about us
Yoga and nutrition is a new project born in the latter part of 2007 between Jo Kemp, yoga teacher, and Alexa Jarzebowska, nutritional therapist and yoga teacher.
The source of inspiration for bringing together these two paths came from a desire to encourage people to take yoga off the mat and into their everyday lives.
The ancient art of Yoga is a way of being which reveals our connection with nature. It invites sensitivity and respect for the body and often results in a desire to nourish ourselves with good food and mindful eating.
We hope to help people to reconnect with their intuition, so that they can choose what will serve their body best. In yoga, we are encouraged to listen to the body. In the same way we hope to encourage people to listen to their body’s needs rather than simply eating what is in the fridge, or what their taste buds are clamouring for.
We hope you will join us on these exciting and enjoyable breaks away.
