Feeling like you have tried many ways to shed some extra kilos and lose weight? Fads? Diets? Always slowly adding the weight back on and then feeling guilty and inadequate about yourself again?
We can often jump on the next slimming fad with great vibrato and then after a short time we start to sneak back into our old comfortable habits that feel so damn good, even though we know they may not be the best solution for our goals.
We have a wonderful voice within us that can convince of anything. You are at a party, busy from working, tired or emotional and you begin to eat whatever you want and gently slide back to all of your old habits as though the ‘diet’ never happened. It is disheartening and frustrating. The truth is, is that going on a diet is a bad strategy. It does not help people lose weight.
Our Slimming retreat helps you to recognise the right ‘diet’ or foods to eat for your constitution and within the seasons. Once you find the right foods for YOU the body will slim to the weight it is meant to be…and that is not necessarily a size 10!
We also look into your habits and the emotions entangled with them, giving you strategies to unravel these. Learning to love all the parts of you, lose weight, feel freer and more comfortable, as well as prevent some long-term effects of holding extra weight.
The first day: The day of your arrival begins with an initial consultation and a comprehensive examination by Heidi Veraa, Ayurvedic Practitioner. In an extensive consultation, you provide her with additional information on, your stress levels, digestion, elimination, whether you are happy and your sleep quality. Through this we determine your constitution (doshas) and what is imbalanced. This determination is the basis for your Ayurvedic detox and cleanse, diet plan, medicines & cleanses, yoga and meditation and other sessions with our other practitioners and guides.
A daily consultation with Heidi is also part of the treatment schedule. In this way, we can review how you and your whole being are responding to the treatment plan.
Afterwards you can look forward to a soothing full body massage with Ayurvedic oil, which is specially tailored to your constitution, clay body paste and herbal shower given by two therapists.
The treatment plan: On the following days you will receive individual treatments that detoxify the body. This above all this includes the daily massage with a special herbal powder. The special feature of this treatment is that you are synchronously massaged by two therapists.
Traditional medicinal herbs play a central role in this treatment; they unfold their effect in powder massages, oils, infrared therapy, steam baths and eliminating medicines. Individual and varied nutrition supports the treatment.
The detoxifying internal medicines will also be given to remove any undigested metabolic intermediates – toxins known as Ama.
After the treatments we recommend a period of rest so that the effect of the therapy can fully unfold.
The dietary plan: An important part of the slimming retreat is a varied diet tailored to your constitution. Your meals are tasty and support weight reduction.
The relaxation exercises: Your treatment will be accompanied by yoga, meditation and relaxation exercises. Our other practitioners, Esther and Aurora will personally cater deep sessions with you that assist in unravelling the mind and finding the root your habits and what you are holding onto. This is powerful work, transformation happens on a conscious and unconscious level.
The last day: A final comprehensive consultation ends your stay at Sundara. Heidi will discuss the most important results with you and will give you advice on how to cater your way of eating and diet into your daily life. Your personal final Consultation Notes, which you can take home with you, summarizes all the results.
