Cleanse & Detox

In addition to a daily practice of postures (asana) you will also learn traditional yogic cleansing techniques (kriya) such as Kunjal and Neti. These are POWERFUL detox techniques that cleanse the physical body of years of accumulated toxins.

In addition, they address mental and spiritual toxicity resultant of years of 'dirty' living. The result is more openess, more energy, more clarity, more focus = better health and happiness!

5 Day Fast

We will also observe a 5 day water fast during which we will use intestinal cleansers to remove toxic plaques and mucoidal waste.

This technique thoroughly cleans your intestines, ridding your blood, tissues and organs of accumulated toxins and thereby reducing disease risk and vastly improving energy and vitality.

Yogic Living

On these Ashtanga Yoga Retreats, the emphasis is on developing yoga as a way of being rather than yoga as a form of exercise. Daily asana and kriya are combined with meditation, massage and yogic eating - good wholesome veggie food. Your afternoons are free to relax and explore this unbelievably beautiful and entirely natural location.
