2023 Autumn equinox Ayurveda cleanse

This event has passed. Here are some other events coming up...

12 March, 2023
(Registration open till March 2023)

Align with nature’s cycles after summer’s heat and prepare for winter!

Reignite digestion, cleanse body and mind, improve immunity and boost energy!

An opportunity—open to everyone—to join our thriving Ayurveda community from the comfort of home. Enjoy support and encouragement of like-minded friends on our gentle kitcheri-based cleanse.

 

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, this is the time of year our liver, gall bladder and intestinal tract yearn for a good cleanse.­
Cleansing during the still point between summer and autumn makes sure we don't dry out to much, like the autumn leaves!

Ayurveda supports us to dance with the natural rhythms of life. On the cleanse you'll learn to:

  • skillfully prepare recipes that are designed to fully nourish your body while you cleanse
  • practise daily yoga and pranayama to fuel your digestive fire and stimulate the lymph
  • enjoy relaxations and time in nature to unwind your nervous system and quieten the mind

Let's get started! 

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

  • ready for an end of summer cleanse, in preparation for winter
  • signs of lymphatic congestion, water retention or sinus congestion
  • bloating, wind, constipation, heartburn, acid reflux, diarrhea or constipation
  • generalised aches and pains or stiff joints
  • 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 (or 7 days for experienced cleansers) 
  • are self-directed and have self-discipline to follow the cleanse menus and program
  • have time in your days to cook the special cleansing kitcheries with accompanying condiments
  • have no major work commitments or events on the days of the cleanse
  • need a program that fits in with your family life
  • have no serious medical issues

What the Autumn equinox cleanse provides

  • a questionnaire to help us determine the current imbalances of your doshas (constitution)
  • 2 x 90 min evening introductory workshops explaining key ayurvedic principles and the details of our program
    Sunday 12th & Monday 13th March (available as a recording if you are unable to attend live)
  • full menus for your cleanse, with all recipes and shopping list 
  • 5 x 20 min cooking demo videos, full of tips to cook with love, available on vimeo to watch in your own time
  • chart of foods recommended during the cleanse and those to avoid
  • daily yoga and pranayama program to magnify the benefits of the cleanse  
  • Zoom Q&A forum each evening, to check-in with your tutors Mouli & Greg, and be supported and inspired by like-minded souls sharing this cleanse journey
  • membership in a Whatsapp forum to post questions and share ideas, inspirations and challenges  

Getting the best benefit from the cleanse

  • We recommend that you make space in your life to fully immerse yourself in the cleanse program
    20th to 24th or 26th March
    Take leave from work to fully enjoy preparing the food with love and to engage in the full program with yoga, pranayama and relaxations.
    Check in each evening for support, encouragement and inspiration, knowing you are not doing this on your own. 
  • Food is best when made with love and shared
    We learn and experience it together. We connect, bond, encourage and support each other through the live evening check-ins. On this cleanse we are introducing a mix of small group forums and the full group check-ins so everyone may have their say. 
  • 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 group and the tutors will respond. 

Not sure whether it's for you?

  • Scroll way down below to the Testimonials section to read the benefits our returning cleansers have experienced
  • or email ayurveda@dru.com.au for more information

We’ll be offering the cleanse again in Spring 23, with the introductory workshops on the evening of Sunday 10th and Monday 11th September, and the cleanse days 18–24th September, so keep those dates free to join us next time!

I enjoyed the whole experience of the Karma Yoga retreat. Great programme for volunteers. I felt appreciated for work done. Felt that everyone worked as a team. Teachers on yoga retreat were great teachers. 

The venue is stunning. I felt refreshed and inspired to come again to Karma Yoga retreat in near future. I am considering going on Foundation course and possibly teacher training course

Dru Teacher, Nottingham

The course has helped me to understand the ‘nuts and bolts’ of how Dru yoga works. I feel that it has been great for self-development and identification. It has help me progress in future learning and further development. I also feel the course has inspired my teaching by bringing in more koshic awareness.

I feel much calmer and stronger than ever before and love that I now have a gift to share.
