The 3rd Bi-annual San Franshakti Ayurvedic Cleanse

Hosted at The Mindful Body of San Francisco
April 16th - 26th, 2011
Hosted at The Mindful Body of San Francisco
Nature provides Spring as a natural time for detoxification as the
weather warms and cleansing greens, sprouts and berries are abundant!
Spring is the easiest time of year to detox and teach our bodies to burn fat for fuel as their meant to. Just as animals would come out of hibernation and shed their winter layers, so can we! Following nature's guidance and listening to our bodies, a revitalized body and mind are only ten days away... The San Franshakti Cleanse is a 10-Day gentle detox and digestive rejuvenation program. Using techniques that have been successful for thousands of years, you will remove physical & emotional toxins due to poor digestion, and nurture the body with nutrient rich food & wellness practices. This complete 10-Day Cleanse will give you the support and tools you need to refresh and revitalize your body & mind and continue with a healthy and joyous year! This year you will have the option to schedule a short consultation with me. See Add-On section for more information. For most effective cleansing, the 10 Days are broken into three stages: Pre-Cleanse where the body and mind are prepared to release toxins effectively, the Detox Days where a traditional Ayurvedic cleansing diet is employed to calm the nervous system while deeply detoxifying the body, and the Post-Cleanse where we naturally kindle the digestive fires of the body so that the efforts of the 10 days can carry us into a sustainable routine.

One of the most revered body treatments in Ayurveda, in a Shirodhara treatment a warm continuous thread of oil is poured onto the forehead to take you into a deep state of peace and calm. This is preceded by Tibetan Marma Point Massage that allows the muscular body to unravel and release any tension before the Shirodhara treatment. After the Shirodhara, you will be presented with ayurvedic tea and a delicious rejuvenative treat designed to assist the body in deep rejuvenation. Shirodhara is a great treatment for chronic headaches, insomnia, anxiety and nervousness. This is especially indicated for stressed people who have difficulty "slowing down." Profoundly relaxing and deeply nurturing, this treatment allows you to surrender. ...special Cleanser price of $115

For the past two years, I have been trying to figure out what flares up my eczema by working with my doctor and acupuncturist. Amazingly, this cleanse cleared it up! I have such a sweet tooth with major cravings after I eat or really anytime during the day/evening. My job can be stressful, where I notice I am an emotional eater. When the stress arises, I am snacking on something! The cleanse helped me to subside the sugar cravings and this emotional behavior. Kate, I am so glad I signed up for the Autumn Cleanse and am looking forward to the Spring Cleanse!" "It has been five days now post cleanse and I feel fantastic and come away with a deeper understanding of my body and how the time of day, the seasons and my cycle of aging all can be beautifully and healthfully honored with foods and spices! I am so very lucky to have found Kate and can't wait until the next cleanse!" "I can't believe how "GOOD" I feel. I am so grateful for having had this opportunity. Thanks Kate!! I have been "suffering" with seriously VATA symptoms for this entire year, each month getting worse. I tried doctors, acupuncture, exercise, pills, herbs, etc. and nothing was working. THIS worked and makes so much sense because it is rooted in nature. I actually had a check in call with my doctor today, whom I had spoken to about 2 weeks earlier complaining about all my aliments. She had a whole blood work panel done on me and was going over it on the phone, saying that the test are coming back fine, she wants to run some more tests...and I told her I am feeling 99% better. I told her what I was doing and she agreed that natural medicines/therapies are the way to go. :) [I've ] Learned a lot over such a short time. Looking forward to getting the cookbooks and exploring more!" "I feel clear and light and grounded at the end of the cleanse. Knowing what kinds of foods will nourish me in Winter is comforting as I move into this season that can be challenging physically and emotionally. Thank you." "What an incredible experience...Your endless support with the helpful discussion board posts and responses as well as your thoughtful personal emails was above and beyond. And the workshop was a wonderful opportunity to learn how to incorporate Ayurveda into our lives and get to know fellow cleansers - a great community experience! I would highly recommend this cleanse to anyone! Thank you Kate and San Franshakti!" |
