Restore balance and step into spring with clarity and vitality.
*In-Person & At-Home Support
Join us for a gentle, nourishing Ayurvedic cleanse designed to support your digestion, renew your energy, and cultivate deeper self-care through daily practice (dinacharya). Over the course of 8 days, we'll clear space in our homes and bodies, nourish ourselves with simple, grounding meals, and reconnect with the rhythms of nature through Ayurvedic practices for renewal and vitality. This is not a cleanse of restriction, but one of nourishment and alignment.
Why Cleanse in Spring?
According to Ayurveda, spring is a time of release and renewal. Just as nature awakens and sheds the remnants of winter, we, too, can benefit from clearing out what no longer serves us.
A spring cleanse can help you:
✔ Boost digestion and metabolism
✔ Reduce sluggishness (excess Kapha) & restore a sense of vitality (agni)
✔ Enhance energy and mental clarity
✔ Reset your habits and cultivate intentional daily practices (dinacharya)
✔ Feel more aligned with the rhythms of nature
What’s Included?
✔ Two in person gatherings— May 1st & May 8th, 7-8:15p (details below)
✔ Daily support and guidance via email
✔ Nourishing recipes featuring kitchari, seasonal veggies, and whole foods
✔ Self-care rituals to align with each day’s elemental theme
✔ Cleanse guide with how-to’s and tips for success
All together, this will be an 8 day container, with the first few days focused on prepping and clearing for the cleanse, 3 full days of dietary cleansing, and the last few days for reflection and integration. Each day of the cleanse will be guided by one of the five elements — Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth — incorporating yoga, breathwork, and Ayurvedic rituals for a complete mind-body-spirit reset. We’ll gather on the evening of March 1st @ 7p to practice, discuss Ayurvedic principles, and prepare for the cleanse. We’ll meet again on March 8th @ 7p for our closing circle and reflections.
Cleanse Schedule:
🍃 Day 1 (May 1): Air — Preparing for the Cleanse
Gather as a group this evening to explore Ayurvedic principals, discuss details of the cleanse and practices we’ll use for support. *In-Person Opening Session @ 7-8:15p
🧹 Day 2 (May 2): Ether — Clearing Space & Setting Intentions

🔥 Day 3-5 (May 3-5): Fire — Nourishment & Transformation
