7 Day Ayurvedic Fasting Retreat

A week of conscious reduction — gentle, grounded, and guided.

This Gentle Ayurvedic Fasting Retreat is designed for guests who seek clarity, simplicity, and deep rest, without extreme fasting or physical strain.

Instead of pushing the body into stress, we support its natural intelligence through warmth, rhythm, touch, and nourishment.

Rooted in classical Ayurvedic principles, this retreat is ideal for guests with previous detox or Ayurveda experience, or for those who feel ready for a period of intentional reduction and inner quiet.

The Intention of This Retreat

• Gently relieve the digestive system
  
• Support the natural reduction of Ama (metabolic residue)
• Calm and regulate the nervous system
• Restore a natural daily rhythm
• Create mental clarity through reduced stimulation

This is not a performance-based detox, but a carefully held space for rest, regulation, and inner order.

Nutrition — Light, Warm & Stabilising

Meals are intentionally simple and Ayurvedically aligned:

• Warm soups and broths
  
• Kitchari (a traditional rice-lentil dish)
• Herbal teas and warm water
• No raw foods
• No coffee or alcohol

The meals are designed to nourish while gently reducing load, supporting digestion without creating deficiency.

This is not a zero-calorie fast or juice cleanse.

Ayurvedic Treatments

• Abhyanga – traditional full-body oil massage
  
• Swedana – gentle herbal steam and heat therapy
  
• Mandatory rest after each treatment (an essential part of the process)

Movement, Rest & Integration

The week follows a steady, unhurried rhythm:

• Gentle morning yoga (Vata-balancing)
• Breathwork and meditation
• Mindful walks in nature
• Generous periods of free time
• Journaling and quiet integration

There is no pressure to perform, no constant group interaction, and no obligation to participate beyond what feels supportive.

• Late morning: Ayurvedic treatments
