12 Days Refresh and Reload, Yoga Retreat in Bali with self-awareness games

Your body tries to renew all your cells every hour, but when the energy starts flowing slower, the process of rejuvenation becomes slower as well. The same happens with your mind: when there are too much thoughts and worries, you can’t start thinking in different way. your body and your mind need to be refreshed and reloaded!

The main retreats program is a combination of traveling, yoga, self-awareness practices, and of course SPA. All of these tools will help you to tune into your feelings, thoughts and actions.

The best retreats in Bali – Detox & Weight Loss

3 Night Detox Cleanse Retreat in Seminyak

This four day detox cleanse retreat is a 4 times daily liquid based program detoxification protocol. It is designed to help you to lose weight, reduce stress, clear up the skin, digestive problems, and significantly boost energy levels.

With the start of every season, you have to get rid of all the toxins in your body, allowing your body to return to its natural state. Even those who lead healthy life will benefit from a seasonal cleanse, but people with habits that are not so supportive of their health are the ones who have a greater need for cleansing.

Colonics are also important because they speed up the detoxification process. The toxic waste from all of the organs ends up in your colon.

Before you start the retreat, you’ll have one hour private consultation with a certified nutritionist to determine your body’s need before prescribing the protocols. Once we have received the results we will create and adjust your liquid based detox protocols menu. You will be advised to reduce the level of toxins you put into the body through bad diet and lifestyle.

After check in, there will be no alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars, and saturated fats, all of which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to your healing process. Be consisted and determined during this executed protocols period. Your solid food will be replaced with cold press juices. Book here.

5 Day Rejuvenation & Yoga Retreat at Adiwana Resort

Treat yourself to more than just pampering and spa experiences at the boutique wellness hotel, Adiwana Jembawan. This five day retreat starts with a hatha yoga class, pranayama and meditation. During the program your meals and spa treatment will be based on your wellness consultation result with the Ayurvedic Practitioner used to diagnose your Dosha.

Rejuvenation is often defined as the reversal of the ageing process. This contrasts with ‘life extension’ strategies that attempt to combat the causes of ageing in order to slow it down. Because rejuvenation is the reversal of ageing, the means employed to achieve it focus on repairing the damage caused by ageing and replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue.

While rejuvenation is one means to achieve extension of life, rejuvenation itself fundamentally affects a person by restoring aspects of youthfulness from the inside out. This retreat program is designed to reverse biological ageing and focuses on the quality of life instead of the mere prolongation of it. It is about enhancing your experience of life itself.

You can also customise your own retreat package based on your personal needs both as an individual or part of a group. Book here.
