6 Day Juice Fasting and Yoga Retreat at Brock Cottage, Oxfordshire

Facilities

Many people subject their bodies to harmful lifestyles and diets that inhibit the body's ability to cleanse and heal. Eating a poor diet of processed foods clogs up the digestive system with waste materials and prevents our bodies from absorbing vital nutrients, which can lead to health problems over time.

Fasting allows an incredibly effective cleansing process to take place in the body that reaches down to each and every cell and tissue. All your organs receive a well-deserved rest and a much-needed clear out. After 24 hours of not eating, the energy used for digestion is redirected towards clearing out waste matter, dead and damaged cells, gas, microbes, parasites, and other toxins from your system.

Without the chemical interference of stimulants like caffeine, nicotine, sugar, and alcohol, your body is able to find a better natural balance. A professional nutritional adviser will support you throughout the fasting process and optional one-to-one nutritional consultations will also be available for anyone wanting to go into more depth regarding their personal health story.

Twice daily yoga is complemented by fun and informative classes on nutrition and healthy eating, sustainable living, meditation, and happiness. (Fasting is not safe for people who are very underweight, clinically obese, pregnant, diabetic, suffering from kidney disease, or certain cancers. Please contact Jiva Healing if you have any concerns about your health that you would like to discuss further before arrival).
