Ayurvedic Fall Cleanse with Amanda DiGiovanna Sun. Oct. 14th 6 - 9 p.m. + Full Week of Support

-->
WHAT ON EARTH IS AYURVEDA?
Ayurveda is the sister science of yoga. It’s an ancient method of natural medicine, using herbs and simple daily practices to bring the body to a state of glowing health and balance. Start to reverse the aging process, avoid getting sick, and lose any unwanted weight. Considered one of the greatest gifts of Yoga and growing in popularity across America. Used by celebrities, yoga practitioners and now you can learn all the secrets to perfect health enjoyed by yogi’s for over 5000 years.

WHY CLEANSE?
Balance the Body/hormones/systems- Get back to your natural state
Increase Self Worth- When the body gets healthy and clear the mind follows
Spring Cleaning! Detoxify and Create space for next season
Lose Weight-Jumpstart your weight loss before bikini season!
Boost Energy- Uncover your inner fire
Reduce Inflammation (under eye circles decrease, eliminate swelling in joints, improves skin quality)

WHY CLEANSE NOW? Ayurveda has deep understanding of the body’s rhythms.The body is always naturally moving towards homeostasis (balance). During this transition between Fall and Winter it naturally starts to release toxins. The ancient wisdom of the yogis teaches us that if we do not help the body to remove these toxins they will get reabsorbed. This is why people usually get sick about 22 days after a transition period!

WHAT WILL YOU GET DURING THIS CLEANSE?
Lessons on daily practices like self massage and oil pulling
A personal dosha (constitution) evaluation
All the food, spices, teas and supplements you’ll need
All the items you need for ancient daily rituals (tongue cleaner, neti pot, organic sesame oil, nasya oil
