Description: Gain the Living Foods advantage. Living plant-based foods and yoga is the optimal energy match. Retreats don't have to provide cooked food like rice and beans that leave people short on energy. Those who are into yoga take charge of their health and become conscientious about the quality of the nutrition and energy they eat for the best flow of energy possible. Costa Rica has the best fresh food in the world, yet most food offerings at retreats can be uninspiring, de-energizing, or outright dismal. I'm an internationally known chef specializing in providing yoga, fitness, and other health-oriented retreats with a perfect complement of beautifully presented gourmet fresh, whole, plant-based food that is proven to inspire self-awakening and inner health, as well as satisfy nearly anyone on any diet.

If you're a retreat organizer of a studio, email me and I'll give you a sample recipe you can try when you're in Costa Rica, to demonstrate the satisfying value of living foods.

I can work alongside and train your own chef or facility staff, develop complete menus and themes, and feature wild and highly nutritious local foods that will make your retreat extra special. I also have extensive health coaching and teaching experience, another enhancement to yoga retreats, offering group demonstrations, classes and private consultations. Feature me as the official living foods chef of your event, and watch registrations fill more quickly.

My photos reflect the higher conscious quality of life, making your yoga retreat more appealing to the meaning of true vibrant health. If you sign up with me, I'll loan you some of these photos for your advertising. I'm also experienced in many disciplines of yoga, another reason retreat organizers hire me.
