program

The detox concept is inspired by the pioneering work of Bernard Jensen, Swami Sivananda, Dr. Gerson, and Ragnar Berg in the fields of cleansing, fasting, and natural healing. Since 1992, Moinhos Velhos Detox Yoga Retreat has developed one of the first comprehensive detox programs integrating body, mind, and spirit.

The program supports physical, mental, and emotional purification through juice fasting, yoga, meditation, and alternative therapies. It is ideal for those who want to:

  • Detox and reset the body
  • Reduce stress and anxiety
  • Reevaluate life purpose
  • Lose weight
  • Quit smoking or addictions
  • Maintain optimal long-term health

Participants often experience increased energy, improved immunity, better cardiovascular health, balanced blood pressure and cholesterol, enhanced brain function, and regulated appetite and cravings.

Juice Fasting, Yoga & Holistic Practices

Juice fasting is considered one of the most effective cleansing methods. Seasonal alkaline juices rich in vitamins and minerals help the body eliminate accumulated toxins while replenishing the nervous system. There is also an optional self-administered Clysmatic (gravity-style colonic system) to support deeper cleansing when appropriate. Yoga is central to the detox process. Accessible for all levels, classes combine gentle movement, stretching, twisting, and deep breathing to stimulate lymphatic flow and accelerate toxin elimination. Yoga also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing the body to rest, repair, and heal more effectively. Evening workshops may include sound baths, mindfulness sessions, movement practices, meditation, and Sivananda-inspired fire ceremonies. Guests can also relax by the pool, swim, visit nearby beaches, enjoy the sauna, explore nature, or participate in organic garden activities.

Additional therapies available:
  • Massage (various styles)
  • Acupuncture
  • Thai massage
  • Craniosacral therapy
  • Lymphatic drainage
