    Hi, my name is Helen and I am a passionate advocate of raw food, yoga, running and living the simple life.

    Currently traveling across Southern Europe in a caravan with hubby and two cats I provide online coaching and raw food and yoga retreats.

    You can find me at my website here - http://thefitoption.com
    My raw food blog here - http://365raw.wordpress.com
    And my travel blog here - http://helensrawfood.wordpress.com

    We are in Portugal for the summer but will be back in Spain in November and I am looking forward to holding some 'Raw Food and Yoga' days when I return.

    Looking forward to connecting with like minded people.

    Namaste
    Helen x

    Hi Helen - thanks for joining the forum, i hope that it will be a good place to connect with people and share what we are all doing. Whereabouts do you do the raw food and yoga days. If you look at the 'looking for yoga' thread on here there is someone interested in that kind of thing. Phil

    Hi guys, I am 'new' on the forum but have been in the Malaga region for the last decade.

    I am a firm believer in preventative measures when it comes to health.
    Food wise: I also believe that raw food when correctly done is a very mighty healer and preventative measure. I got on the raw food path 12 years ago and healed myself and my two older children of what seemed a lifetime of wretched misery... I share your passion in this sense Helen :)

    With respect to yoga too, I feel a great connection. I come from parents (both 80 yrs old) who have practiced yoga all their lives and still practice it. :) So I grew up with it.
    Unfortunately as I got rheumatoid arthritis at a young age after being vaccinated with the rubella vaccine I have a fair amount of damage to my joints. ( I have had a frozen shoulder for 31 years !.) So certain movements I can do but many are not possible :)

    But I use to do the whole works as a youngster! My mother taught us meditation too.. but it was more a prayer...
    All the best to all
