Ayurveda Reset and Restore Group Cleanse
Mar 20 all-day
Burning Sage Yoga--online

Spring Cleanse and Reset – SIGN UP BY MARCH 1st and TAKE $50 OFF!

It’s That Time Again! Our group cleanse for 2023 kicks off March 20.

Why Cleanse?

Our bodies take on a lot. Whether it’s overworked, under utilized, experiencing a lack of sleep, over caffeinated, or too much social media, we demand so much from our bodies and still ask it to show up feeling vibrant. What an unrealistic expectation! An Ayurveda cleanse is such a great tool to rid the body of the gunk and stress so it can actually do the job we’re asking it to do

What if you could look and feel your best…I mean REALLY look and feel your best at least 80% of the time? Close your eyes and imagine what that looks like. Nice dream, huh? A simple, healthy, and safe Ayurvedic cleanse makes this dream a reality.

Ayurveda recommends at least two cleanses a year to reset and restore your body. 

What is a group cleanse?

This all virtual, 21 day cleanse takes very little of your time yet provides something so powerful and nourishing. With this cleanse you get:

*Professional support from an Ayurveda Health Counselor

*Ayurveda Recipes for the whole 21 days

*Peer Support from other participants

*Optional Educational Resources on Ayurveda, broken down into digestible information

*Optional Meet Ups both virtually and in-person for locals

Not sure if it’s right for you?

If ANY of these are true for you right now, the cleanse is right for you

I want to feel better but I don’t know where to start

I’m tired of one-size-fits all dieting and want a plan catered to my needs

I want to eat better but I don’t know which recipes will really improve my digestion

I feel tired, sluggish, and un-motivated and I’m sick of it

I get sick easily and I want to improve my immune system

I want to lose weight but I don’t believe anything will work

I want to improve my sleep like, yesterday

I suffer from anxiety, am quick to anger, or am depressed and I need a solution

I want to improve my sex drive

I want to change my story

We’ll meet virtually on March 16 at 7pm eastern to answer any questions and prep for the cleanse. Once you register you will be emailed all that you need to know. Welcome! We’re glad you’re here!

Agenda

7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Kick off Virtual Call March 16 on Zoom

Jamie Knox


We’ll meet up and answer any questions, making sure everyone is ready to go!

Pre Cleanse begins March 20-March 26


We will remove something from our diets each day. You’ll be reminded to journal the experience and take time for yourself.

Cleanse begins March 27-April 2


We will eat only the recipes provided to you for the next seven days. Optional check in calls will be available to you.

Post Cleanse begins April 3-April 8


We will slowly begin adding foods back into our diets just in time for Easter, Spring break, or any other springtime celebrations.
