Refresh and Renew Yourself Physically, Mentally and Spiritually

2 Nights, 3 Days: Weekend Yoga Detox

With a relaxed program including daily practice of yoga and meditation and drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juice make a new start on your journey towards health and wellbeing. 

At this retreat we use fresh juice and Triphala, an Ayurvedic herbal detox tonic for a complete body cleanse. By putting your body and mind in a soothing environment away from the stress of everyday life, drinking nourishing and cleansing juices and practicing yoga and meditation you allow yourself to detox, relax and heal. 

The Benefits of Raw Juices
Raw fruits and vegetables are nutritional powerhouses which detox your body and help make you healthy and strong inside and out. One glass of fresh fruit and vegetable juice gives more nutrients than many people get in two or three days!! 

A few ways that raw juice works its magic…

The vitamins and minerals in the juice help to fuel the body during cleansing and the naturally alkaline pH level of most fruit and veg helps to rebalance the pH of the body. Common foods like red meat, sugar and grain increase acidity in the body and excess acidity leads to a wide range of health problems which can be counteracted easily with a juice detox.

• Raw fruit and vegetable juices contain an abundance of living enzymes which help promote a healthy internal system. These enzymes help the body break down food and have many health promoting properties. Health on the inside creates health on the outside!!

• Raw juice contains an abundance of elements essential for healthy bodily function:
o Anti-oxidants
o Vitamins
o Minerals
o Enzymes
o And much more

• Raw fruit and vegetable juice has anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that inflammation plays a huge part in many of our western diseases and ailments.

Why Raw?
When undertaking a detox juice fast it is essential that the majority of juice consumed be in its raw state. When heated to high temperature, enzymes are de-activated and vitamin content reduced. Giving the body the maximum amount of enzymes, vitamins and minerals possible, allows it to detox fully and heal effectively. 

What is Triphala?
Literally meaning “three fruits”, the powdered form of Triphala is a balanced mix of three fruits with powerful healing properties: Indian Gooseberry, Chebulic Myrobalan and Belleric Myrobalan . 

Indian gooseberry (emblica officinalis) or Amla, is considered one of the best rejuvenating herbs in Ayurveda. It’s a strong natural antioxidant containing 20 times more vitamin C than orange juice. In India, Amla is known as the “nurse herb” because it strengthens the immune system and cools the body, balancing the Pitta dosha.

Chebulic Myrobalan (terminalia chebula) or Haritaki, has the strongest laxative powers of the three fruits contained in triphala. In Tibet haritaki is so highly revered that in their sacred paintings it’s often depicted in the extended palm of the medicine Buddha. The herb also has astringent properties and balances Vata.

Belleric Myrobalan (terminalia belerica) or Bibhitaki is an excellent rejuvenative with both laxative and astringent properties. It eliminates excess mucous in the body, balancing the Kapha dosha. In addition, Bibhitaki is a powerful treatment for a variety of lung conditions, including bronchitis and asthma.
