Join us for our annual Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse and welcome the joy of springtime.
The Annual Spring Cleanse and Fall Rejuvenation retreats are recommended for everyone as the minimum essentials for rebirth and renewal with the coming of spring. Through fasting, pancha karma, massage therapy, and hot yoga, we'll flush the winter toxins out and bring the spring freshness in. Lectures, ayurvedic cooking, yogasana, herb walks, silence, reflection and spiritual practice will supplement our journey together. Purify your body, mind, and life!
