Sonja Eberhardraw/vegan/macrobiotic chef & teacher
Being passionate about nutrition, yoga and health was the beginning of a culinary journey for Sonja. Moving to West Australia in 1996 changed the life of Australian born and European raised qualified jeweler and jewelry designer. Despite her lifelong passion for all types of food & cuisine, her 18-year professional foray into the culinary field coincided with her discovery of live plant based cuisine. Working in various wineries and cafes, and then opening her own cafe Sonja's Healthy & Tasty Foods for 3 years, gave her the starting point in building the reputation as "the local food Queen." In addition, having worked with likeminded raw talents such as Giles Hohnen, Matt Samuelson, Nwenna Kai. Sayuri Tanaka and Felix Schoener was not only a great learning experience but also an opening door to the raw food world.
The opening of Samudra, a centre with yoga, retreats and a raw café in the southwest of Australia, was the beginning of a new journey for her. Later…wanting a new challenge and a preference for being "behind the scenes," she continued to redefine her skills by eventually running the production kitchen, researching and developing new recipes for the café and creating raw granolas, crackers, wraps, ice cream, superfood elixirs and tonics and raw chocolates, which gave launch to Samudra's signature brand Biolive.
Being involved with retreats and workshops and catering for functions such as David Wolfe's Australian Longevity Tour, Sonja discovered a new passion in spreading her knowledge to people eager to learn and change their ways in improving their health. Inspirational teaching along with the freshest ingredients to nourish and energize the body, mind and soul are her two key ingredients in reaching those who seek to learn.
She was able to take that wisdom and passion through a new door when she received an invitation to assist Sayuri Tanaka at Daniel Aaron's Radiantly Alive Yoga Teacher Training and intensive Raw Chef course in Bali 2012. Now we're so grateful to see her journey continue as the head chef for 2013.
From Sonja:
I believe that good food and health go hand in hand. Everything I do is based upon a desire to bring together culinary Art and ultimate nutrition. In my effort to achieve this goal, I employ innovative techniques and creative thinking to prepare minimally processed plant based cuisine that is delicious, vibrant and above all nutritious. I firmly believe in the balance in all things, food and lifestyle are no exception."

The island of the gods, Bali and her people is a culture Yoga International magazine describes as 'living yoga.'

Embedded in rice terraces, temples and powerful energy, at a slight elevation so cooler than the nearby coastal heat, Ubud's climate has turned it into the perfect yogic destination.
