Why
: Would you like to turn vegetarian, do a headstand, wear white all day, eat macrobiotic food out of copper vessels from Varanasi? You could join a hippie sect or just stroll into The Yoga House, a new Santorini-style bungalow that offers yoga classes, goods that mean well and an all-day health cafe. bpb sampled mango, fig and mint juice, alfalfa salad, mini seed burgers and sugar-free apple pie, all of which were yummier than healthy food has any right to be. Watch out for the full review!
