About our Dharma Yoga & Cleanse Retreat:

Treat your mind-body-spirit to the ultimate healing journey.  Alya Retreat Center extends a warm invitation for you to experience a unique combination of eco yoga retreat, coupled with a delicious raw food cleansing diet, and immersing into the stress-free surroundings of Mother Nature, the ultimate healer.    This retreat  focuses on the art of balance and being through yoga, pranayama and meditation as well as re-discovering food as medicine.

The benefits of a cleanse retreat:
Cleansing can bring many and varied benefits, often beyond all expectations. 

Here are just a few of them:
  • Greater vitality and more consistent energy
  • Improved digestion and absorption of nutrients
  • Better elimination and bowel health
  • Improvement in fertility (men and women)
  • Relief from chronic skin problems, like eczema, psoriasis and acne
  • Hormonal balance – to help alleviate PMS, blood sugar imbalances and mood    swings
  • Weight loss and enhanced metabolic function
  • Heightened immune system
  • Greater emotional / mental well-being and happiness
  • A sense of spiritual unfoldment
  • Experience a life free from pain and ill-health

Alya provides a supportive and healing atmosphere where you can feel safe to detox on all levels. We are on hand to guide and support you throughout your cleansing journey with the aim of not only bringing about empowered, positive transformation on the physical level, but also on the emotional, mental and spiritual levels. During the detox retreat we provide information, inspiration and practical tips to help you better understand yourself and your health. We believe that optimum health is about ‘listening’ to your body, your mind and your heart and becoming aware of your needs - ultimately, taking charge of your own health and wellbeing.

Yoga
Yoga is a Way of life, a learning process and personal progression. A development of physical, emotional and intellectual skills. A means to achieving a deeper understanding of our body, consciousness and leading a better life.  

With a small group setting and individual attention, the yoga classes are suitable for every body and everyone. Anat Zohar, Founder of Yoga Dharma, will provide powerful tools, techniques and insights that restore your energies on all levels; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Food As Medicine
During this time of renewal, we will nourish our body with fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, rich in potent antioxidants, nutrients, vitamins and minerals.

Topics covered: 
  • Importance of Food as Medicine to our Health- Historical perspectives, preventative health, you are what your digest
  • Spring Foods for Maximum Energy- The marriage between diet and daily energy/vibrancy, taste-testing medicinal foods, why where you food comes from matters
  • Eating Healthy and Real Life: How to save time and money and eat well, meal planning tips and tricks, create your go-to menus


Our guest presenters: JP, raw food chef and Founder of Naked Foods; Frankline Fernando Alleth, Founder of Omnilife Organic Products; and Bhajan Kaur, Raw Dessert Artisan and Founder of In the Night Kitchen.

Deep Restoration
We encourage you to slow down, reflect, re-align, and release to aid to the cleansing process.  There is plenty of free time to soak in the beauty that surrounds us, indulging in nourishing self-care, and restoring the mind-body-spirit to full rested health.
