Alpujarra Yoga, Walking and Detox
"This has been an amazing week that I have thoroughly enjoyed and would whole heartedly recommend that everyone should do! Thank you Rumana, Simon, Paul and Fi for allowing my soul the space and place to centre and grow." Nicola Cook
It seems that you can’t open a magazine or walk into a bookshop without hearing about the latest detox. Thousands of people around the world have enjoyed the benefits of detoxing, you feel more vibrant, your skin glows and you may even lose a few pounds if you need to.
Trying to detoxify whilst continuing with your normal life can be quite hard. Spirulina and carrot juice may be fine for a ‘resting’ Californian actress, but what about those of us travelling to work on the number 73 bus from Stoke Newington every morning? You may have found it’s too much to detox while you have the responsibility of preparing family meals, holding down a demanding job – or both! And, that’s before we even mention the emotional or physical issues that may surface when a person undergoes a detox.
So it’s not surprising that whilst many people desire the benefits cleansing can provide, few people manage to detox successfully on their own. You may have even bought the products with good intentions but perhaps they are sitting on the shelf waiting to be unpacked!
In an ideal world, you’d have time away on your own, the emotional support of a good friend or therapist, and an expert guiding you through the process. But up until now, the only way to do that would be by secluding yourself in an exclusive health farm – with the price tag to match!
Until now, that is, because I’ve come up with a solution that will allow people like you to enjoy all the advantages of a detoxification programme in a supportive and healthy environment, and at an affordable price.
A Team of Experts to Support You
My name is Rumana Zahn, and I am a multi-disciplined practitioner in the field of natural medicine and have been in practice for over 10 years. I have in that time helped thousands of people to enjoy the benefits of cleansing such as more energy, weight loss, improved health condition and a maintenance approach to reduce risk of future illness.
Yet, I also noticed that many of my clients struggled with their health programme in their normal home and work environment. So I decided to organise a week together precisely to help those who want to immerse themselves in a group that are intent and focussed on creating optimum health in a relaxed environment with the support and guidance of experts at hand. And most importantly, at an affordable price !
I have put together an opportunity for just 16 people to join me from Sun 28 May until Sat 3rd June 2006 in the beautiful mountains of southern Spain. Simon Owen, a superb yoga teacher, will take you through daily yoga practice in the mornings at a gentle pace that suits you. Paul who has lived in the region for many years will take you on some spectacular walks around the region. Fi will be cooking delicious, natural wholesome food and juices will be provided along with herbal products to help you to detoxify your body organs. And of course I will be at hand to take you through your health programme.
Taking time out in Spain will give you the chance to work on your health without the constant interference from work, family, friends, etc. Everything is inclusive so you don’t have to worry about which herbs to take and when, which foods to cook and what yoga class to take or how to detox. It’s all in one place, arranged for you!
