A founder of Eos Dance,
Arianna is a lady of many talents: a qualified ballet teacher at the
Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), pilates and fitness trainer, seniors’
instructor, diet and supplementation consultant, a rehab advisor, a
Sports and Remedial Massage therapist.
Arianna has worked for 20 years in
Italy and the UK with children and adults of all ages and levels. She is
now a mentor of the Royal Academy of Dance training prospective new
teachers.
With such warm, big-hearted and
approachable personality and passion for promoting various charities, no
wonder, we were keen on getting to know Arianna better, hence, our
questions to her:
Q: What made you start doing ballet initially?
A: It is an interesting story. I
was a real tomboy as a girl and my parents wouldn’t believe I really
wanted to wear a leotard. However, I kept asking insistently. I just
loved the idea of dancing and was convinced I would do it on a stage one
day. Well, they were very surprised to see me carry on.
Q: Have you always wanted to teach ballet?
A: Yes and no. I wanted to become a
ballerina just like the other girls, and a teacher when “too old to
dance”. However, my more practical aspiration was that of becoming a
school teacher, like my mum. I graduated and trained to do the latter
but never felt like leaving my lifetime passion for a school desk.
Q: How has ballet impacted on you personally and professionally?
A: I have always felt that ballet
suited my nature and the way I was raised. I like discipline, rules and
commitment. I have always felt comfortable being told and having to
follow what my teachers said. Ballet has probably only shown me how
rewarding hard work can be, especially when shrouded in such an
enchanting atmosphere.
Q: We assume that you are a very much health-orientated person? Is that the case?
A: I am but also like indulging in
treats. I believe there is nothing wrong in letting yourself go when
you generally follow a healthy lifestyle.
Q: How has ballet changed your attitude to food?
A: I am a unique case. Due to
thyroid problems and food allergies, I am incredibly skinny and this has
always been a great problem for me. It made me feel very unsecure as a
teenager. There is no way I could put on weight. I was hoping in
pregnancy but this only resulted in further weight loss… A complete
nightmare! As I mentioned, ballet is discipline. You must eat healthily
if you want to perform well. I do eat healthily to feel well and dance
as well as I can. However, I obviously don’t diet nor I feel I am doing
anything wrong when I eat up a whole bag of my favourite sweets. Ooops,
perhaps I shouldn’t have confessed that…
Q: If so, does it come naturally to you or you are that way for a specific reason?
A: Both. I was taught by my
parents that eating healthily is important so I have never had to make
an effort to do it. Feeling well is my specific reason.
Q: Would you like to try juice cleanse or any other cleanse plans?
A: Why not. Only on the condition that it won’t make me lose weight, though!
Q: What is your philosophy for a healthy and happy life, and how intrinsic is detoxing to this?
A: I may dare say that I am a
happy person. Probably, being healthy is one of the reasons why I feel
happy. There would be nothing worse for me than being unwell and
therefore unable to do all the things I like. Anything that could
support my long-term health is helpful, including detoxing.
Q: Are there any foods you wouldn’t eat?
A: No, not at all. There is
nothing I wouldn’t eat, except what I am allergic to. I am originally
Italian, so appreciating healthy food is simply second nature.
Q: What is an ideal daily menu for a ballet dance?
A: I don’t have a ballet menu. I
follow what I have been taught by my parents and by the fitness-related
studies I completed. A good balance of carbohydrates, protein, fruit and
vegetables, fluids and some nice comfort food.
How much sugar should we take daily?
Dr Francesco Branca, WHO's nutrition director, told a news conference
that the 10% target was a "strong recommendation" while the 5% target
was "conditional", based on current evidence.

Your body continues to detoxify and cleanse during the post-cleansing
period. Any toxins that have accumulated in your body will tend to be
swept out by natural fibre from the fruits and vegetables. Our Post-Detox Adaptation
package provides you with:
Probiotics: healthy bowel conditions, reducing the toxic load on the
liver as the bad bacteria generate toxins (the liver has to break them
down).
Digestive enzymes: ads digestion and prepares your body for cooked food
Spirulina: 10 vitamins, 8 minerals, and 18 amino acids and beneficial
enzymes. It contains a complete protein of 65-71% (12-15 times more
protein than steak) and is 5 times easier to digest than meat or soy
protein. It also helps reduce weight and with many allergies.
We are delighted to introduce our new cleanse edition – Reset Days! Similar to intermittent fasting idea, the essence behind our Reset Day is very simple: you drink our tasty, freshly cold-pressed juices and take natural supplements daily to support your main detoxification organs.
Based on the work of leading
scientists from around the world, this is a new alternative to standard
dieting. By implementing one or two Reset Days per week into your
lifestyle, you give your digestion system a rest, lose weight, achieve a
great control of your cravings and, most importantly, reset and improve
on your eating habits.
Just time for spring, why not get in
shape, energised and enjoy a wide range of potential health benefits
too. Studies of intermittent fasting show that not only do people see
improvements in blood pressure and their cholesterol levels, but also in
their insulin sensitivity.
Celebrities, models & athletes,
including model/actress Suki Waterhouse and Lauren Goodger, are amongst
the many satisfied fans of our Reset Days juice cleansing.
Depending on the type of Reset Day, you will receive:
- 4 Freshly prepared, organic, cold-pressed juices (500ml/bottle per day)
- 1 Potassium Broth or 1 Cleansing Miso Soup (500ml/bottle per delivery)
- Post-cleanse treat (differs every month)
- Raw Alkaline Soups
- A set of natural cleanse and detox supplements
- Comprehensive pre/during/post-cleanse guidelines
You can either try our 1-day Reset Day every few weeks or extend it to a full juice cleanse plan.
