I was first introduced to yoga when I met a lovely yogi while living in London in 1998. I was so amazed at what he could do with his body, the strength and agility was such an inspiration. That was it I was hooked. I joined a few classes, bought books, went to India and became a little yogini fanatic. Little by little my yoga journey opened up so many interesting doors for me. One day, you know one of those WOW days when you discover something that has a huge impact on your life and you want to shout from the rooftops was when I discovered how more amazing yoga was while eating a raw diet. I had plateaued in my capacity and felt like I was not improving on strength, agility or complexity of my postures despite a daily practice. Then I went raw. I had so much energy that I was up at 5am to go to my bikram yoga class and then by the end of the day, I still wasnt tired so I would go to an Ashram yoga class, alongside working and mothering, cleaning, shopping and gardening. I did this for 3months pretty much non stop. My body was transforming like I had never known it and I was so excited. Life was great and getting better. During this training there was never one day when I woke up in pain, there was never any lactic acid build up. One of my yoga teachers at the time, told me how crazy I was to be on a raw diet. But I always say, you are your own master, no one can tell you how to live your life better than you know yourself. That is another thing about being raw, the longer you are with it, I have found the stronger I am mentally and emotionally.
So I decided to google Raw Yoga and well was I in for a huge suprise. I discovered Rainbeau Mars. For anyone who has interest in yoga I absolutely recommend checking out her website and classes. I got so excited that I travelled all the way to LA as part of Real N’ Raw to meet with her and take one of her classes. It was such a delight and her style and attitude to life was a perfect fit for us. She has worked with some of the top athletes in the world including Steffi Graf and Jonah Lomu and is the global ambassador for Adidas.
So for all you budding yogi’s and yogini’s out there, I can absolutely recommend increasing the amount of raw fruit and food in general into your diet. Being fit, flexible, strong and balanced does not come from eating pies and drinking coke. It is not rocket science, it is common sense. I wish I had discovered it sooner!
