Why Yoga & Detox?

We commonly improve our health by curing our ailments, focusing on what is wrong and treating the symptoms. In our programs, however, we develop good health by creating an environment where problems and imbalances can not thrive.

Together we create a higher frequency of being, where good health comes naturally. This is the power of our holistic rejuvenation system, which is the result of combining juice fast, yoga therapy, energy foods and meditation.

Our 10-day program will give your digestive system a well-deserved vacation. You will release energy to heal, you will feel more vital and nutritionally satisfied thanks to the vitamins, minerals, enzymes and healing phytonutrients of the juices we’ll prepare. This comprehensive program will teach you simple and effective techniques to take charge of your own health and transform your life!

Those who want to eliminate toxins from their body and adopt good habits permanently.
People who are trying to improve their health situation, whether physical or mental.

Any person, of any age, who is interested in learning how to mindfully take care of her body, for a better and prolonged life.

Covid 19

As we all know, there is a Covid-19 virus infecting the population and many people have died. Whether the situation is better or worse than what the media informs us, we consider that being with many people may increase the possibility of getting infected or transmitting the virus to others.

Whether or not you will be affected depends on your immune system. Most people have no or few symptoms, but some people have severe symptoms and some even die from it. So please consider carefully your participation in this program, you are responsible for your health condition and situation and not only yours but also others.

For example, if you know you have Covid or have been in contact with people in the last 10 days who were infected that time please wait for a future event before attending. Also if you consider yourself in a risk group, live or work with people in a risk group, it will probably also be better to wait for a next event. Again you have a responsibility both for you own health and the collective welfare.

This program is open for everyone, vaccinated or not. If you like to wear a face-mask or not is also your choice, but for your information, most people who come decide not to wear it. Being vaccinated may protect you to a certain extend though at the same time it may not prevent others getting infected through you.

Washing hands, covering your mouth when sneezing (in your elbow), not hugging or kissing to greet each other (we have our beautiful “Namaskar” for that!) reduces the likelihood contracting or passing on many diseases.

Given our previous experience organizing programs during the last three years, we consider that the risk is low and we are happy to welcome you all. Still the decision and responsibility is yours.
