Will I be hungry?
Hunger is a very rare sensation during a raw juice fast, since the juices provided are so nutrient dense, and available every few hours.
Most first time fasters are amazed that they never feel hungry.

Is fasting safe?
While a fast of water only for more than 3 days is considered by some to be unhealthful, Juice fasting is completely safe for quite an extended period of time. This is because you will be nourished, probably better than you are when not fasting due to the concentrated nutrients and varieties of juices provided.


Back To Top
Will I gain back more weight than I lose after the fast?
This is the best part of Guided Raw Juice fasting, when practiced in conjunction with a yoga practice. While it is really up to you, how you continue to eat after the fast, you will receive long lasting tools and easy daily practices that you will look forward to for the rest of your life. For many it is a life altering experience. And like all yoga, a practice that you may come back to again and again for centering and sanity when it comes to food choices.


Back To Top
Can I fast at home, on my own?
Some prefer fasting on their own. While you will not receive the benefit of not only stripping away the digestive overload in your life, you will probably miss out on the extraordinary benefits of also stripping away the environmental and emotional toxins which is a big component to a successful detoxification experience. However, If you are experienced and wish support at home then by all means we are here to help!

Why fasting and Yoga?
Fasting and Yoga are perfect companions. Both serve to detoxify the body, and the mind. The result of fasting is greatly enhanced by the physical daily practice of yoga asanas and the mental practice of meditation.
To fast with yoga is many times more efficient than fasting without yoga and meditation. It is the key to the long lasting results.

What if I have never practiced yoga or meditation before? or What if I have a very demanding advanced yoga practice?
We have teachers and classes appropriate for all levels. All students no matter where they are in their practice will find much to learn and experience here.

Do you offer colon hydrotherapy?
Yes, however at this time, it is off premises. We do have plans to offer this beneficial detoxification service on premises in the near future. We recommend that you visit your colon hydrotherapist the day before you arrive, and the day you return, if colon hydrotherapy is part of your regular self-care. If you are in New York, we recommend Elena at the Natural Vitality Center:

""Dear Mary, The photos are glorious. I sent them around to friends, and I'm so grateful to have them myself, to remember you and the extraordinary time I spent with you all this past week. Thank you so deeply for your guidance and impeccable care of me,and the space you created for all of us, I have to say I have never had such a wonderful yoga teacher, so suited to the way I like to learn.  I'm doing very well breaking my fast sensibly.

Love and all good wishes,"
