Come
join us at Ashinah, for a week of healthy living. Surrounded by
gardens, enjoy a daily yoga practice, & three exquisite raw
meals a
day. Raw live food is innately designed to help eliminate any unwanted
toxins & excess build up from the intestines.
Gourmet fresh flavors curl around the tongue inviting the body to gently cleanse itself. As
we cleanse the body we cleanse the mind & discover new perspectives
to contemplate, so bring a journal for your personal time.
We also have
a comprehensive library available to all, for quite times in the
garden. Daily meditation and pranayama is an ongoing option for
participants.
Also, there is a soothing sauna with purifying essential
oils that will be fired up upon request. There are plenty of nearby
wonders to enjoy, such as an afternoon hike to an amazing waterfall or
a trip to the lake.
See ‘Region’ for more ideas and pictures.
