What is Raw Food Detox?

A Raw Food Detox is a gentle and safe, low glycemic menu (low/no sugars) with solid plant-based foods, cold-pressed juices, healthy shots, healing teas, herbal smoothies, probiotics. We give you rec-ommendations for supplements and other detox aids, lifestyle habits and therapeu-tic sessions, which enhance the body’s natural ability to remove toxins while at the same time offering full nutrition. The menu is also without nuts, and common allergens and designed to give your di-gestive system a rest and to restore your body and enzymes to an alkaline state of

good gut health. Disease cannot live in an alkaline environment. When you enhance the body’s alkaline state, you enhance the body’s health support systems. All recipes are designed with adaptogenic and medicinal foods, herbs and spices to maximize the hormone balance and the natural detoxification of the body and to promote maximum bioavailability for all nutrients and anti-oxidants. We aim to use fresh, pure, local, seasonal and natural / organic ingredients high in nutrition and water content.

What are the results?

During our detox we want to empower you to gently rid yourself of your busy life-style habits of caffeine, alcohol and sugar, to eat less chemicals and more life giving foods. We teach you how to replace acidic foods like meat and dairy with plant-based options, how to support your organs and

lymphatic system in gently removing tox-ins and reducing craving for things that have been making you sick. You’ll meet a new network of people who at the end of the day want to be healthy for themselves and their families. Just like you!

Ashtanga yoga| By Tonya Ruddick

Tonya Ruddick Tonya is a KPJAYI authorized Ashtanga yoga teacher. She has shared the practice with students in Seoul, Dubai and across the US. She is currently based in Los Ange-les, CA and offers private yoga instruction.

In 2007 Tonya set off to travel the world. It was during this time that she was first introduced to the Ashtanga yoga method. She has been a dedicated student ever since.

Tonya spent the next seven years living in Asia and immersed herself in the study of Eastern philosophy, Ashtanga yoga and vipassana meditation. She continues to travel to Mysore, India each year to study with her teacher, R. Sharath Jois at the KPJ Ashtanga Yoga Institute.

‘’By cultivating attitudes of friendliness towards those who are happy, compassion for those who are suffering, goodwill towards those who are virtuous, and indifference towards those we perceive as wicked or evil,

The mind retains undisturbed calmness’’

What is Ashtanga Yoga?

Ashtanga yoga is an ancient system of yoga that was taught by Vamana Rishi in the Yoga Korunta. This text was imparted to Sri T. Krishnamacharya in the early 1900’s by his Guru Rama Mohan Brahmachari, and was later passed down to Sri K. Pattab-hi Jois, the founder of the Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India. The Institute is currently run by his grandson, R. Sharath Jois.

Ashtanga is a daily method of yoga that involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures. This process generates internal heat which detoxifies and purifies the muscles and organs. The results are improved circu-lation, a stronger and more flexible body and a calm mind.

Ashtanga means eight limbs, indicating that there are eight limbs or steps on the path of yoga, as described in Patanjali’s Yoga

Sutras. These are:

Yama - External Observances; How We Relate To Others

Ahimsa- non-violenceSatya- truthfulness

Asteya- non-stealingBrahmacharya- control of sexual energy

Aparigraha- non-greed

Niyama - Internal Observances; How We Relate To Ourselves

Sauca- cleanliness, puritySantosha- contentment

Tapas- disciplineSvadhyaya- self-study

Ishvara pranidhana- surrender to the Divine
