UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS
What “detox” really means.
Your liver, kidneys, lungs, digestive system and skin already work continuously to process and remove waste.
A retreat “detox” is not a magical purge or a medical cure. It is a structured pause from heavy, highly processed eating that creates space for rest, hydration, mindful movement and simpler nutrition.
Short periods of carefully guided fasting can also help you improve digestion and observe appetite, habits and emotional patterns around food. The goal is not deprivation—it is greater awareness and a more balanced relationship with eating.

A SAFE, SUSTAINABLE PROCESS
Prepare. Cleanse. Rebuild.
Our retreat follows a gradual rhythm so the body is prepared before fasting and nourished carefully afterwards.
01
Prepare
Simple vegetarian meals, hydration and gentle yoga help you transition away from stimulants, processed food and overeating.
02
Cleanse & rest
Guided juice-and-broth days are supported by meditation, light movement, natural therapies and plenty of time to rest.
03
Rebuild
Wholesome foods are reintroduced gradually while practical workshops help translate the retreat into healthier daily habits.
WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE
A pause that creates perspective.
A supported fast can become a useful period of reflection and reset. Experiences vary, and results should never be presented as guaranteed.
✓ A break from heavy or highly processed food
✓ Greater awareness of hunger and eating habits
✓ More time for sleep, relaxation and reflection
✓ Motivation to continue healthier routines
✓ A calmer relationship with food and self-care
MORE THAN WHAT YOU REMOVE
A whole-person approach.
NourishmentMovementMindfulness
A meaningful reset is built from what you add as well as what you temporarily remove. Fresh juices and warm broth provide fluids and nutrients during guided cleanse days, while nourishing vegetarian meals support preparation and recovery.
Yoga, conscious breathing and meditation help reduce the pace of the day. Mud packs and other simple naturopathic practices are offered for comfort and relaxation—not as substitutes for medical treatment.
Workshops on nutrition, stress and healthy routines help you turn a brief retreat experience into realistic changes at home.
Safety first
fasting is not for everyone
IMPORTANT HEALTH GUIDANCE
Know when fasting is not appropriate.
Children and adolescents, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and anyone who is severely underweight or acutely unwell should not take part in fasting without appropriate medical supervision.
Seek assistance if you experience fainting, confusion, persistent vomiting, severe weakness or other concerning symptoms. Our retreats are educational wellness programs and do not diagnose or claim to cure disease.
THE ÁNANDA SURUCI METHOD
Guided fasting, grounded in daily life.
Detox becomes meaningful when it supports a healthier way of living—not simply a few days without food.
Our five-day residential Yoga Detox & Juice Cleanse Retreat combines preparation meals, two guided liquid-fasting days, gradual refeeding, twice-daily yoga and meditation, natural therapies, practical workshops and time in nature.
You are supported throughout the process by experienced resident teachers in a small, welcoming group. The retreat is designed to help generally healthy adults rest, reflect and establish more conscious habits.
