Detox Retreat Daily Program

As the sun streams through your window, you awake to the gentle ringing of Tibetan bells, heralding the morning yoga class. With warm lemon-ginger tea in hand, you join your fellow guests in the yoga studio. A gentle yet invigorating yoga session is about to begin.

After yoga, it's time for breakfast: a combination of organic fruit and vegetable juice for a super vitamin boost, with a spoonful of psyllium husks to make you feel full and some powdered bentonite clay to draw out toxins. The tasty juices are designed to satisfy the palate and nourish the body. We encourage you to make juicing for health and pleasure part of your daily life.

On your first day you will have an in-depth consultation with our Homeopath. Later on in the week our Nutritional Health therapist will discuss your dietary habits and recommend changes that will allow you to maintain a healthy lifestyle after the retreat ends.

Mid-morning is the optimum time for your first colon cleanse. The cleansing unit is simple and easy to use in the privacy of your bathroom, combining warm mineral water and a soothing herbal additive to gently hydrate and rinse your colon.

Early afternoon - another juice meal and your second colonic cleanse (optional).

As the day unfolds, there is plenty of time for you to book a therapy session - massage, acupuncture, reflexology, lymphatic drainage, facial cleansing. And you'll make time to immerse yourself in the outdoor Jacuzzi, or take a sauna to aid the detox process. Later on you might feel like curling up in a hammock under an olive tree for a siesta snooze, or browse the library for an educational tome about yoga, raw food etc. For the more active, a horseback ride in the mountains could help you to contemplate your next life step. There is a splendid 45 min country walk through aromatic wild herbs and olive groves - cleanse your lungs with the cleanest air in Europe (ref. Unesco).

Late afternoon - a restorative yoga session with guided silent meditation.

Evening - we gather for an electrolyte broth made from organic vegetables. It warms the body, provides all the minerals you need and keeps you feeling full through the night. There are informative talks about holistic health, a log fire on cold nights, music, dancing, games, chit chat and herbal hot drinks. It's time for bed whenever you're ready.
