There have been a lot of recent changes at the Power Yoga Company in the past month. We have sadly said goodbye to Kim and the Retreat Cafe but are thrilled to announce the opening of our own juice and raw food cafe!
This is an exciting new opportunity to fill our lovely Yogi’s and Yogini’s with beautiful, nutritious food which will be delicious and nourishing and will make you glow inside and out.
We have decided to go raw. There are so many health benefits to raw food, including a rise in energy levels, weight loss, better digestion, and it of course is environmentally friendly.
The raw food diet includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. These foods can be eaten alone or combined to produce delicious dishes that can replicate favourite meals which don’t hold the same nutritional value. Basically nutrient dense raw foods replace the less healthy ingredients. The whole process is fun and creative!
A raw food diet can also enhance the body’s ability to prevent and fight disease. The science behind this is that raw and living foods contain essential food enzymes that are destroyed if the food is heated to above 116 Fahrenheit (47 Celsius/Centigrade).
Raw foodists believe that enzymes are the life force of a food. Nature has given each food its unique perfect mix. It is these important enzymes which help us to fully digest our foods without having to rely on our own digestive enzymes, therefore putting less pressure on the body overall. We are so excited to be getting creative in the kitchen with all that nature has to offer. All of the food and juice will be organic and prepared at PYC!
If anybody has any suggestions please do get in touch at reception@thepoweryogaco.com
We look forward to seeing all of your glowing faces enjoy our new cafe!
