Mariya Gancheva, a certified Kundalini yoga teacher and nutritionist, leads the challenge and guides participants on their weight loss journeys with a holistic approach that encompasses mind, body, and spirit.

Throughout the show, viewers follow a group of individuals as they embark on a 40-day journey to lose weight and improve their health. Mariya works with each participant to create a personalized plan that includes not only physical exercise and healthy eating habits, but also mindfulness practices and meditation techniques aimed at reducing stress and improving mental health.

Mariya's approach to weight loss is unique in that it does not focus solely on counting calories or following a strict diet plan. Instead, she encourages participants to view weight loss as a holistic process that involves nourishing the mind, body, and spirit. Through Kundalini yoga, meditation, and other mindfulness practices, Mariya helps participants to tune into their bodies and better understand their relationship with food and exercise.

Viewers are treated to stunning views of nature, including rolling hills, sparkling lakes, and sprawling forests. The setting helps to create a calm and peaceful environment that is conducive to relaxation and reflection.

Throughout the 40-day challenge, viewers get to know each of the participants as they share their struggles and triumphs on their weight loss journeys. Each participant has their own unique story and set of challenges, but they all share a common goal: to improve their health and transform their lives.

Mariya's gentle, supportive approach to weight loss is a refreshing departure from the often harsh and judgmental tone of many weight loss programs. She encourages participants to love and accept themselves as they are, while also setting achievable goals for themselves.

The show is not just about weight loss, however. It also touches on important issues related to mental health and self-care. Mariya stresses the importance of taking care of oneself and creating a sense of balance in one's life. Viewers are treated to lessons on stress reduction, self-compassion, and mindful living.

At the end of the 40-day challenge, viewers witness the amazing transformations that participants have undergone. Not only have they lost weight and improved their physical health, but they have also gained a deeper understanding of themselves and a greater sense of inner peace and happiness.
