Aria Peterman, C-IAYT

I have been nourishing folks with food since 1995, first on commercial fishing boats and then small charters in SE Alaska. Ayurveda became a steering compass for my life in 2007. I’ve been using it regularly to guide my body back to balance ever since. The Ayurveda I studied naturally dovetailed with the wholefoods perspective I was already practicing and evolved into the yoga retreat chef and Ayurveda educator I am today. I am an IAYT certified Yoga Therapist. I am faculty for Essential Yoga Therapy's IAYT accredited yoga therapist training program, teaching practical application of Ayurveda in the kitchen. Yoga and Ayurveda meet us exactly where we are. By nurturing our relationship to nature (Ayurveda) and the connection to all the layers of self (Yoga) we come back in line with our highest potential. I recharge best in the wilds, sweeping mountain scapes, and swirling tango floors. Food is a language, and I am honored to pass some of my fluency on to you.
