Your Instructor

Greetings friends, my name is Miguel, and first I’d like to thank you for taking the time to explore the content that I have prepared for you all with an open mind. I am a yoga Nidra and meditation teacher with a background in culinary arts and healthcare. Over the years while working in both the food and medical industries, I have observed a great disconnect in the relationship between people and the food they eat to nourish the body, mind and soul. While there are many factors that contribute to this imbalance, I’ve found that many times people are lacking the information and a bit of guidance in order to begin exploring an alternative option. Over the years, while investigating and integrating principles from alternative health/healing systems specifically to food and digestion, a more harmonious experience of life became much more accessible. My hope is that through the information and philosophies presented in this course you all might find yourselves even 1% closer to your own balanced and harmonious life as well. May your personal journey to health and vitality flourish.
