All of this seasonal and delicious fresh fruits and vegetables I have been so honored to receive, farm to table from my beautiful parents garden all summer, inspired me yesterday, while catching some sun rays and paddling around the danube’s Copa beach here in Vienna, to dedicate this show to yogic food thoughts, ayurvedic cooking and ayurvedic philosophies.

Yogi’s place a great emphasis on diet as an integral part of the successful practice of any spiritual discipline. Ayurveda addresses not only healing but also prevention and maintenance of the vitality so crucial in the practice of Yoga. Ancient seers described the human body and the body of the universe as composed of prana, the primal energy, the vital life force which manifests in the form of earth, water, fire, air and ether.

These elements are kept in harmony by a healthy body that consumes them through breath, food, water, sunshine, exercise and sleep. Yogis perceive foods such as grains, fruites, vegetables, seeds, beans, herbs and roots as vital carriers and balancers for the energy of prana in the body. Ayurveda sees medicine and diet as complementary rather than separate.
