Who We Are

Ananya has been practicing and working in the field of holistic wellness since her teenage years. In East Harlem, Ananya worked for Soluna Holistic Spa teaching yoga classes and developing the juice bar & vegan eatery. She has completed over 800+ hours of Yoga Teacher Trainings in Hatha, Vinyasa, Kundalini, Kriya and taken additional courses in Ayurveda, pranayama and prenatal. She began studying Ayurveda in 2012 in Laughing Lotus Yoga School, and around the same time dove into Macrobiotics and Eastern Medicine. She began using food to help treat various ailments relating to both physical and mental health. Ananya moved to India where she worked with the sustainable Ayurvedic organizations Gotirthashram & Panchgavya Healthcare India doing research & development, marketing and product creation. In the Himalayas, she deepened her spiritual practice, and after 6 years, returned to TN starting Ananya Wellness offering holistic education, yoga/ meditation classes and creating gourmet holistic food and herbal treats. She began working as the holistic chef for Mobile Macro Meals, a macrobiotic vegan company. Her and Robby met and started SUNstenance, LLC and are now offering vegan, holistic meal prep, catering, events and retreats and educational classes.

 

Robby began learning the truth about health and wellness in 2009 while facing a life-threatening situation in which western medicine failed him entirely. After mal practice by a trusted family dentist left him with Epileptic seizures and continuous pain, he came across a documentary titled “The Beautiful Truth” which sent him down the path to undoing the damage caused by not only this procedure but the lifetime of assault on the physical, mental and emotional body that is our modern life. Robby’s philosophy on health and nutrition has evolved continuously over the years, but now focuses on the common “pillars of health” that are shared in most traditions including Ayurveda. His common sense approach prioritizes adequate sleep, hydration, sunshine, fresh air, movement, optimized nutrition and the careful application of fasting and cleansing modalities to achieve health and wellness.
