PURE FOOD FOR THE SOUL

The most important characteristic of a sattvic diet is its fresh and loving preparation and consumption. From an Ayurvedic point of view, ready-to-eat food in any form is considered non-sattvic and is always inferior to home-cooked food.

The supreme goal of all psycho-mentally oriented yoga. and Ayurvedic practices is to strengthen the SATTVA guna to live a life of holistic health and spiritual connectedness.
