About Me:: I am dipping my toes into this new Raw World and looking for like minded foodies/yogis/runners to chat with about this whole new world I am falling in love with.
What I do know to be true is I feel rocken each and every time I eat Raw and would love that feeling more and more!
I am forever a student of Yoga and am currently enrolled in an advanced teacher training program with Alan Finger of Ishta Yoga.....teaching has become my service.
I was born in the midwest, have lived in NYC for 10 years now and am craving to move to the waterfront or the mountains...anywhere with clean air and big bright stars at night. I have lived the nyc lifestyle and am in need of some R and R.
Looking for more knowledge, love and laughter at all times!
Considering studying at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition here in nyc, if anyone has been thru the program or thinking about it as well....would love to chat!
Im not 100% raw, but would love to someday make that transition in a healthy and supported way.

Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?: Smoothies! The thicker the better. Honey Mangos....I discovered them in India and fell in LOVE!

Interests (outside of Raw Food):: Training for my first marathon...NYC 2008, so not a lot of room for anymore interests at the moment.
I have much love for books, yoga, working out, my puppy and boyfriend (in that order:)), sunshine, creativity, creative souls, positivity, authenticity, writing, studying anything about health and nutrition, meditation and yes....I like Oprah :)

Favorite Books or Authors:: So many, so heres a few: Shantaram, Living your Yoga, Crazy Sexy Cancer, Detox Solution, A Fine Balance. I love non-fiction and anything about self awareness and empowerment. And of course...Eat, Pray, Love...I found myself in India for 3 months after reading this book :)...just got back in May.....AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!!

GI2MR Oath: I promise to do my best to keep this community drama free. I will not name call or throw around personal attacks. I pledge to be respectful even if I do not agree with another member's opinion. When possible, I'll try to smile : ): Yes! I accept the GI2MR Oath.

Not sure if I had gotten back to you. If I didn't, I deeply apologize...life has gotten a bit crazy. I didn't go to the School of Integrative Nutrition. I know some people who have and weren't so thrilled but I don't know from any personal experience. Let me know if you decide to go :) I"m interested to hear your feedback!
Look forward to hearing from you,
Audra

At 1:19am on August 1, 2008, Share Ross said…: Wow. Very impressed with your dedication to yoga. It is the one area that I feel I am lacking. Your energy is beautiful!! (geez, did that sound hippie or what?) That's so cool that went to India after reading that book. I read it too and was drawn to Bali and India both. Sooooo amazing. I wish I lived in NY so I could go to your yoga class!
Good luck on your marathon training. You're an inspiration!
I'm good with the raw thing... but the yoga thing.... definitely need to go there.

Peace,
Share

Ann Wigmore Invented the raw lifestyle, so if you're looking to learn from the source, I would hit her institute up. I can give you information on it once I'm at the school... I'm doing a working internship, and will send you all the information you want! :) Hee hee, raw recruit! ;)

My advice to you is to stick to the slow approach. Adding one raw meal in a day and slowly building up. I always make my "staple" foods in bulk...Most people stick to things a lot better when they plan ahead!

Tell me more about you. :)
