What you will experience at the Ánanda Karnika Yoga Detox Retreat
Cleaning your system
Regular fasting can be a powerful, natural way to support overall wellbeing and mental clarity by giving the digestive system a restorative pause and encouraging the body to draw on stored energy more efficiently. On fasting days—and when you break your fast—you’ll drink lemon water with salt. Together, fasting and this simple drink may promote a lighter, clearer feeling by supporting the body’s natural elimination pathways and reducing the burden of constant digestion, so you can feel more refreshed, focused, and in tune with your body.
Morning and evening Yoga sessions
Our yoga classes are suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners. The blend of gentle movement, stretching, and twisting, combined with deep, mindful breathing, helps support the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Yoga also cultivates inner calm and stillness, which can ease the impacts of stress and anxiety. During a fast, as the body releases stored waste, old or long-forgotten emotions may surface. A steady yoga practice provides grounding, helping you meet these feelings with greater awareness, balance, and compassion.
Meditation
Meditation is a quiet, intentional time to return to the present moment and observe your inner experience—your breath, body sensations, thoughts, and emotions—with curiosity and without judgment. As this awareness deepens, you begin to understand your patterns more clearly: what truly nourishes you, what drains you, and what drives your choices. With that clarity comes greater freedom to respond rather than react, make decisions that reflect your values, and live with more ease and alignment—so your daily life gradually comes into harmony with your deepest desires.
Nutrition Classes
Our Health and Nutrition classes are designed to help you understand why a balanced, wholesome diet is essential for lasting wellbeing. We emphasize the benefits of a vegetarian, plant-rich approach—alongside drinking plenty of water—to support healthy digestion, stable energy, and everyday vitality. When digestion is working well, the body is better able to absorb nutrients and eliminate waste efficiently, which in turn helps strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of illness, supporting prevention through practical, sustainable habits.
Cleansing Mud Packs
Mud packs are a traditional, natural therapy used to cool, cleanse, and refresh the body by drawing excess heat and surface impurities from the skin while supplying trace minerals from the earth. Applied to specific areas or the whole body, they can help soothe inflammation, calm irritated skin, and support recovery from certain minor skin conditions by leaving the skin feeling clearer and more balanced. Mud packs are also often used to ease joint and muscle discomfort—their cooling, grounding effect may reduce swelling and tenderness, bringing gentle relief to aching areas and promoting an overall sense of relaxation and wellbeing.

We provide you with the necessary knowledge of how to go about these procedures without the daily assistance of “professionals”.
