This is an exclusive and highly personalised retreat led by experienced therapists, in luxury accommodation for a maximum of 10 guests. The cleanse is based on ancient Ayurvedic health principals to restore energy and vitality and bring the body and mind back into it’s natural state of balance.
Expect to leave feeling completely restored and empowered to maintain your lifestyle adjustments to honour your healthiest and happiest you right through the festive season.
The retreat includes, guidance in juicing for yourself, an in depth consultation a week or two in advance of the retreat, and a detox goody pack to support you in cleansing after you get home, whenever you feel the need.

A TYPICAL DAY
We start the day with some gentle ayurvedic cleansing practices followed by yoga and breath work (suitable for all levels). As the day unfolds we encourage our body to cleanse using the gifts of mother nature. These include freshly made, organic, juices (personalised for your dosha) cleansing drinks, warming broths and herbal supplements to support the bodies' journey.
There will be time for plenty of R&R in the beautiful spa area (heated pool and sauna), attend a workshop, take a walk in nature or simply get cosy by the fire with a good book.
The day will conclude with a warming broth followed by meditation, restorative yoga or a therapeutic sound bath.

THE YOGA
Each day we will be honouring the elements and dedicating the yoga to a particular dosha (Ayurvedic system for determining your unique constitution). By gaining an understanding of each dosha in this way, through a thought provoking practice you will gain valuable and useful insights into self care and a deeper understanding of both yourself and your loved ones. Each carefully prepared session will include asana, pranayama, visualisations and meditation to support the cleansing process, increase the digestive fire and facilitate a deeper level of rejuvenation. Props such as bolsters, blocks and belts will be used (and provided for you) when needed, along with soothing massage and aromatherapy to allow the body and mind to release and let go. The morning and/or evening sessions will be 1-2 hours in length and will be suitable for everyone, even if you are very new to yoga.

At times, Corfu may have a rain shower: we will move our practice indoors if this is the case.
