Detox
Sustaining
the functions that keep us alive and well, our bodies never take breaks or go
on holidays. A detox enables your body
to allocate energy and resources away from your digestive functions and channel
them into the systems that renew, repair, rebuild and rejuvenate your body,
inside and out. It is a transformative
process that involves not only your body, but your mind and emotions as well. The Yoga Retreat provides a calm, open and
supportive place for your transformation.
It is
essential that you enter your detox prepared, and transition out of it in a
smooth and natural way, mentally and physically preparing yourself to be open
to your body and listen to its needs before, throughout and after your
detox. Your own cleansing experience
will be unique, and it is your responsibility to carry the tools and techniques
you've learned home and continue your journey.
Preparing
Yourself for a Detox in Thailand
Phase into
an extended period of rest and transformation by reducing your food intake,
eating simple and raw foods, increasing your consumption of vegetables and
fruits, and removing stimulants and depressants from your diet. Stay away from processed foods, artificial
ingredients and sweet, fatty foods.
Mental
preparation is as important as physical; communicate with others who have gone
through a detox, do research about what you're about to undergo. Don't forget to focus on your own goals and
seek support from your friends and family.
If you stay
at the Yoga Retreat during your detox, your retreat may also include nourishing
foods and drinks to sustain you through all phases of your detox.
