In 2004 when while at Yoga Thailand and repeatedly being told by guests how delicious the foods was, Jessica had the idea to put together a cookbook of the delicious recipes that were served at the retreat center. She spent time in the kitchen with the main cook, Su, documenting the recipes. The cookbook was very successful from the start, and has evolved into something professionally printed and beautifully photographet. It is now available on amazon.com. It is a mix of Thai, Indian and Western vegetarian recipes, extremely flavorful and healthy. This is a great way to kick start a healthy eating program, and goes very well with and Ayurvedic lifestyle and eating habits. Click here Yoga Thailand Healthy Lifestyle Cookbook

 

Jessica spent 2004-2007 working at the first location of Yoga Thailand. Living and working there had a profound impact on her life, especially due to the experience of truly living the yoga, delicious vegetarian food, a beautiful practice space, and a supportive environment. In order to better serve the thousands that now come from around the globe for yoga, it has grown from a small set of bungalows to a custom-built center, retaining the spirit and yogic energy. The new Yoga Thailand is a beautiful, retreat center built to welcome yoga practitioners from all over the world, and is nestled in coconut groves facing untouched beaches. Jessica returns to Yoga Thailand to teach a two week yoga retreat with lectures on Ayurveda and Nutrition. There will be a morning Mysore Style practice contact by Jessica and Paul Dallaghan, who is certified by Sri Pattabhi Jois, and is Jessica's asana teacher. Jessica will teach afternoon sessions on Ayurveda and Nutrition and lead evening programs. You will still have lots of time to relax, see the island, and try out the fantastic Thai massages.
