TESTIMONIALS
FAQs
Will I feel hungry?
It’s completely understandable to be nervous, especially if this is your first juice cleanse. The most common angst is that you will feel hungry, or should I say starving? However, I have yet to meet anyone who actually feels hungry during a natural juice cleanse. In fact, more often than not they are completely surprised by how full and well-nourished they actually feel!
I am not saying that you won’t feel some false hunger pangs, perhaps even some cravings in the first 24 – 48 hours. This is completely normal. You may also feel a little discomfort as the body starts to detox. Most common symptoms are a mild headache and some minor aches in the joints. But that said, most people who start a juice detox don’t experience any side effects at all. The key is to drink plenty of water and rest as and when required.
Positive Side Effects
However, if at any point during your stay, you feel that you are really struggling, just let us know. We will work with you and offer some S.O.S. solutions.
We’re confident that any nervousness you might feel at the beginning, will be quickly overtaken by the renewed energy you will have. This can happen very quickly as your body begins to adjust, and you feel well-nourished and revitalised from the inside out. Clearer skin, brighter eyes, clearer thinking and a more positive outlook are just a few of the wonderful side effects. Furthermore, if you are looking to kick-start a new healthier way of life, and lose a little weight, there is no safer and healthier way than with a natural juice cleanse.
What does the Juice Programme include?
The programme we offer comprises a refreshing glass of warm lemon water when you wake up. Two shot-glass juices, three large juices or smoothies, and a nourishing soup in the evening. There is also unlimited filtered water and Organic Herbal Teas available throughout your stay.
Please Note : We offer a standard juice detox programme to all our guests, which is vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free. However, we can cater for allergies or intolerances simply by omitting certain ingredients from our recipes. So please let us know of any food allergies or intolerances as soon as possible ahead of your stay. Similarly, if there are any vegetables or fruits that you particularly dislike and cannot eat, just let us know in advance.
I'm a bit worried as I have never done yoga before.
The beauty of yoga is that you don’t have to be a expert or ‘yogi’ to reap the benefits. And regardless of your age, weight or fitness levels, yoga has the power to calm the mind and strengthen the body.
At our retreat we practice a very gentle style of yoga. So it’s well-suited for beginners who are doing yoga for the first time. Yoga is all about the individual and there are different levels for each pose. This means that each pose is easy to adapt depending on the experience and comfort of each guest. Our wonderful team of yoga instructors are highly experienced. And because the groups are small everyone has some time spend with them to build up their confidence and ability.
Our morning yoga practice is more dynamic to help prepare the body for the day, Whereas the evening yoga is focused more on restorative and relaxing movements. From a juice detox point of the view, the daily yoga practices play a vital role in the body’s detox process. Our yoga instructors will also focus on the importance of breathing and beneficial movements to support your body’s detox.
What do you cover in the Educational Workshops?
A great deal of importance is put on the question « Why? ».
When we understand ‘why’ we should adopt certain habits, and ‘why’ we should include certain practices into our daily routine, it becomes a lot easier to make informed decisions and ignite long term changes. I host a series of workshops throughout the retreats to explore and discuss the importance of detoxing. We will look at the benefits of juicing and a wholefood plant-based lifestyle. In addition, we’ll discuss the importance of positive psychology and resilience, and its impact on our health and happiness.
Each evening educational films and documentaries are shown in the ambient setting of the poolside terrace. In addition to the workshops, we organise a visit to our neighbours, Les Gonies. This is the permaculture farm in the village and the main supplier of our delicious fresh produce. During the tour you will learn about permaculture farming methods and have an opportunity to buy produce to take home.
