NEW YORK, Feb. 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nationally recognized health and fitness expert, Jennifer Galardi, knows the challenges everyone faces trying to stay centered in a hectic world. She understands it can be difficult to carve out time for yourself between work, home and family commitments. That's why she's on a mission to teach people how to create healthy habits and find balance, with her latest venture, livWHOLE Retreats.

Galardi says, "While technology has brought wonderful advancements to our society, it has also been a contributing factor in declining health. Many of us lead fairly sedentary lifestyles, moving only our fingers on a keyboard or walking just far enough to get from our car to our desk. Our bodies were meant to move. It's vital that we begin to see fitness not only as a means to an end (such as a trim waistline), but also as a daily routine to keep our bodies comfortable and disease-free."

Fully customizable, livWHOLE Retreats bring the restorative and energetic 'vacation' to you and are designed around you and your company's needs. Whether you want a one day on-site team building retreat or a week of sunrise yoga, afternoon cooking classes and a way to unplug before your team heads home, livWHOLE Retreats offers a variety of classes and seminars to ensure your employees are fulfilling their highest potential.

livWHOLE Retreats are a great affordable and healthy alternative for companies seeking something other than the typical convention-style meetings or team- building gatherings. Galardi says, "Learning tools to take care of yourself makes you more productive not only for the time you participate in a retreat, but also in the long term. Yoga, mindful eating, meditation, exercise and good nutrition are all ways to improve physical ailments, manage stress and become more productive. Whether it's helping to relieve carpal tunnel syndrome and back pain, or having an employee improve conflict resolution skills, the bottom line is the techniques I teach and information I share can be life changing."

Throughout her career, Galardi has worked with some of the hottest bodies in Hollywood including Julianne Hough, Kim Kardashian and Carmen Electra to help them achieve their phenomenal physiques. No matter who she is working with, she stresses the importance of being present in the moment -- and says, "The best thing we can do is educate ourselves about nutrition, fitness and wellness. Fill your toolbox with knowledge and then make the best decisions on which tools you'll use on any given day according to the challenges you may face."
