*Your 40 day cleanse will be designed to work for your individual needs which may include fasting from all or some of the items listed above plus optional liquid fasts and organic herbal supplements to help tone and detoxify your organs. You will learn meditations to cleanse the mind and recipes to cleanse the body. This workshop includes healthy nutrition and cooking classes, yoga and meditation intensives, a walking meditation event, plus an optional wellness field trip! You will also receive goody bags filled with samples, recipes, and fun items to use during your cleanse.

Why Cleanse
Cleansing and fasting is nothing new. Open a bible to see that our ancestors have prescribed cleansing as medicine for as long as we have been on the planet. Even animals know to fast, for instance, after being bitten by a rattlesnake, to purge the toxins from their bodies. After you have been on the planet for over 20 or 30 years you have probably ingested, at some point or another, something that is now being stored in your intestines, waiting for the day(s) where you give your body a rest and simplify the functions of the organs long enough to release old build-up from your colon. Fasts are also helpful in neutralizing parasites whose over population in the bowels creates unnecessary bloating and discomfort. And most importantly, a cleanse can bring your mind and heart to a place of balance so that you can manifest happiness and wellness in your life and relationships.

Why 40 Days?!
40 Days is a length of time often referred to in the Bible and other ancient scriptures for enacting change. Doing something for 40 days can make or break a habit in a person.

**What is gluten?
Gluten is commonly found in rye, wheat, and barley. Therefore, it is found in most types of cereals and in many types of bread. Not all foods from the grain family, however, contain gluten. Examples of grains that do not have gluten include wild rice, corn, buckwheat, millet, amaranth, quinoa, teff, some oat products, soybeans, and sunflower seeds. Many adults develop gluten allergies as they get older. Symptoms include bloating and/or cramping after eating something with gluten.

Tell me more about the
organic herbs for cleansing?
For those of you that choose, you may augment your cleanse with organic herbal supplements designed to assist the colon as we prepare for and do a five day liquid fast. Your herbal kit will include a toxin absorber, digestive stimulator, and an herbal dietary supplement with the following Certified Organically Grown and Wild Harvested herbs: Aloe Vera leaf, Cascara Sagrada bark, Chinese Rhubarb root, Triphala (Amla fruit,Chebulic Myrobalan fruit, Belleric Myrobalan fruit), Barberry root, Dandelion root,Fringe Tree root bark, Meadowsweet aerial parts, Plantain aerial parts, Ginger root,Fennel seed, Peppermint leaf, Fenugreek seed, and Licorice root.

How to prepare:
Come to the introduction and meditation on April 12th. Do the written assignment that will be emailed to you when you register. Mark you calendar. Let your friends and family know that you are going to make these change for 6 weeks. Ask for their support or for them to join you on the journey.

This will be a juicy exploration on how to best nurture your body, using props to safely go deeper into asanas.

She was introduced to dance and Yoga as a child, and has had the great fortune of studying with many master teachers including Phattabhi Jois, Richard Freeman, Nicki Doane, Eddie Modestini, Brian Legere, Anna Forest, Annie-b Parson and Yogi Bhajan.
