OUR MANIFESTO
In 2024, Tree of Maya was born out of an URGENT need for commitment in the face of harmful eating habits that threaten our health and the planet. We aimed to make science-backed practices accessible, promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being in response to the climate crisis.
We created an innovative, tested, and proven method that delivers direct benefits for physical and psychological health. OUR GOAL: to make people understand the importance of our diet for our health, within the context of the ecological crisis.
We aspire to promote HEALTHY, RESPONSIBLE, AND FAIR eating habits for each and every one of us.

The Story
THE STORY
At the beginning of the Tree of Maya adventure (2022-2023), we launched wellness workshops combining yoga and tastings of organic picnic baskets. Wanting to go further, we explored the CONNECTION between HEALTH and NUTRITION. Several key observations emerged:
-
The rise of diseases linked to our lifestyles is alarming.
-
The lack of nutrition education affects all generations.
-
Junk food is on the rise: nearly 10 million French people are currently obese.
-
The loss of biodiversity and the climate emergency are closely related to our FOOD CHOICES.
-
60% of French people are concerned about the state of the planet and want urgent action.
-
Although 77% of French people want local and organic products in restaurants, only 37% actually offer them.
Trends and Developments:
-
The benefits of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness are now recognized in the HEALTH field, notably thanks to the work of Dr. CHRISTOPHE ANDRÉ and Dr. LIONEL COUDRON.
-
In just three years, 10 million French people have practiced YOGA, but the quality of training varies greatly. Uneven professionalization and sometimes too-short training raise concerns about practitioner safety. It is essential to ensure the SAFETY of practitioners by clarifying the status and training of yoga teachers.

WHY TREE OF MAYA ?12345
The tree symbolizes ROOTING AND BALANCE — essential values to reconnect with oneself and nature in a constantly changing world, while living as ECO-CONSCIOUS citizens.
In the face of hyper-connectivity and current upheavals, our method invites us to restore balance between the body, mind, emotions, and the environment, by TRANSFORMING our relationship with food.
Adopting a more conscious and respectful diet supports our overall HEALTH: digestion, emotions, immunity. Nourishing ourselves is not only about what we eat, but also how we do it.
Tree of Maya offers personal transformation with a COLLECTIVE IMPACT. We believe that schools, businesses, communities, and associations play a key role. By integrating our method into their actions, they promote physical, mental, and emotional health, while contributing to a sustainable way of life.
Our approach is also an INTERGENERATIONAL commitment. Maya, the name of Hanna’s daughter, our founder, embodies the hope for a legacy where humans and nature coexist in harmony for future generations.
MAYA stands for:
M – Meditation: Understanding our eating habits
A – Alimentation: Nourishing the body consciously
Y – Yoga: Harmonizing the body and mind
A – Amour: Love for oneself, others, and the Earth
