While with us you will arise daily to the nutritious and cleansing power of fresh coconut
water straight from the tree which will provide you the fluids and electrolytes needed to
fuel your morning Yoga practice.
At various times during the day you will enjoy a delicious fresh tropical fruit smoothie
made with super foods such as Maca, Spirulina, Bee Pollen and Moringa, fresh fruit
plate, green leafy vegetable salad and soup. Your dinners will consist of options such as
