About Joanne Gerrard Young: Originally from Ontario, Canada, Joanne Gerrard Young has been working in the culinary arts and holistic nutrition field since 1991. While living in the resort town of Whistler, British Columbia, she worked with some of the world’s top chefs, a time in her life that opened the door to traveling the world and enriching her cultural experience. Young has gained fundamental healing experience working closely with naturopathic doctors, herbalists, alternative healers, and doctors of Chinese medicine, as well as the general public, consulting and designing healing menus for a variety of health issues.

About Christina Kalyani: Christina Kalyani, a native Brazilian, has studied and practiced yoga since she was 18. Learning Hatha and Bhakti yoga, she traveled a yogic life in communities, exploring several lineages of yoga in Brazil, and venturing into Guatemala where she encountered Kindalini yoga, eventually participating in a pilgrimage by horse, presenting Asana Choreography and introducing yoga to the poor people of the Peruvian mountains. Her quest for spiritual intelligence continued as she then traveled from her homeland in South America to India to observe the Hindu way of life and study the origins of yoga from Vedic masters. Kalyani’s passion for discovering ultimate truths and ending suffering is gracefully woven into the yoga she shares with the world: “Going to yoga classes and stretching is not enough. We must understand the concepts behind the practice. We must accept the transformation. We must accept the gift of love, the gift of union…when this love can be felt deep within the heart as sparkling light from the window of the eyes, everyone gets touched and remembers that in reality we are practicing not just for ourselves or for our own illumination, but for the entire cosmic evolution.”Kalyani has been teaching and living yoga for the past 10 years in Costa Rica, and has taught yoga and been a massage therapist to Kate Moss and Leonardo DiCaprio, among several others.
