The healthy food store was founded by Roshni Mohan. An Instagram post introducing the person behind the business stated, “As a Yoga teacher, she follows a yogic diet, which consists of foods that aid in the three-stage process of digestion, assimilation & elimination. By providing bodies with natural, organic, and easy-to-digest foods, we can keep our digestion moving smoothly, eliminate stagnation and toxic waste from the body, and in turn boost our immune systems.”
