About the food: Our meals are lovingly prepared using fresh organic ingredients mainly sourced from the local area. The menu is abundant, delicious and healthy. This is not a fast so you won’t go hungry, however we cut out meat, dairy foods, sugar and alcohol so your body will be lightly cleansing. Each morning after yoga we sip a fresh healthy juice before our lovely buffet breakfast. Lunch is another delicious meal and dinner often starts with a nutritious soup. Teas and fruits are available throughout the retreat as well as purified drinking water. By the retreats end you’ll be feeling energised, clear and nourished and you’ll have lots of recipes and ideas for continuing your healthy eating at home.
