More about the Retreat

Many people subject their bodies to harmful lifestyles and diets that inhibit the body's ability to cleanse and heal. Eating a poor diet of processed foods clogs up the digestive system with waste materials and prevents our bodies from absorbing vital nutrients, which can lead to health problems over time. Fasting allows an incredibly effective cleansing process to take place in the body that reaches down to each and every cell and tissue. All your organs receive a well-deserved rest and a much-needed clear out. After 24 hours of not eating, the energy used for digestion is redirected towards clearing out waste matter, dead and damaged cells, gas, microbes, parasites and other toxins from your system. Without the chemical interference of stimulants like caffeine, nicotine, sugar and alcohol, your body is able to find a better natural balance.

A professional nutritional adviser will support you throughout the fasting process and optional one-to-one nutritional consultations will also be available for anyone wanting to go into more depth regarding their personal health story. During the fast you will consume organic fruit and vegetable juices, barley grass, vegetable broth and mineral supplements to provide you with the nutrients you need to nurture your body, as well as detoxifying herbs that will aid in the cleansing process. Psyllium husks will provide cleansing bulk and help stave off physical hunger. Self-administered organic coffee enemas are done once daily to help the body to eliminate toxins. Twice daily yoga are complemented by fun and informative classes on nutrition and healthy eating, sustainable living, meditation and happiness. (Fasting is not safe for people who are very underweight, clinically obese, pregnant, diabetic, suffering from kidney disease or certain cancers. Please contact us if you have any concerns about your health that you would like to discuss further before arrival).

More About our Yoga Teacher, Uma Vijaya

Uma believes in Yoga as a way of life that allows for meaningful transformation. She sees that through Yogic practices one can bridge deeper levels of consciousness, empowering one’s own healing and clarity of perception. She has experienced this through her own practice and while working with other people. With her teaching method, you can start practicing Yoga wherever you are, whoever you are! Uma hs an accredited Yoga Therapy Diploma (C-IAYT), over 800 Hours of Yoga Therapy training, over 600 Hours of Yoga Teacher training, and ten years of daily practice, six years spent studying in India. I believe that we all have a deep capacity to heal and transform not only ourselves, but the collective. No matter where, who, how you are or how far away ‘Yoga’ as a concept may feel, the potential is immense and with the right guidance and sustained effort, anyone can deepen their capacity for joy, presence and wellness in body, mind and spirit. On the retreats Uma will also be offering traditional Ayurvedic Massage (Abhyanga), Ayurvedic Yoga Massage, Thai Yoga Massage and an intuitive blend of them all.
