It’s rare to have such an opportunity that brings a beautiful atmosphere and an open space to practice yoga and learn about raw vegan food. We will have another session to practice a yoga class that will help purify our energy channels, and a living foods session that will help purify the body while eating desserts!

Orange colors are bright in November to celebrate not only Halloween but also “Dia de los Muertos”, a Mexican festivity that honors the “Day of the Death”. In this festivity food offerings are made to the deceased family members and friends, so the Death take the “essence” of the food with them.
