As life continues to move faster, Americans are experiencing rising stress levels. Doctors report that between 60 to 70 percent of visits to physicians are related to stress and other psycho-social factors and stress in society is so prevalent that the U.S. Public Health Service has made reducing stress one of its major health promotion goals. Mary McGuire–Wien of American Yogini is offering Come Hohm to Health retreats this summer to help reduce stress levels and teach healthy lifestyle choices. The schedule in flexible and dates can be arranged to suit any time frame.

“Americans are looking for answers outside traditional medicine,” says McGuire-Wien, author of the 7-day Total Cleanse and CEO of the American Yogini Hohm yoga retreat on Long Island. “The Institute for Alternative Futures found that complementary and alternative approaches to health and medicine are among the fastest growing aspects of health care in the US. They predicted that by 2010 at least two-thirds of our population will be using some form of alternative therapy, such as Yoga, meditation and lifestyle changes to deal with stress.”

American Yogini Hohm offers weekend and week-long Come Hohm to Health stays where one can relax, de-stress and learn these healthy new lifestyle patterns. Part of the retreat includes cooking lessons using only local and sustainable food. Summer activities include swimming, walking on beautiful beaches and kayaking on the North Fork of Long Island’s East End.

The eco-conscious yoga retreat is just a short drive or bus ride from New York City and specializes in Raw Juice Fasting, Raw Juice Feasting, Raw Food Cleansing, and the Yoga Lifestyle. A great many of American Yogini’s guests come back again and again to recover from the stress resulting from high pressure jobs and fast paced living of New York City and beyond.

The convenient and speedy transport via Hampton Jitney, from hectic midtown to tranquility of “hohm” as repeat guests affectionally refer to this jewel of a retreat, have created quite a cult following among successful hard working and hard playing New Yorkers seeking balance. A stay at the retreat equips one with the perfect space to de-stress in the country, with all the information and resources needed to carry yoga practice off the mat and into every part of one’s life.
