Today is #WorldFoodDay , a day to focus on the importance of food security around the world. ⁠

Organic, plant-based Soup Meals are hand-delivered throughout the Santa Barbara community, bringing oncology-based nutrition and kindness directly to clients’ doors. They do it for the love.⁠

Eddie Ellner

Eddie Ellner opened Yoga Soup in 2001 and has taught there ever since. The responsibility of running a business dedicated to offering fresh carrots and useful wisdom has awakened him to his own nearly boundless ignorance and need to practice. His classes combine yoga poses, non-duality flavored dharma, current events, resistance stretching, and the occasional…
