Carissa is passionate about health and cooking. She has been practicing Hatha Yoga under Bijoylaxmi Hota since 1995 and has been cooking professionally since 2002. Recently, she has combined both interests in hopes of better serving others who love to eat and want to remain healthy. Firstly, she has learned to create and develop winning recipes. Secondly, she has been certified by Atreya Smith at the European Institute of Vedic Studies as an Ayurvedic Nutrition Therapist. With this knowledge, she feels better equipped to help others eat well and heal themselves through food. Carissa is also currently co-writing a cookbook with her yoga teacher in India, Ms. Hota, with chapters including recipes on Anti-Aging, Cancer, Acidity and Arthritis. (Ms. Hota is a yoga therapist of repute in India successfully treating ailments including asthma, arthritis, backache, tumors and cancer for 2 1/2 decades.) |
