FOOD YOGI Certification - Level 2

Australian-born, Paul is also known as the "Food Yogi." He was a celibate monk for 14 years from age 19-33 during which he lived very simply with few possessions, slept on the floor without a pillow, took cool showers, arose at 3.30am every morning, meditated for 2 hours and studied the ancient Vedas of India. He has traveled to 70 countries, appeared on radio, television and newsprint, and hosted presidents and leaders of the world. During Paul's travels, he visited three war zones-Chechnya, Sarajevo and Sukhumi. In 2005, Paul led an international team of volunteers to set up makeshift kitchens in villages across Sri Lanka in response to the Asian tsunami, where volunteers served freshly cooked vegetarian meals to tens of thousands. Paul is a vegan chef, public speaker, numerologist, holistic life coach, spiritual guide and the international director of Food for Life Global, the world's largest food relief that serves up to 2 million plant-based meals daily. Paul currently lives in Colombia, South America with his wife and son at her animal sanctuary.
