In a few words
Give your body a true restorative break by combining the benefits of fasting with the gentleness of Hatha Yoga . This immersion is based on completely resting the digestive system, supported by appropriate hydration with water, fresh juices , vegetable broths , and herbal teas. This natural detoxification process allows your body to draw on its reserves for deep purification.
The experience revolves around gentle yoga , walking , and mindful breathing exercises—all light activities perfect for stimulating toxin elimination. To ensure a smooth and peaceful experience, the retreat is structured in three key stages : the pre-food phase , the fast , and the gradual refeeding .
