Live is not about finding yourself.
 
    Life is about CREATING yourself
 

Dear Wendy and Garth, the week I spent with you in your piece of PARADISE in the jungle of Honduras is unforgettable.

Wendy you are a great Yoga teacher that truly inspired me and help me make a huge improvement in my practice. Your RAW FOOD creations where out of this world and delicious (coming from a restaurant owner), and the pies........ WOW! My body is expressing infinite joy from this week of complete nurturing.

The incredible EPIC hikes to the waterfalls will remain imprinted in my heart forever.

I want to share with you how much gratitude I feel to have meet you. You are both incredibly beautiful Beings. The space created in the evening to share honestly from the heart was a blessing.

You are an inspiration of healthy living in a harmonious way with the Universe which, in time, all humanity will embrace.

Infinite Gratitude Expressed from the Heart

I have been to Casa Verde four times since 2008 and am planning my next trip now. I am a huge fan of the place and I am about as "city" as can be.

Casa Verde is in a river valley where other "expats" have found the good life, so the infrastructure - quality of the roads and access to Internet if an emergency comes up - is really good.

The reasons I keep going back multiply every time I go. It is mostly and still about the lifestyle stuff - green, clean, chill, and sustainable. The yoga is the best I have ever done. And nothing has ever helped me feel better in my body than eating raw.

I have to say and at the risk of sounding really corny, Casa Verde is in one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Just breathtaking. Birds. Waterfalls. Butterflies.

I remember when I first found the site on the www I had a million questions and it took me a year to figure out I could go. But I did and it is amazing!

WOW, I don't know what to say. Casa Verde is just amazing, totally beyond what we expected. From your warm hospitality to your beautiful property, yummy food and extremely energizing yoga!!

What you have here Wendy is heaven on earth. Thanks so much for sharing it with us and opening our eyes to so much more in life!

It only took me a couple of days to find my balance back, the one I lost somewhere on the 41st floor of the Empire State Building , the NYC subway lines and many meetings. My urban yogi essence was evaporating and coming to see you have been the best thing I have done this year. Your joy, love, generosity, smile, talent and both your yoga and raw food made you the BEST host! I am back on track and will take my restored balance with me. THANK YOU!

Casa Verde is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. The air, water, yoga practice, meals and space were just lovely. I am making plans to go again soon. My favorite past time: sitting on a big rock next to the river and inhaling and exhaling to the count of five. My fondest memory, clear, bright and honest conversations with Wendy.

Casa Verde is possibly the most life-affirming place I have ever visited. The situation, perched overlooking the Rio Cangrejal and the jungle never failed to both thrill and calm me. Sitting on the rocks doing pranayama was energizing, exhilarating and yet deeply meditative. The yoga was challenging, but wonderful. And the food was simply delicious; the zucchini linguini and walnut sushi are without a doubt my new favorite things!

I came away smiling with every cell in my body, my mind chimed with clarity and my body felt more supple, rested, cleansed and happy than it has in a long time. Thank you, thank you, thank you Wendy, you are a wonderful host, and I WILL be back!

All I can say is WOW, what an awesome, amazing place! We had such a wonderful time - your guesthouse is lovely, the property is spectacular, the river and forest are breathtaking and the food is phenomenal... I came home absolutely vibrating with energy, lightness and brightness from the air and food and yoga practice.

No worries about Wendy Green... she is the real deal and more. The raw food changed my life. If you are committed to following the plan you will be amazed. I feel lighter, brighter, healthier and clearer than ever. The word I use most often is "charged" - happy, energetic, and alive. What I've gained is incredible knowledge about food, health and wellness -- I now know what to eat and do to make my body, mind and spirit sing with vibrant joy.

Thank you, Wendy, for a lifestyle changing experience. I rediscovered a love of nature and have come home refreshed, renewed and relaxed to my core. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of us.

How do I sum up my week at Casa Verde? I arrived feeling middle aged and depleted, I leave feeling like a child so full of joy, I must exhale or burst!

In my week here, I have played like an otter in the pool of a waterfall so beautiful and pristine, words would fall short to describe it.

I have been up close and personal with species of birds; butterflies, and yes occasionally insects; that were so beautiful they would stun me into stillness.

I have been taught to breath deeper in order to take it all in.

For me everything about Casa Verde is a reflection of its owner, Wendy Green. Lovely and chic, but never fussy accommodations on naturally beautiful grounds, next to a flowing river below some of the boldest peaks in Central America.

What a wonderful gift this week has been.

Hi Wendy,

I had tons of fun with you. You are a wonderful host, in a beautiful laid-back setting and the fact that you offer ashtanga yoga and healthy all natural food creates such a balance and an experience not to be missed. For a person looking to just get away, it is a great spot tucked away in the jungle. For somebody looking for something a little deeper, it's a great spot tucked away in the jungle that offers the perfect backdrop for self-discovery and spiritual growth. I would love to return with my girlfriends or my Mother. Thanks again!

I had a wonderful time in Casa Verde. It was just what I needed. And I came back refreshed, renewed and with stories to tell!!!

The 8 days that Laurie and I spent with you at Casa Verde were delightful and challenging. Eating raw, eating less, and feeling very satisfied, even with practicing yoga 6 of the days and taking the ever more beautiful hikes in the hills and mountains around Pico Bonito, to say nothing of the river adventure we had. I would not have missed it and encourage anyone looking to get back in tune with mother earth, your own circadian rhythm and expanding your Yoga practice to visit Casa Verde.

Your house and Casa Mango are very comfortable. The work that you and your staff have done is simple and beautiful.

Having the Toucans stop by for breakfast in the water apple tree outside the cottage was wonderful. The never tiring Oropendolas non-stop nest building was amazing to watch, too. Nature Rocks.

Going to Casa Verde is one of the best things I've ever done for myself! It is a mystical place with a gorgeous river and beautiful house. Everything from my room, the food, the river, to the outside shower is absolutely enchanting! If elves and fairies exist you will find them here! I fell in love with Ashtanga yoga and the living foods diet and am going to make them a part of my life now. With Wendy's warm hospitality, this was a perfect retreat and I feel more alive because of it.

Hi Wendy,

I thought you would like to know how I made out at my annual physical Wednesday. The healing has begun! My blood pressure was excellent at 120 over 80, my cholesterol went from 228 - 6 months ago to 168!!! My doctor was very pleased to hear about my practice of Yoga and especially the raw food program. Thank you for all your inspiration and guidance.

Hi Wendy,

After I leave your practice, I feel more and more comfortable and confident... You continue to be a wonderful and beautiful teacher and I am forever grateful.

Namaste,

Wendy,

I am going to be leaving to live in Hawaii tomorrow. I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me and the world. I remember one of my first classes I had with you and you said you followed a raw foods diet. I was amazed, that one phrase alone has changed my life more than I could have ever dreamed in such a short period of time. I think you are the best teacher around, so committed, it is really a wonderful thing that you can bring such a beautiful practice to an area that really needs it. I am forever grateful to you and I wish you all the best. I could not be where I am now if you were not there to support me, Thank you!!

Namaste,

Scott
