Relax and rejuvenate on our spring detox retreat (april 24 - may 1st).
Experience a unique program combining yoga, pranayama, meditation and mantra together with gourmet raw food to give you nutritional inspiration and help you gently detox your body and clear your mind.
Revitalise your spirit at our beautiful retreat centre over looking the valley with its breathtaking views, away from the hectic city life, instead.... the fresh mountain air.
The focus is on a natural lifestyle, with a raw food diet, to help activate the body’s innate healing energies, rejuvenating the body and revitalising the spirit. There will also be lots of time for relaxing by the pool, enjoying a walk in the surrounding mountains or treating yourself to a therapeutic massage. The retreat is suitable for those who already have some body awareness and a reasonable level of fitness, though previous yoga experience is not necessary.
The combination of a raw food diet and yoga can be a very detoxifying experience, so to avoid unpleasant cleansing reactions, we suggest you avoid animal products, alcohol, coffee, tobacco and drugs the week before the retreat. It is not recommended for people anyone taking prescription drugs.
All participants must be covered by their own travel and medical insurance.
programme description
The day will begin with a meditation followed by pranayama. There will be 2 hours of asanas and then a breakfast of fresh, seasonal fruit, juices, smoothies, shakes, or nut milks. After a beautiful raw lunch, there will be time to relax, either lounging by the swimming pool, enjoying a massage or going for a wonderful walk in the nature. In the afternoon, we will have a relaxing yoga session involving a combination of breath work, postures and meditation leading us into a heightened and relaxed state of awareness. We will have a light dinner and some evenings there will be an option to explore the voice with mantras and bayans.
