YOGA AND AYURVEDA DETOX RETREAT

A 7 day retreat to cleanse your body and calm your mind

Why Detox?
With our modern lifestyles we usually put more toxins into our bodies than can be removed. Over time the toxins build up, creating sluggish digestion, a disturbed mind, restlessness and poor health. Even if you feel you are relatively healthy, detoxification is a wonderful preventative measure against ageing and future ill-health.

Our objective is to assist you in:
¨       Losing weight/body fat
¨       Reducing addictions and unwanted habits
¨       Keeping your skin well oxidised and fresh
¨       Increasing resistance to allergies
¨       Helping to cure and prevent disease and sickness
¨       Allowing deep relaxation and rejuvenation
¨       Strengthening will power and concentration

Yoga and relaxation
A balanced yoga practice is known to rejuvenate the body, increase vitality and train the mind to be strong and flexible in the face of stress and change. It balances the glandular system, strengthens the nervous system, and promotes creative potential. For many years now yoga has helped in healing the pain of physical illness, mental pressure, drug and alcohol dependence and other addictive behaviors.

Ayurveda
Literally means "life knowledge". It is a sister discipline to that of yoga and therefore combines beautifully with it. According to your dosha (mind-body type) and a detailed consultation examining your overall state of wellbeing, we will create an individual program for you - determining the best nutrition, yoga practice and massage treatments, as well as other specific suggestions that may arise. 

On a physical level, you will be able to first cleanse, then furnish all the cells and tissues of your body with the elements and the nutritional enzymes they need, thereby increasing physical well-being and helping you to stay slim, healthy and vital.  

On an emotional and spiritual level, Ayurvedic practices are of the oldest, fastest and safest methods for reducing tension and restoring equanimity to the whole system. When accompanied with the right balance of yoga , relaxation and wise guidance they can also be successful at breaking addictions. 

Colon cleansing:
We wish for you to enjoy the full benefits of our Detox program and therefore strongly recommend that you undertake the colon cleansing element of the program. We will provide you with detailed guidance, equipment and support.

Bodily/emotional reactive symptoms are inevitable, as you will be carrying out a powerful process of detoxification. They come in waves, often lasting just a few hours, rarely more than a day, and always changing. We are with you throughout this process, reminding you that this is just a part of the process and that it WILL all pass. It is not uncommon to hear participants "complain" that they experienced no challenging symptoms whatsoever!
