state of wellness

MICKEY MEHTA (Fitness Trainer)

On his personal regime

“I love exercising and working out. I especially love stretching out because stretching exhilarates and promotes blood circulation in the body. I meditate and do yoga. Also it’s very important to be optimistic and eat healthy. Drink lots of water and eat lots of fruits. Learn to be happy.”

Mickey Mehta’s 8th prodigy makes it at the international beauty pageant

Tanya Vakil becomes the 8th international pageant winner trained, groomed, metamorphosed by India’s ace holistic guru Mickey Mehta. At the Miss Tourism International pageant held in Heyuan, China she bagged 1st runner-up position

The others who have made it big on the international scene in the recent past under the able guidance of Mickey Mehta are Manpreet Brar, Diana Hayden, Yukta Mookhey, Lara Dutta, Priyanka Chopra, Diya Mirza and Aryan Vaid.

Tanya, a 22 year-old interior designer by profession was a complete novice to the modelling industry. She approached Mickey Mehta to make a shot at the glamour industry. Mickey spotted a winner in the little girl who he had coached for swimming 10 years ago. She showed great potential and in just 3 months time he groomed, metamorphosed and transformed her into a pure winner of sorts.

Her height being just 5’7” was a major draw-back at the Miss India pageant. She stood 4th at the Ponds Femina Miss India 2006 but took away 2 titles – Miss Catwalk and Miss Iron Maiden (Miss Super-fit)

3 months of rigorous training of physical culture, mental empowerment, emotional wellness and spiritual evolution gave her the winning streak and the edge it needed to shine continuously. She was super-charged on the spiritual and philosophical fronts to unleash her full potential whilst answering questions and being noticed and appreciated throughout the pageant.

Mickey Mehta: Meditation, prayer and breathing, are the three most important routes to good health

Health is nothing but organic wellness. I have come to realize that using meditation and prayer is the best healing technique. Exercise can only be a very secondary technique for achieving physical wellbeing. When I train people, I start at the physical level first, then move up to the mental level and then, finally, to the spiritual plane,” says Mehta. “Good health to me is when every small instrument and component of the body works in unison,” he adds.

COFFEE OR TEA FOR ME?

Kickstarters, energy providers, stress busters or just plain pass time – what’s brewing at Mumbai’s work places? LIFE@WORK pits coffee against tea to figure out which beverage is your healthiest bet

Is coffee a good pre-workout beverage?

Even though coffee gives you instant energy, it isn’t advisable to drink coffee before a workout. People who want to lose weight and shape their bodies in haste, indulge in these diet-exercise regimes. It leads to disastrous results.

WHICH IS THE BEST FORM OF EXERCISE FOR YOU?

From yoga to sports to a workout in the gym, each type of exercise offers you a bouquet of benefits.

Holistic Health Guru Mickey Mehta gives you the comparative analysis…

PHYSICAL: Yoga orchestrates all the systems of the body and makes them one. From cleansing to stimulating to healing to rejuvenating and regenerating.. It does this on the bio-chemical level. It flushes out toxins and improves the digestive and elimination problems. Yoga also benefits the musculoskeletal system by challenging every muscle, ligament and bone with gentle resistance. It tones up the muscle, stretches and burns the flab and increases the body’s tenacity. It invigorates the central nervous system. Swimming and Pilates give about 25 per cent of the benefits that yoga does. Today’s gym workouts involve all kinds of harmful things ingested to boost performance like steroids, fat burners and hormone boosters. Sports, too could be damaging if not done under proper supervision.

PSYCHOLOGICAL: Yoga is the only form of exercise that results in the analytical and creative sides of the brain working in tandem. It clears confusion, enhances self-esteem and uplifts you spiritually. Swimming refreshes, calms and soothes you and cleanses your aura. Sports are valuable when played with fulfillment – not victory – being the yardstick of excellence.

EMOTIONAL: The happy hormones yoga generates give you a surge of positivity, empower you and give you a vision without limitation. While the chemicals ingested by today’s gym enthusiasts tend to make you irritable and mean, yoga makes you gentle, philanthropic and conscientious.
