Yoga Retreat Catering
Namaste!
Are you planning a yoga retreat? Would you like to incorporate Ayurvedic principles into the meals you provide your guests in a conscious way, but unsure how? We offer Ayurvedic meal planning, which can seamlessly be integrated into a retreat environment, allowing you participants to learn about Ayurvedic principles to nourish their body, mind and spirit—the perfect complement to the yoga journey you are leading them on.
I see retreats as a place to connect, expand, and nourish. The food is vital to this, and I am committed to matching the retreat's energy with intentional food preparation.
I am trained in Plant-Based and Ayurvedic Nutrition and hold the following certifications:
- "Plant-Based Nutrition" from The T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and eCornell.
- "Ayurvedic Chef" and "State of Health" from Hale Pule, LLC, a recognized member of National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA)
- "Ayurveda Nutrition and Lifestyle" from SKK Ayurveda & Panchakarma, New Delhi, India.
- "Integral Vedic Counselor" 300 hours certification from American Institute of Vedic Studies.
Our menu reflects the most popular styles of retreat-style catering, but customization is always available. It's very important to me to be an asset to the retreat, and for the food to help empower both the hardworking leaders as well as the participants in their journey.
I aim to provide 80% local and/or organic produce & proteins, always prioritizing farm-to-table, and strive to practice zero waste as much as possible.
Retreat catering is a fully immersive experience, and although the work is labor-intensive physically and mentally, it is a true honor to support sacred space. Thank you for your consideration in bringing me in to your intentional event.
Meals will be cooked based on seasonal vegetables and ingredients.
My food is my art, the truest way I’ve found to combine my love of travel, hospitality and wellness into one place. If we align then it’s meant to be!
With Gratitude,
Smita.
