Detox, Meditation, and Ayurveda Yoga Retreat Alicante, Spain
On this 8-day Ayurvedic rejuvenation detox program, you’ll receive a very personalized Ayurvedic treatments program with Dr. Vijay Carolin. One treatment every day, tailored to suit your individual diagnostic history. A personalized diagnosis with a qualified Ayurvedic doctor 10 days before the retreat starts helps prepare the program of treatments, Ayurvedic diet, and Ayurvedic routines (Dinacharias). This program is an ideal introduction and preparation for the more intensive panchakarma (full detox) program but it's also a suitable option if you simply wish to rest, relax, lose weight, and de-stress. This also includes daily yoga, pranayama and yoga Nidra meditation, personal lifestyle, and health coaching with Javier or Ana.

Program
Ayurveda
Ayurveda is the traditional healing system of India and is considered the world's oldest complete health system that is still in use. Today, thanks to the development of a more comprehensive view of medicine, philosophy, and spirituality, its popularity has soared in the West.
Ayurveda opens consciousness and teaches that you are not only your body; this is a vehicle for the expansion of consciousness. It helps you to connect with your true nature and to see that the only real cure for diseases is the understanding of the self. It is a lifestyle, a way to learn how to cooperate with nature and to live in harmony with it.

A typical day is detailed below but in general, your days will be structured around Ayurveda, relaxing massage therapies, personal development, and health education you'll also have a little time to explore the local mountains and the many natural places around to hike.
