As you are accumulating a vast amount of knowledge through theory and experiencing live foods and Fermentation, we will compliment it by offering 2 yoga practices a day.

Michelle and Randi have been teaching on the Lake and with each other for the last few years so you don't want to miss this opportunity to immerse yourself into their teachings as they join forces in this amazing retreat

Your Facilitators
Michelle Tufts and Jared Wharton
|
Michelle is a certified yoga instructor, YTT anatomy teacher and a self-taught fermentation enthusiast. A lover of all things food and health related, Michelle studied permaculture and herbology for several years in Australia before moving to lake Atitlan to take on the role of farm director at the Mystical Yoga Farm. There, she routinely taught classes on gardening, nutrition, cooking, natural soap and salve making, and of course, fermentation. After meeting Jared, and discovering a mutual passion for healing through food, the two of them moved to San Marcos; and thus, Love Probiotics was born.
Jared began his adventures in fermentation in Alaska home-brewing beers and pickling root vegetables. After leaving Alaska for Central America, he found an interest in natural medicine while living in the countryside of Nicaragua. After meeting Michelle on the lake, and watching her treat people with raw, delicious, sauerkraut as a cure for diarrhea and parasites, he was hooked on fermented foods. Jared is now experimenting routinely with soy bean ferments and koji. Jared has taught over 100 workshops on fermentation. |
