Ayurveda, Yoga's sister science, recommends we fast at every change of season! The good news? You don't have to fast alone or without a purpose. This cleanse has been designed to take us deeper into our purpose, allowing us to arise cleaner, emptier, and with more direction than ever before.
A journey through the Chakras will allow you to explore different paradigms of experience, different elucidations of the mind, the profound truth of the heart, the power and possibility of grace, your own individualized expression of balance, the power you have to touch into the Infinite space of pure connection, and your ability to create through intention, thought, word, and deed. It will guide you through processes of aligning with your potential and open up the possibility of fearless authenticity, of expressing and living as your highest and Truest expression of You. You will explore the beauty and growth that comes from being challenged; the greatest test is not the situation you find yourself in, but how you choose to respond to it.
The whole process of learning is really the process of uncovering and rediscovering what we already know.
The path of yoga is a path that invites us to intimately join this dance of life.
That is the process we will undergo together.
Testimonials
"What a refreshing week long intensive experience, to be in the presence of real walk-the-talk powerful, loving teachers. I’ve seen hundreds of so-called “teachers”. These young women are grounded, fresh, determined, and their potential is absolutely awesome. The presence that they held, that I witnessed-this was truly exceptional . A Blast of the Future Consciousness-SO impressed by these powerful, loving, adaptable teachers, so very gifted.
Age doesn’t matter-skill, commitment and authenticity does." --Allison Morales, Owner, Shimmering Pines Retreat Center
“Since the chakra cleanse my personal meditation practice has taken off, and my life is quickly changing gears- towards teaching yoga full time! Booya! I mean aum!” -Dan Baker, Yoga Teacher, Kula Yoga Shala, Jupiter, FL
"I enjoyed spending so much time in community while cleansing. The art projects, yoga classes, and group meditation helped to remind me to take care of myself. This was helpful and supportive while cleansing, and has also inspired me to find more time for myself and my own needs in my everyday life." - Jenna Bee, Yoga Teacher
