This burrito is delicious and super simple to make. I’ve spent a lot of time traveling Central and South America, exploring their cultures as I host yoga + surf retreats. I am a foodie. I love trying new foods in different places and then adapting those recipes to fit my lifestyle and preferences when I come home.
While I LOVE bean burritos, sometimes beans cause inflammation in my gut so while we are going through this Spring season where our bodies are naturally detoxing in our liver and kidneys especially (See Ayurveda Nutrition), I decided to create this masterpiece with some alternatives.
This burrito contains sweet potatoes and kale, which can benefit your gut health and may support healthy vision, immune system, and brain functioning (Plus way more! I encourage you to read up on these superfoods in your spare time! They are INCREDIBLE!)
Sweet potatoes are naturally rich in:
- Vitamin A

While kale is naturally rich in:

- Vitamin B6
- Manganese
- Vitamin A

I always feel better knowing that I am feeding my body temple with great foods, made by my loving hands, with food I could growing right in my back yard and not harm a single being doing it.

I re-launched EOS’s website in 2012 as a travel, yoga, and blog business. This is when I moved to Costa Rica, and taught my first yoga-retreats. This site in particular holds a very special place in my heart. This is when the pieces of my life’s purpose puzzle started to really come together. I was putting my visions into fruition. I wasn’t just thinking about living my purpose and passion, I was living it. I am tearing up right now even reflecting on this period of my life. Do you understand how exhilarating this was? I was a brand new teacher who had been teaching a lot since receiving her E-RYT 200 in 2011, but to start a yoga retreat business?! I just knew I had to. I had WIND at my back. For those of you who are living to serve others, you get this. I filled that retreat on my own, with the help of Spirit of course, but that just goes to show you how powerful FAITH and TRUST are. My yoga retreat business has been steadily growing ever since. I have been running annual retreats in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Peru since this launch of that site. I have testimonials upon testimonials for EOS retreat go-ers who have had their lives vastly improved and positively changed from these week long explorations. God is so good, you guys.
Alana’s love for yoga came from firsthand experience with just how powerful the practice is. “In 2009, Yoga found me. Inside the studio, she experienced a deep sense of belonging, but the most profound part was what happened after. “I felt as though I was at true peace. I finally knew what the word meant. Until that moment, I had just understood it cerebrally. There is something profound to be said about Peace dropping into the heart.”
