Jakob Gricar

After a decade in competitive martial arts, Jakob left his home country and travelled around the world, learning different spiritual practices and conscious ways of living with nature. His curiosity towards all things nutrition and mindfulness related fueled the desire to experience different schools of knowledge and look at health and happiness from a more holistic perspective. That manifested through his travels through Asia and eventually managing a health-oriented restaurant and café in Melbourne, Australia. After finishing a yoga teacher training in India, he journeyed all over South America, learning about plant medicine healing and permaculture designs between some well known retreat centres and completely secluded tribal communities, sharing his knowledge of meditation through workshops and supporting conscious transformation with creative yoga classes.

Jakob is a trained chef with passion and understanding of optimal nutrition, a certified yoga teacher with years of teaching experience, a meditation coach with his practice rooted in yogic and buddhist traditions and certified in permaculture design. His vision is to assist personal transformation journeys through movement, healing foods, plant medicine, meditation and archetypal exploration, to teach and inspire through his writing and to co-create conscious eco-communities where strong like minded individuals work together with nature and each other.

He is currently studying an advanced integrative yoga program focusing on restorative and therapeutic styles as well as assisting well known restaurants in Tulum with creating a new, more holistic menú.
