Guided Ayurvedic Cleanse

15 days total: 1 week of “Active Cleansing” and 4 days of Pre + Post Cleansing before and after the Active Cleansing week to ease into and out of the cleanse.

These are 4 days before and after the “Active Cleansing” period that are designed to ease your body into a state of cleansing and back out into your typical diet & lifestyle gracefully.

During the Pre + Post-Cleanse periods, you will begin removing the foods on the “Elimination List” from your diet (dairy, gluten, soy, sugars, alcohol, substances + excessive meat and caffeine consumption) as much as possible. Perfection is not necessary here! You just want to ensure you’re not eating fast food and milkshakes on the days leading up to your cleanse so that you get the best results and do it in a way that is respectful of your mind and body.

Active Cleansing is the week that you’ll want to really commit your schedule + attention to. Pre- and post-cleansing are pretty laid back and flexible!

During the entirety of the 15 days, you will eliminate certain types of foods from your diet (dairy, gluten, soy, sugars, alcohol, substances + excessive meat and caffeine consumption).

During the week of active cleansing, you will eat predominantly Kitchari, which is a delicious traditional Indian dish that basically includes basmati rice, mung beans, veggies and digestive spices. Special recipes and instructions will be sent to you to guide you through making this meal in different delicious variations throughout the week.

We will also be consuming specialized and gentle herbal formulas, liver detox juices and be working with internal and external oleation (oiling) for a full-body experience.

If giving up caffeine is terrifying, fear not, you can continue to consume it in smaller quantities throughout the Cleanse.

Yes! While this cleanse focuses on the body and digestive tract, through our holistic practice, we understand that it is all connected. You will likely notice shifts in your digestion and elimination, mood, energy and emotions throughout the journey. This cleanse includes recommended morning/evening routine and lifestyle practices that are equally as important as the foods you will eat. While you will be able to carry on with your daily life and work, we recommend setting up your workload to be as light + smooth as possible (not over-stacked) and keep your personal commitments + projects to a minimum. There will be lots of physical + mental processing that happens during this time and you will get the most out of this cleanse by giving your body time and space to perform these functions. Some folks take time off work and treat this like an at home retreat, which is highly recommended of course, but not necessary!

During the cleanse, expect to notice a change in elimination and potentially mood, emotions, energy levels, skin symptoms, body odor, etc. This is all totally normal.

Although it’s ideal for you to follow along with us day by day, you can totally shift your Pre, Post and Active Cleanse dates to fit your calendar if need be. Example - You could start your cleanse days or weeks later as long as you followed the same guidelines sent out in the daily emails. Each video call is recorded and can be watched at a later date to help you feel like you were present with us in the moment! Our group message board will be open for 4 weeks after the end of Active Cleansing so any stragglers can continue asking questions!
