Rudi and the Green Apple
Faith Stone has been studying yoga and meditation for over  25 years. She has lived in an ashram (community of yogis) since  meeting Rudi, her spiritual teacher. She first practiced and then  taught yoga and meditation to countless people who have passed through  the ashram doors. She is the co-director of Shoshoni Retreat and  Eldorado Mountain Yoga Ashram along with her yogi-husband,  Shambhavananda. She is the co-author of the Shoshoni Cookbook. For 18  years, in order to support the ashram, she was the chef-owner of  Rudi’s Restaurant, a very successful vegetarian and natural foods  eatery in Boulder, Colorado. Rudi’s is still going strong under new  owners. She won the Governor’s award for excellence in culinary  arts using native Colorado ingredients. She taught vegetarian and  natural foods cooking classes to thousands of people throughout the  state. Before owning the restaurant, Faith was an artist and returned  to that venue in the form of traditional Tibetan thangka painting. Her  thangkas are held in private collections, monasteries, and temples in  the US and India.Faith is a mom, one of her greatest joys, and has authored numerous  articles on cooking, yoga, and parenting from a yogic perspective for  national and local publications. She sings and plays ukulele.
