Nordine G. Zouareg is an internationally know French fitness expert who currently manages the Body Mindfulness Center at Miraval – Life In Balance, a world-renowned resort/spa in Arizona. Nordine has won fitness/bodybuilding championships throughout the world. Relying on training strategies he developed based on his extensive educational background, including a Masters Degree in Physical Education and an International Personal Training certification and recognition as well as over 22 years experience in the fitness field.

Nordine's epic account of triumphing over personal obstacles only to become Mr. Universe and a cosmopolitan fitness expert qualifies him as a health guru par excellence. Born in the back of a French army truck in the North-African desert to impoverished, illiterate nomad parents, Nordine suffered from rickets and barely survived infancy, his was left for dead in a hospital because the Doctors did not think he'd make it. His parents were intrepid, however, they reclaimed their son and they soon made it to France, where they found good medical care for him. Hospitalized for the first two years of his life, Nordine was a tiny and timid child who was later beaten and mocked by the racist children in his school. As an adolescent 108-pound weakling, Nordine resolved to strengthen himself spiritually and physically. Pursuing a vision of total health despite poverty and lack of supporters, Nordine made his vision a reality and turned himself into an international body building champion, and then Mr. Universe, in a few years. As he tells his clients/guests, each one of us is born with everything that we need in this world. What's more, everyone, including you, is born with the power to become a champion, a champion of "life". To achieve internal strength, you must use your mental and spiritual powers to develop a positive mental and spiritual landscape inside yourself; he says at the same time, you must define your goals. These activities are the formative steps involved in what I call soul building. The more effort you devote to this, the more confident you will feel and the more capable and unstoppable you will become. The great news is that once you are mentally and spiritually invincible, your ability to connect the mind and the body is greater. The body/mind connection exists, and can be cultivated to varying degrees as a means of managing stress and promoting the immune system. Nordine G.
