Delicious freshly prepared vegetable-fruit juices are an ideal way to kick start a detox program. It is a safe and effective way to cleanse the internal organs, tissues & cells of your body.

Juicing supplies the body with the finest, easiest to ingest nutrients available and juicing retains 95% of the nutrients in fruit & vegetables! After the Juicing phase the Detoxing Diet, rich in whole foods, will continue to cleanse and nourish your body and ease you into a healthy eating plan which you can continue at home.

Both the Juice Fast and the Detox Diet have been sepecifically designed for the Pension Hoffelner by Julia Alderman BSc, DipION, mBANT. Nutritional Therapist of "Nutrition Coach", London.

Yoga is a vital element in this Detox Program as the practice of asanas (postures) cleanses and purifies our digestive system aiding the elimination of toxins from the body.
The yoga practice you will have the option to participate in will be a progressively built series of postures designed to aid the detox programme with various twists/rotations, forward bends and gentle inversions enabling the digestive system to work more effectively.

The group will be monitored closely and the practice will be adapted to the individuals accordingly. It is well known that our emotions can upset our digestion. The Asanas (postures) will not only aid digestion but induce a sense of relaxation in order to further assist the digestive process. We will also be practising breathing exercises known as pranayama and some meditation tools will be given. All levels of Yoga experience are catered for.

Most importantly, yoga helps to calms us, which in turn relaxes our digestive system and leads to more effective elimination. The habit of treating food auspiciously is emphasised in yoga.

This Detox & Yoga Program has so many health benefits and feels so good that you will feel like you have been given a new lease of life!

GO-Yoga's First YOGA RETREAT in MARRAKESH MAY 2008 a success!

Many thanks to the ladies who joined us in Marrakesh. Our first GO Yoga retreat was a great success! Apologies to those of you who didn't get a space. We are already planning our second retreat later on in the year, in a new and exciting location! More details coming soon.

Read below to hear what the ladies had to say.

As a complete newcomer, I found the trip a most seductive introduction to yoga, amidst the most beautiful sights, sounds and smells of Marrakesh. I have come away completely relaxed, switched off from work and inspired to incorporate elements of the new postures I have learnt into my busy schedule.
Kully Dhadda, MD, PR Specialist co.

Dear Amanda. Thank you SO much for the most wonderful holiday. I truly loved the yoga and the whole trip and can't wait to see your studio.
Eva Huckle, Lawyer

I really enjoyed the retreat. I found it very inspiring having done very little yoga before and am excited to continue back home. I was nervous about being too challenged and was delighted that I achieved a lot of the postures and feel physically great as a result. Thank you so much Amanda.
Cecily Brunner, mum of 4

I also enjoyed the weekend very much - a perfect way to have an introduction to yoga ~ you seem to have quite a few converts!
Laura, Lawyer

I really love your sun salutation and how "fluid" it is. It inspired me to use that as a base in starting my own self practice and I really loved the meditations. Your yoga retreat was also a lovely way to introduce yoga to my friend Carmen in a very inspiring way. Chantal, IT Consultant

Dear Amanda, It was wonderful and certainly a priviledge for me to connect with you, the group and my dear friend Chantal. Now I understand where the joy, energy and love comes from. I found the opening of the spine and flowing relaxing movements most beneficial. I felt the calming breathing right into my muscles - fantastic! You have a really soothing voice and manner of speaking so thanks for the introduction to meditation as well.
Carmen Erwee, IT Specialist

Thank you for a great weekend, lovely group. Well done!
Julie Beecher, Stock Broker
