Why do a detox?
Often, we only think about our health when something goes wrong. But what if we took time regularly to care for ourselves—before any issues arise? That’s exactly what our Yoga Detox programs are designed for: it offers you a unique opportunity to reconnect with your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive. Through simple yet powerful daily practices—like proper hydration, an alkalizing diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, gentle fasting, movement, meditation, and deep rest—you’ll explore a holistic approach to well-being that supports long-term health and vitality.

Porquê desintoxicar o organismo?
Muitas vezes só pensamos na nossa saúde quando algo não está bem… E, se, em vez disso, tirássemos tempo regularmente para cuidar de nós — antes de surgirem problemas? É exatamente para isso que servem os nossos programas de Yoga Detox: uma oportunidade única de reconectar com a capacidade natural do corpo de se curar e rejuvenescer. Através de práticas simples mas poderosas — com boa hidratação como base, uma alimentação alcalina rica em frutas e legumes frescos, jejum suave, movimento, meditação e descanso profundo — vais explorar uma abordagem holística ao bem-estar que promove uma saúde duradoura e vitalidade.
Sobre o Programa
Data: 16 a 18 de Outubro
Programa: Aulas de yoga, tratamentos naturais (compressas de lama e banhos de vapor), palestras, workshop de culinária, meditação guiada, natureza e rio, e tempo para reflexão pessoal
Comida: Jejum à base de sumos e caldos (com opções de jejum gradual com fruta, saladas ou sopas de legumes, conforme necessário)
Localização: Ananda Kalyani, Centro de Portugal
