In this yoga retreat, the food system typically focuses on providing nourishing and wholesome meals that support the practice of yoga and overall well-being. Here are some key aspects of the food system in a yoga retreat:

Healthy and Balanced Meals: The emphasis is usually on providing nutritious, plant-based meals that are balanced in terms of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds are often staples.

Mindful Eating: Mindfulness is encouraged during meals, which involves being fully present and aware of the eating experience. Participants are encouraged to savor each bite, chew slowly, and appreciate the flavors and textures of the food.

Special Dietary Considerations: This yoga retreat accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences, such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or dairy-free options. This ensures that participants with specific dietary needs can still enjoy nourishing meals.

Local and Organic Ingredients: We prioritize sourcing ingredients locally and using organic produce whenever possible. This supports sustainable agriculture practices and reduces the environmental impact of the food system. More than 80% of the fruits and veggies that you are going to eat are coming directly from our garden.

Community Dining: Meals are often shared communally, fostering a sense of connection and community among participants. This allows for social interaction, sharing experiences, and building relationships.
