Proper nutrition is key for our trainees’ energy levels
Since we have gotten such a positive response from you on our peek into the world of our teacher trainees, we thought you might like to see what our students eat while they are here for the 15-day intensive Christian yoga retreat.
Light and Nutritious Food for a Health Transformation
Let’s face it, how many of us think about the fuel we put into the bodies God gave us? Most Americans grab processed, unhealthy “food” and wonder why they feel tired, sick, and unhappy.
Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.
–3 John 1:2, New International Version
One of the things we believe at Yahweh Yoga is that eating a whole-food, unprocessed plant-based diet is important to good health. And since most of trainees enroll in our program to jump-start a personal change (as well as a professional one) we wanted our students to experience the best food possible so they could experience for themselves how good a clean diet can feel.
Chef-prepared Vegan and Raw Selections
Does the idea of a plant-based diet scare you a little? Don’t worry, many people feel that way at first, but we find that this reaction is typically a reaction to the unfamiliarity of vegan and raw food more than anything else.
So we decided that if our students are willing to go outside their comfort zone, we should give them food worthy of the effort they are making. We hired Chefs Julia and Starlyn from Whole Foods who have kept our students fueled for rigorous yoga and intensive learning sessions — all while introducing how beautiful and delicious healthy food can be.

Are you wondering if Yahweh Yoga’s Christian Yoga teacher training is the right step to start your professional, personal, and spiritual transformation? Please see our Teacher Training FAQ for more information, or contact us to speak with us personally.
All of the food I have eaten during the training has been delicious, filling and FRESH! I can tell a huge difference in my energy level after eating. I had very little exposure to completely vegan raw food before enrolling in the teacher training program. Now I know how important it is to be aware of the things I eat and nourish my body with. Chef Julia is not only a great Chef but also a great teacher as we are all learning how we can incorporate healthy eating in our everyday life when we return home. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything and highly recommend to anyone who may be considering the teacher training.
