by Leisa on February 9, 2016

I’ve been a huge advocate of fasting for decades, and have studied the benefits of different types of fasts over many years. I’ve experienced the incredible results myself and witnessed it in thousands of people, having worked for more than fifteen years facilitating detox programs where I take groups of people through a naturopathically designed

When we go on our Embracing Health Detox Retreats, yoga is a lovely and albeit important part of our program. For guests that are new to stepping on the mat, this can be a little daunting at the beginning! But what we often find is that after a few days of practicing, the guests come
