Spring Detox Retreat
October 16th - 19th' 2020
Everywhere we turn, there is a growing awareness of the issues of a toxic world and a desire to embrace a healthier lifestyle. There is a real yearning for clarity and purity, and it can be seen in our desire for clean homes and minimalist designs, as well as embracing mind-body disciplines like Yoga and Meditation. This brought us to offer a Detox Retreat with the purpose to demystify the myth of a Detox Program.
From our perspective: Detox should not be confused for a weight-loss diet, although you can experience loss of excess weight. Detoxification is not something that can be done during a weekend or a 7-day program. Detoxification is an every day endeavor of our natural body-system through our skin, lungs, kidneys and liver.
The ultimate lifestyle 'detox' is removing unhealthy habits, exercising and enjoying a healthy diet that involves a variety of tastes: astringent, bitter, pungent, sour, salty and sweet. A 'clean' eating plan of whole, unprocessed foods and herbs can assist the natural process of detoxification.
Our weekend involves providing the tools to support your day-to-day by immersing yourself in a positive environment, detox your mind, hydrate, resting and renewing your ability to maintain optimum health.

The schedule is designed to include two yoga classes a day, apart from Friday which will only include one yoga class after your arrival. Morning classes are intended to be with more movement to start that day and warm up, in this retreat we will focus on Gentle and De-stressing practices. The evening classes are a restorative style to prepare us for a good night sleep. We specialize on Traditional Hatha and Restorative styles. Beginners to yoga will get an introduction to yoga postures, breathing practices and relaxation techniques, while the more experienced will be guided in how to deepen their practice.

The workshops in this retreat are focused on Detoxing program which includes both body and mind. We will provide the information of why detoxing is beneficial to: reduce cravings, reset taste buds, detox the lymphatic system, and make you feel inspired and excited about life and how to live more vibrantly.
On Saturday we will have a special workshop with Kelly Phillips from "A Bountiful Life" that will provide more indepth understanding of the daily techniques we can integrate to support our detox process.

Walking trails:
Sanctuary Hill is surrounded by the lush greenery of the Taranaki region. During this Retreat you can walk around the property to enjoy the views of Mt. Taranaki, listen to the birds of the region, walk through the orchard and visit the different areas around our property. If you are feeling more invited to rest back and enjoy the view, you can relax in our various outdoor areas to bask in nature.
Meals:
The carefully prepared meals at Sanctuary Hill have a special mention on our guide. Our chef crafts extraordinary menus that are rich in natural, whole foods and herbs and contain no artificial substances or common allergens. Chef prepares all meals with seasonal, organic, locally available ingredients and with as much naturally grown ingredients from our own garden. Beautiful, delicious and so, so good for you—the food we serve is meticulously prepared to fuel both body and soul. All special dietary requirements are accommodated.

What YOGA means to us
Yoga is at the heart of our retreats, and we offer the real deal. From the physical practice, the environment where you move, the food you eat, is all part of the philosophy of an integrative way of living. The goal of the physical practice is to challenge you physically but most importantly to quiet the mind. That’s what yoga is all about – calming the mind. And that’s what we teach on our yoga retreats. You will feel re-energized and restored both physically and mentally.
We are truly looking forward to welcome you to join us on an amazing adventure. Have a question we've not yet answered? Please don't hesitate on contacting us.
