After traveling the world\, his enthusiasm for Holistic Nutrition and a desire to provide value to both people and the environment\, brought him to New Zealand to study\, where he found home and a balanced combination of people and environmental values. Holistic Nutrition quickly developed into much more than a career opportunity; it became his passion. \nWhen time is taken to reconnect to one’s essence through a holistic lifestyle\, learn about whole foods preparation\, the plant and food cycle\, and the basics of nutritional science\, it becomes the single best investment in one’s own health. \nFind out how to make Nityatma’s seed bread here >[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1822″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]With experience in Hatha Yoga and traditional yogic cleansing techniques\, Gurubhakta brings 20 years of experience with him to Anahata.
