It is also considered a natural time to reset the body, detoxify and rebuild. Join us for an Ayurvedic journey of self-care that will set you up to be your most healthy and productive self. Included in the course will be theory and overview of all steps and components of the full cleanse. We will incorporate proper diet regimens, the use of key herbal supplements and teas, as well as instruction in simple yoga postures. meditation and self-massage are to be incorporated throughout the cleanse.

There will be two stages to the program. The first stage is a 4-day seasonal reset which includes a modified diet and supportive daily regimens. The second stage will be a full 7 day Ayurvedic cleanse utilizing herbs, a special diet and continued daily regimens.
