Fall Guided Cleanse
Release the heat of summer feeling grounded and nourished
About the cleanse
Unlike the fad juice cleanses and elimination detoxes out there, an Ayurvedic cleanse deeply nourishes all the tissue layers of your body. In Ayurveda, a mono-diet of kitchari is brought in to remove toxins, light the digestive fire, and gently support the building of fresh tissue. Our cleanse will include clear instructions for grocery shopping, along with food prep, cooking, and consumption. Daily, recorded check-ins and a private online group with your fellow cleansers provides a support system to help you through.
You will be given the tools to help eliminate and clear the stagnation of the warm months, so that you may welcome in the fall with grounded energy and rejuvenated mind, body, and spirit.
This cleanse is entirely virtual and accessible wherever you may live. Recordings are provided daily.

✺ Q & A ✺
-
This cleanse is designed to fit in with a busy person’s schedule. That said, a cleanse is intended to give yourself a chance to reset, focus, and release. Telling loved ones and colleagues that you are engaged in a cleanse can help with necessary boundary setting during this special time of self care.
-
Beginner level. If you can chop veggies, boil water, and measure spices, you’re golden. You’ll have the option to make some recipes with a blender, for example, but no high-tech equipment or skill level needed here.
-
Absolutely not. An Ayurvedic cleanse is intended to load you up on nutrient-dense foods and beverages. What makes it a cleanse is that it takes away the processed and ultra-heavy foods that sit in our bodies and create the kind of waste that remains stagnant. It also introduces daily practices that aid in digestion and proper absorption of nutrients.
-
That’s the idea! You’ll be provided with easy-to-make recipes that also allow you to be creative. While we’ll stick to a mono-diet of kitchari for the majority of the cleanse, there will be extra meal and snack options if you feel like mixing it up.
-
Here’s why juicing and fasting can be ineffective, especially during the seasonal transition… While juice is absolutely fine to bring into your Ayurvedic cleanse, you still need comprehensive nourishment and (as silly as it may sound) to chew your food. Stopping to prepare, eat, and enjoy a meal is just as much a part of the cleanse as what goes in our body.
Fasting deprives the body of nutrients. And while, yes, it can certainly make us feel lighter, it does little to build us back up in a way that prepares the body, mind, and spirit for the new season. (but you do get the benefits of intermittent fasting on an Ayurvedic schedule when you eat dinner by 6pm, then breakfast by 8am)
