Autumn equinox Ayurveda cleanse

Re-set after the summer heat and prepare for winter!

A change-of-season, gentle kitcheri-based cleanse, in the comfort of your home, supported and encouraged by kindred spirits

Detox body and mind, boost energy, reset digestion and improve immunity in preparation for winter

In only 5 days you’ll feel aligned with nature’s cycles, clearer, healthier and renewed

Seasonal change, heralded by the Autumn equinox on March 21st, alerts our mind and bodies that we need to shift gears to keep functioning at our best.

After the excesses of Christmas and our summer holidays, when we might have overindulged in rich, non-seasonal imported delicacies, ice creams and barbecues, or been too close to the fridge during lockdown—this is the time of year our liver, gall bladder and intestinal tract yearn for a good cleanse.­

Detoxing at the autumn equinox makes sure we don't dry out to much, like the autumn leaves, by rebalancing accumulated summer heat and the approaching dryness of autumn.

Join us on this gentle  cleanse at home to keep our bodies and minds functioning at their very best, during this time of seasonal change.

The Autumn cleanse will be great for you if you are feeling

• a little bit heavy and sluggish after too many weeks close to the fridge while working from home!
• ready for a post summer holiday cleanse, in preparation for winter
• congested—with signs of lymphatic congestion, water retention or sinus congestion
• generalised aches and pains
• stiff joints
• bloating, wind, constipation, heartburn, acid reflux, diarrhea  or constipation
• mild fatigue
• lack of mental clarity
• irregular or impaired appetite

This Dru Ayurveda gentle cleanse is for you if you

• are ready to release yourself from craving unhealthy unseasonal foods
• are committed to prioritising your health for 5 days 
• are self-directed and have self-discipline to follow the detox menus and program—
  don’t worry it’s easy!
• you have time in your days to cook the special detox kitcheries with accompanying condiments
• need a programme that fits in with your family life
• have no major work commitments or events on the 5 days of the detox
• have no serious medical issues

What the Autumn equinox cleanse provides

• a quick quiz for us to determine the current imbalances of your doshas (constitution)
• 3-hour introductory workshop explaining key ayurvedic principles and the detox@home program (available as a recording if you are unable to attend live)
• full menus for your 5-day detox, with recipes and shopping list 
• 4 x 20 min cooking demo videos, full of tips to create the detox recipes with ease, available on vimeo  to watch in your own time
• bonus cooking video with additional recipes specifically for the autumn detox
• chart of foods permitted during the gentle detox and those to avoid
• daily yoga and pranayama program to fuel your digestive fire, unwind your nervous system, quieten the mind, de-stagnate the lymph and increase detox benefits  
• 5 daily zoom Q&A forums, to check-in with your tutors Mouli & Greg, and be supported and inspired by like-minded souls sharing this detox journey
• membership in a Whatsapp forum to keep connected over the curse of the detox, to share ideas and inspirations, and post questions 

What if I cannot do all 5 days with the zoom connections?

The detox@home program takes place in the company of a like-minded community with 5 nights of live Q&A hosted by Dru Ayurveda tutors & health coaches Greg and Mouli, with support from the Dru Australasia Ayurveda team. 

• We recommend that you immerse yourself in the detox over the 5 days 21st to 25th March, as this time around the autumn equinox, is the best time to prepare yourself for the change of season. Checking in each evening at 7pm gives the support, encouragement and inspiration of knowing you are not doing this on your own. We also fully support any individual challenges. 
• However, if you can only make a few of the zoom connections it's OK too. 
  If you’re not able to attend live, you can post your questions to our Whatsapp detox group, and the tutors will respond.
