Winter's Wisdom, Your Renewal

We warmly welcome everyone, from those just starting their journey with yoga and Ayurveda to seasoned yoga instructors and practitioners. We are here to guide you gently into a deeper connection with your intuition, your body, and even your culinary space.

After enjoying the pre-cleanse call, we encourage you to ease into the detoxification process by gradually removing certain foods and activities from your diet and lifestyle the first week.

The cleanse itself is 10 days, but your experience of it and the depth varies person to person and even cleanse to cleanse. If you are able to prepare yourself mentally to be in cleansing mode for 10 days and have a gentle buffer zone the week before and after those 10 days to ease your body in and out of the detoxification process, that would be ideal!

Your supply list will be provided within your course hub upon purchase of the cleanse. These supplies are hand picked by our practitioner to help pacify accumulated vata dosha and rejuvenate you. We also suggest printing and trying out the recipe packets during the pre-cleanse phase. This way, you'll be well-acquainted with the foods and ingredients when the cleanse officially begins.

Many individuals find that they save money during the cleanse, as the cost of whole foods is typically lower than that of pre-packaged foods and eating or drinking out. Many items on the shopping list can also be saved for your next seasonal cleanse.  That being said, we’ve created a particular shopping list with alternatives listed for anyone that is on a budget. 

Certainly! We understand that with today's busy schedules, it might be challenging to join the cleanse on the scheduled live dates. To make it easier for you, all discussions and lectures are recorded and accessible online at your convenience. We encourage you to join the live calls whenever possible to connect with the group's energy, which can inspire everyone to reach their fullest potential. We will also continue to check the community forum a few times a day the week after the official cleanse ends for anyone who started later for any reason. 

In an ideal world, we would all have the opportunity to retreat and fully rejuvenate, leaving behind our daily responsibilities, however we recognize that many of us will continue working and have family commitments. Although it varies person to person and cleanse to cleanse, the days we tend to experience more fatigue and/or symptoms of detoxification are during the official 10 day cleanse, which begins the second week (as the first week is preparation).  Day 3 through Day 7 of the official cleanse would be ideal to have blocked off in your schedule Day 6 and 7 fall on a weekend by design, and Day 5 is technically a rest day as well.

During this traditional Ayurvedic cleanse, starting Day 1 we want to allow the flow of energy in the body to be going in and down, which is the path we want the toxins to follow. The more we exercise and engage our cardiovascular system, the more energy flows out to the periphery. For this reason, we encourage only gentle yoga practices

Yes, upon registration, you will be sent links to book 1:1 consults with either Alex Rice or Suzanne Martin. They can consult with you about Ayurveda, Spirituality, or Yoga.

Please do! It's important to continue your medication unless your doctor advises otherwise. Embracing a proactive and potentially transformative approach to your health, while adhering to your prescribed medication and cleansing routine, can be incredibly empowering.

There are numerous benefits! Cleansers often experience increased energy, improved sleep, reduced stress, and lifelong self-care habits, among others. Many of our previous Refresh Cleanse clients have shared that they have been told they look younger. Most importantly they report that they have gained a deeper understanding of how to nurture and heal their bodies, which they can then pass on to their families and loved ones. These are invaluable skills that will serve them throughout their lives. These essential practices are rooted in the traditional Ayurvedic routine, or dinacharya. During the cleanse, we dedicate time to learning these practices, allowing them to seamlessly integrate into daily life.

Because of the amazing work your body is doing pre or post partum and/or in the process of breastfeeding, it is best advised not to do a traditional Ayurvedic cleanse. Pre-conception or after you’ve finished breastfeeding would be optimal times to consider a cleanse. That being said, if you wish to follow only the pre-cleanse dietary guidelines (no herbs) and hone in on the diet and lifestyle of whole foods, mindful eating, prioritizing rest and self care, that could be incredibly beneficial, and then you would know how to do a deeper cleanse in the future. 

Yes and please don't let that discourage you. We guide you in how to gently wean off to limit the effects of caffeine withdrawal. During the cleanse, you'll likely experience a boost in natural energy while giving your adrenal glands and kidneys a chance to rest and rejuvenate. Many people find that cleansing significantly reduces or even eliminates their cravings for caffeine. It often fosters a newfound appreciation for the body's remarkable ability to generate its own natural energy without any side effects or dependence on stimulants. It's uncommon for individuals to return to their previous caffeine habits after completing a cleanse.

You can cancel anytime before the start of the cleanse with a 35% administrative fee subtracted from your refund.
