What previous course participants say:

"Gunn Helene is a skilled and committed teacher, she has a lot of knowledge and gives a lot of herself in the classes. It's always a pleasure to partake in her courses. Highly recommended!»

- Serena Veslemøy Frati


Reviews of Yoga and Diet: the Mindful Connection (the book this course is based on):

This is an easy-to-read, yet multifaceted book on eating, food and yoga philosophy, written with a nutritionist's in-depth knowledge of food and nutrients, as well as with a yogi's open mind and acceptance that we are all different and have our own journey, even when it comes to food. The book is spiced with links for further reading and exciting recipes to try out.

- Janne Vinje Martinsen, yoga teacher


“An easy to read, yet informative book which explains what other books have missed: the deeper connection between yoga and its philosophy around food. What does it mean, what are the ayurvedic recommendations for different persons/qualities and how do you apply these to your personal practice? Gunn Helene’s background as a Registered Dietitian makes the book even more valuable as it gives you the extra input on nutritional content of recommended foods and the scientific evidence around certain aspects of the recommendations. I wish this book was on the curriculum of my Teacher Trainings! A must read for all yogis interested in food, Ayurveda and health in a modern context.”

- Runa Spilling, yoga teacher and nutritionist

Who this course is for:

  • Yoga students looking to practice yoga off the mat
