About the Retreat
The Healthy Weight Loss & Yoga Retreat is designed to assist you in your transition to a healthy lifestyle bringing with it the rewards of greater health and wellbeing. By adopting a diet that is both nutritious and delicious, by embarking on a manageable exercise program, by re-educating yourself on how to eat and by addressing the cause of the weight gain long term change is possible.
The Healthy Weight Loss & Yoga Retreat is emphasized as a re-education for your body and mind. During the retreat you will experience the profound inner adjustments that are necessary for lasting change. You will also learn how to change your diet to maintain and build health over the long term. This is the most crucial element for lasting success of any weight loss endeavor.
