Summary

In our yoga detox retreat with a vegan-based diet, fasting and hiking, you will not only relax physically, but also mentally and emotionally. Yoga, meditation, hiking and relaxation as well as various forms of detox fasting are ideal combinations to find specific solutions for the demands of everyday life.

Vegan-based diet, fasting and still plenty of exercise - is that possible? Isn't that pretty crazy? Not at all - quite the opposite! It's pretty crazy to sit in the office and/or in front of the TV all week, not move and still eat! At least that's how our ancestors would have seen it. In the long term, our bodies are much better adapted to exercise and little food than vice versa.
In this course, we combine different yoga sessions with delicious vegan-based food and a varied exercise program. In addition, the program includes lectures, videos, group discussions and answers to questions from the entire fasting detox and nutrition area as well as stress reduction.

We practise Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Yin Yoga and Sukshma Vyayama. Yoga deals with the human being as a whole and consists of physical and breathing exercises as well as meditation. Heart Chakra Meditation is a combination of movement to meditative music followed by a period of rest.

Take it into your own hands and make yourself feel better!

Accommodation

Villa Schindler

Villa Schindler is a small, romantic hotel with a breathtaking view over the Gulf of Manerba/Lake Garda. Sundials, frescoes and sculptures by artist and owner Annamaria Brotto create a unique and atmospheric ambience. As a guest, you can move freely around the villa and gardens as if it were your own house on the lake. The villa has nine beautiful rooms and five apartments, a swimming pool, massage room and a terrace with a unique lake view. The large cypress trees are reflected in the blue water and the fresh scent of lavender and oleander hangs in the air. Old olive trees and palm trees provide soothing shade. The olive tree-covered park leads to the private lawn on the beach. Villa Schindler is a family business and is run with great attention to detail by Annamaria Brotto and her friendly staff. The relaxed, informal atmosphere lets you forget everyday life and relax.

Address: Via Teodora Bresciani 68 25080 Manerba del Garda (BS) Italia

Catering

The detox method according to Dr. Buchinger is a modified fast in which solid food is avoided. The body is completely switched to a fasting metabolism and feeds almost exclusively from stored reserves (fat and protein). Juices and broths (¼ liter each) as well as water and tea are drunk. All body cells enter a protective mechanism, deposits are broken down and degenerative cells regress.

Detox 16:8 Interval vegan bases refers to a dietary detox diet in which proteins are almost completely avoided. Only foods that are predominantly alkaline are eaten. In this vegan alkaline detox diet, the body does not completely switch to a fasting metabolism. Instead, the body undergoes a deacidification treatment that has a positive effect on well-being and health.
We follow the 16:8 detox interval concept, which involves taking a break from eating for at least 16 hours. This triggers autophagy, the body's own waste removal process. Autophagy (eating oneself) is currently the best scientifically proven detox method. The detoxification process takes place directly in the cells. We start in the morning with tea and from 11 a.m. we have home-made alkaline porridge and fruit and/or vegetables and salads. In the evening, a meal of soup, vegetables, potatoes, dips and/or alkaline bread is planned for 6 pm.
