FOOD FOR THE SOUL

"I signed up for some new recipes and a chance to get back to yoga,

but what I got has literally been life changing for me."

Hi! I'm Pam Gross, a Certified Holistic Health Coach and Certified Yoga Teacher, and I'm just like you... someone trying to live the best life possible. True health isn't just about food, exercise and sticking with the plan. It's about not losing yourself in the flurry of life. It's about making yourself your top priority - always. It's about developing an acute awareness of the senses in your body. It's about feeding your spirit to experience real joy.

Finding this state of authentic wellness inspired me to create my whole-life wellness program and my recipe blog called The Bread & Buddha. Heeding my clients' pleas to just cook for them, The Bread & Buddha Kitchen was born. 

 

As quickly as BBK ramped up, my thriving beautiful organic prepared food business disintegrated before my very eyes due to the pandemic. Heartbroken as I was, this forced reset gave me space to realign and find some much-needed balance in my own life.

Following my true desire to teach people how to live a beautiful and healthful life, I've gone back to my teaching roots and evolved BBK into a virtual cooking studio and wellness workspace. Through my online offerings, you will learn how to fill your fridge and heart with foods that nourish your body and your spirit. Having a front row seat to see my clients' hearts open and smiles widen is a true privilege and a special exchange.

 

My process is relatable, practical, sustainable – and enjoyable. Learn more below and on my Classes page and let your amazing wellness journey begin.

COOKING

FILL YOUR FRIDGE

"In a few short sessions, I cooked more than a week’s worth of healthy, delicious meals. The recipes, tips, yoga and conversations were well-planned and expertly executed. Not a minute was wasted.

Pam is the real deal - practicing what she preaches."

- L.S. on The 5-Day Deep Cleanse

FEED YOUR SPIRIT

"I went in for the food and left with so much more!  This week has made me rethink how I eat, how I take care of myself and how that affects every aspect of my life.  It has given me nuggets of wisdom that will stay with me for the rest of my life! "

- K.F. on The 5-Day Deep Cleanse

Choosing the right foods for you is the first step in achieving whole-life wellness. It's the fuel that propels you. My lifelong mission to heal my migraines had me going raw, vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian, Paleo, Keto, Ketotarian, gluten and dairy free. Instead of getting better, I developed a really messed up relationship with food. When I'd finally had enough, I took matters into my own hands. I became a functional health coach, used my instincts and my own heart as my guides, and got back to feeling human again. My food philosophy is based on functional medicine that says our bodies need essential ingredients to work optimally. Functional medicine focuses on prevention and treats root causes, not symptoms. My life philosophy is based on yoga. Learn more about my training here. My own healing journey inspired me to create Feal Real®, a wellness journey for enjoying an authentic life, and my Heartful-Eating® Plan that is a flexible guide, not a directive. Both will teach you how your unique self needs to be fed to live with a palpable sense of vibrancy and authenticity - yes, even while emptying the dishwasher.

NOURISH YOUR BODY

"Pam, your class was incredible yesterday. I loved every second of it and was the perfect fit for me. Today I feel awesome!  Thank you!!!"

- C.H. on my yoga class

Growing up, my mom played tennis almost every day. She always said "tennis saved her." Yoga is my tennis. Like most, I came to yoga to reap the physical benefits, but became hooked as the practice revealed many life lessons that have allowed me to thoroughly enjoy and experience life off the mat. Nineteen years later, I continue to find solace and inspiration in this special space. 

As a teacher of yoga on the mat, I seek to stay true to the original intention of yoga to create awareness that yoga cares more about the shape of your life than the shape of your body. In group and private sessions, I teach a steady flow that connects the classical intention of the asanas to the physical, mental and spiritual benefits we experience today. 

As a teacher of yoga off the mat, I use my "secret weapon" to make yoga's prominent pillar to follow your heart accessible and relatable.
