Springtime Yoga Immersion & Cleanse
Detoxify Your Body, Clear Your Mind, Refine Your Energy

Pre-registration is required for this workshop, please email Gina to let her know you will be attending. Please let Gina know if you will be attending by Saturday, April 29 so there will be the correct number of cleanse kits available at the Kickoff Meeting.

Springtime is the ideal time to detoxify and purify the body. Purification, or tapas, is a traditional aspect of yoga practice. The goals of this cleanse are to eliminate excesses from the body and increase the body's natural ability to renew itself. So we'll set aside a week to immerse ourselves in our yoga practice and undertake a focused diet (not a fast) that will cleanse our organs and activate our bodies.

We'll start with a KICKOFF MEETING
THURSDAY, MAY 4 5:30 - 6:00p

At this meeting we will discuss practical ways to prepare for your immersion and cleanse week including shopping, clearing your schedule, maintaining focus, body care and rest. We will also be distributing your Cleanse Kits which will include an instructional booklet, food lists and recipes, herbal cleansers, probiotics and supplements and other products to aid in your cleansing and renewal. In the 11 days between this meeting and the cleanse week, you will have time to prepare yourself physically and mentally as well as shop for the foods you will need to support your cleanse.

IMMERSION & CLEANSE WEEK:
MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, MAY 15 - 20

The yoga immersion portion focuses on detoxifying and purifying yogasana work - our yoga practice sessions during this time will be focused on physical purification through kriyas, pranayamas and movement to free any stagnancies. The intention is that you will commit to practicing for 6 days straight. You will always have the opportunity to modify your practices as necessary but it is important to commit to 6 days straight of yogasana practice. In an effort to make this feasible, we are offering a combination of cleanse-specific morning classes AND/OR evening classes to attend as your schedule permits:

AM CLASSES:
MON - FRI 7:00-9:00a

PM CLASSES:
MON 7:05 - 8:20p
TUES 6:15 - 7:30p
WED 6:30 - 8:00p
THURS 6:15 - 7:30p
FRI 6:00 - 7:30p

COMPLETION CLASS & MEETING: SATURDAY, MAY 20 9:00 - 11:30a

Some of you have mentioned you know you will not be able to come to the Kickoff Meeting - please don't let this stop you from joining the Cleanse. I can give you your Cleanse Kit and the practical tips soon thereafter. Talk to Gina if you are unsure.

If you have a current Yoga Class Pass and join the Cleanse, you will receive a one-week extension on your Class Pass.

If you have health issues and/or take medication, you should consult with your doctor about this cleanse.

Some examples of how to make it work...

Example 1: Betty would like to do the cleanse but cannot attend the morning classes on Tuesday and Wednesday. So she attends the AM class on Monday, the PM class on Tuesday, the PM class on Wednesday, the AM class on Thursday, the AM class on Friday and the AM Completion Class on Saturday.

Example 2: Joan would like to do the cleanse but works from 8:30 - 5:30pm, M-F. So she attends all of PM classes and the AM Completion Class on Saturday.

Example 3: Sue would like to do the cleanse but is busy getting her family out the door in the mornings. In the evenings, she drives her kids to soccer practice and karate class. So, she realizes this is just one week, not a lifetime committment, and either arranges for someone to help with the family in the mornings (and prepares lunches, etc the night before) and attends the morning sessions OR she arranges for someone else to drive the kids to soccer and karate that week and attends the evening sessions.

Example 4: Bob would like to do the cleanse but works from 8:30 - 5:30pm, M-F. So, he realizes this is just one week and will actually help him at work in the long run so he arranges with work to modify his schedule just that week, working 10:00 - 7:00pm.

New Beginning
