  • Basic Principals of a Healthy Diet
    Eating consciously and cleanly; There is a clear recognition that the quality of our consciousness is to a great extent determined by what we eat, since this determines the quality of our blood, which determines the quality of every cell in our body, which determines the quality of every cell in our body including our central nervous system and that the physical body and its billions upon billions of cells must depend upon proper and complete nutrition, this in turn affects the quality of our perceptions and therefore our mood.
  • Intuitive Eating -Your Relationship to Food
    No two people are the same; By it's natural course, as our experience and practice of yoga increases, our awareness of food, our individual sensitivity to what our body needs, or the spirit desires, will expand. With increased awareness to the nature of certain foods, and noticing our relationship to the intake of these foods, we can to a great extent, maximize our
    energy, health, vitality and moods.
  • Cleansing and Purification - Guiding Principals
    A clean machine; periods of cleansing through natural and water rich fresh foods are known for their influence in cleaning out old debris in the body at a deep level, often producing a response of shedding unwanted weight, and renewing energy and vitality.
  • Optional- Purification Program - Purification thru Natural Foods
    A matter of balance; this optional eight day program will give you guidelines for following an eight day eating program of fresh natural foods, which includes the use of raw and steamed vegetables, fresh vegetable and fruit juices, fresh fruits and herbal teas. Tips and guidance on how to prepare for the Walt Baptiste Eight Day Purification Program, and a written copy of this tried and true cleansing program developed by Walt Baptiste in the 1940's will be included as part of this workshop fee [foods are not included].
