‘Detoxify Your Life’ Retreat

Dates: Open all year

Detoxing isn’t only about what you don’t eat and drink but about what you do put into your body. Eating a delicious, wholesome, nutritious and organic diet every day is way more beneficial to your health than depriving yourself of calories for a few days once a year in the hope that it will undo all the harm from the bad habits of the previous 12 months!

On your personal ‘Detoxify Your Life’ retreat’ you’ll be guided to make the powerful, lifelong nutritional and lifestyle changes you need to boost your health, increase your energy, create and live the life you love!

When we think of detox, many of us picture a juice diet with some awful tasting concoctions designed to help you purge, along with some uncomfortable bowel cleansing treatments and a gruelling exercise programme. These may eventually leave you feeling cleansed but only after days of suffering and feeling exhausted. The good news is…

Detoxing doesn’t have to be like that at all, it can be a fun process, especially when you look at it as part of a long-term lifestyle change.

Let’s face it, the detox-retox cycle is not a healthy approach to your wellbeing. It’s our belief, that it’s better to make gradual, lasting, positive changes than to go for the quick fixes that leave you craving junk food, alcohol and other toxins as soon as you’ve finished the programme!

Each one of us is individual and unique in terms of our detox needs. There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. While juice fasting might be suitable for some constitutions it isn’t suitable for all. That’s why we prepare a personalised detox programme for you based on your unique Ayurvedic constitution. We adapt your programme daily throughout your retreat to make sure that it’s truly supporting your detox personal detox process.
