10 Day Signature Ayurvedic Purification Program in Oahu, Hawaii, USA

There are simple ways to know that a purification process is in order:​

• You feel tired. Really tired. Even if you feel like you are getting proper rest.
• Peace feels elusive. Anxiety and overwhelm seem to dominate your internal landscape and peace of mind is fleeting.
• You are in discomfort. Headaches, constipation, joint pain, and indigestion are more frequent.
• You can't seem to lose weight. Or if you do, you struggle to maintain.
• You seriously can't focus. Being productive and accomplishing goals is harder than ever.
• You are getting sick more and more often. Your immune system seems to be struggling to keep you healthy.
• You feel like you are sleepwalking through your life. Somewhere along the way, unhealthy patterns and habits have created barriers to living a fuller, deeper experience of life.

If you recognize some or all of the symptoms, they typically point to one thing: a buildup of toxins. In Ayurveda, this is called ama, and this "sludge" is acquired through diet, habits, and lifestyle. It must be cleared out before you can go back to feeling well and living a balanced and healthy life. The 10-day program is designed to do just that: eliminate toxins and toxic conditions from your body and mind. Restore your constitutional balance, improving health and wellness.

Strengthen your immune system, so you become more resistant to illness. Reverse the negative effects of stress on your body and mind, thereby slowing ageing. The optional three-day add-on builds back vitality. Throughout it all, deep relaxation and a sense of well-being come back to life.

Ayurveda specifically addresses current imbalances (Vikruti), many of which start at the mental level and are stored in the physical body. The first stage is to prepare for treatment by loosening toxins and excess doshas. Undigested toxins that form in the system due to external factors and spread to different parts of the body. Through this preparatory phase, toxins are channelled and collected for easy removal at the second stage. The body then becomes prepared for detoxification and revitalization, which take place in the second and third stages.

Ayurveda does not work at a quick pace; it is the slow and steady application of healthy habits over time. During the ten-day program (and optional three-day add-on), you will receive all you need to be well on your way.

Sample of Daily Schedule

Day 1

Begin program with arrival orientation, settling in, and evening meal.

Day 2-6

The preparatory phase begins as we prepare your body for purification. This will include increasing daily doses of ghee, intake assessments, in-depth Prakrutti analysis, integrative sessions, daily treatments, ayuyoga, breathing, and meditation practices. For many people, this is not a time when they feel great. This is common and normal, as the ama (gunk) is beginning to accumulate. Not to worry, the process is all happening!

Day 7-10

Purification process begins. Specialized treatments and daily integration sessions continue as you begin to meet the "you" before the months or years of accumulated toxins. For many, this becomes an eye-opening part of the process.

Note: All programs are designed to meet your specific needs. The program structure remains consistent, but protocols may vary.
