The juice detox concept was shaped by the pioneering work of Bernard Jensen, Swami Sivananda, and Dr. Gerson in cleansing and detoxification, and later inspired by the healing power of yoga, meditation, fasting, and alternative therapies. Today, the programme also reflects the latest research to offer the best possible experience.

Since 1992, this comprehensive body, mind, and spirit programme has been among the first of its kind. Over the years, it has grown through invaluable experience and knowledge, supporting guests from all over the world.

Each part of the retreat is designed to encourage physical, mental, and emotional detoxification and purification, making it suitable for anyone looking to improve their wellbeing at any level. It also appeals to those who want to deepen their understanding of natural health practices and learn how to live in a more abundant, positive way — bringing that awareness back into everyday life.

Group connection is an important part of the experience, with four daily meetings for juices and broth, plus group classes and workshops.

Detoxing And Yoga

The yoga classes are open to everyone, whether you are new to yoga or an experienced practitioner. Skilled teachers guide each session in a way that feels both restorative and supportive of your detox.

Yoga is central to the programme because gentle movement, stretching, twisting, and deep breathing work together to support the detox process for body, mind, and spirit. As the lymph and blood carry released toxins through the body more efficiently, elimination is encouraged.

Yoga relaxation also activates the restorative parasympathetic nervous system, giving the body space to cleanse and heal itself. And the deeper the detox, the more powerful the yoga experience becomes.

Exercise, Meditation and Relaxation

Evening workshops may include movement sessions, a fire ceremony inspired by the Sivananda tradition, and more traditional meditation practices.

These sessions further support detoxification by helping release blockages and tension held on physical, mental, and emotional levels. They encourage deeper relaxation and a greater sense of ease.

During the day, guests can unwind, swim, enjoy a therapy session, explore the surroundings, walk in the area, or help in the organic gardens. Once a week, there is also a trip to one of the beautiful nearby beaches.

A selection of videos, DVDs, and related films is available to watch. The sauna runs in the early evening, and the hot tub is available throughout the day.

Therapies

A range of therapies is available to support toxin elimination and balance the whole system. The sauna also assists cleansing through the skin. Treatments include:
