More often than not these days our bodies are temples of toxins.

Processed foods, carbonated drinks, stress, western medicine drugs..the list goes on.

And dependent on our lifestyle ... coffee, alcohol and maybe even smoking.

All these can compound and cause other problems.

Lack of sleep, poor sleep, digestion problems, fatigue, getting sick easily.

Very few of us live balanced lives in body and mind. That's not an easy task in this day and age.

So even without issues like the above we all benefit from the opportunity of a detox retreat to hit that reset button once in a while.

Combining yoga and detox on a retreat can give us just the fresh mind set we are looking for.

There are different approaches open to you for a Detox Holiday.

The way to describe them would be that some are lighter and easier on the system.

Others can be more demanding in the detox program and what is required.

Here's the breakdown

1. Eating well and small ... vegan and raw food cleanse retreats, with vegetable and fruit.

2. Juice fast cleansing where the only consumption is fresh vegetable & fruit juices and water(plus the odd coconut)

3. Water detox cleansing where the only consumption is water, the odd wheatgrass shot and a vegetable juice or two a day.

- Fatigue

- Irregular and poor toilet

- Skin problems & Allergies

- Stress

- Digestion & Gut Issues like Candida

- Food elimination like Sugar & Coffee

The reasons do not stop here though.

It is said everybody should enjoy a detox program once a year.

It brings us into realignment and breaks bad patterns if we have them.

Life is stressful enough. The body and mind benefit from a little rest once in a while.

Detox can be a time of reflection and introspection.

With our bodies coming to a stop, emotions come up and offer the opportunity for healing.

No is the short answer. A detox usually includes plant-based nutrient pills and fibre drinks at regular intervals throughout each day.

These keep you full up, as does drinking as much water as your body needs.

If you juice cleanse then you consume maybe two or three vegetable or fruit juices a day plus a coconut.

This is enough to keep you going once your body is fasting.

Yes. We only represent trusted centers who provide support & consultation to their guests.

You are never alone on a detox. And all the people on the detox retreat at the same time tend to create friendly groups.

Of course weight loss comes with not eating much or anything at all.

A rule of thumb is that you will lose half a kilo a day.

But be careful afterwards, a careful reintroduction of food groups allows the body to keep the weight loss.

In the case of juice cleansing you need to alter the number and type of juices you have to match your weight goals.

Fruit juices have a lot of sugar in them compared to vegetable juices, as do coconuts compared to water.

The retreat center will advise you on further details.
