5-Day Yoga Detox & Juice Cleanse Retreat
Hosted by the Ananda Marga Yoga Wellness Center in the peaceful countryside of Yujing District, Tainan, Taiwan, this 5-day retreat is designed for anyone seeking renewed energy, deep relaxation, and a fresh start for body and mind.
Rather than treating symptoms, the program takes a holistic approach — combining juice fasting, yoga therapy, wholesome foods, and meditation to create an environment where optimum health arises naturally. Whether you’re looking to eliminate toxins, break unhealthy habits, manage weight, or simply unwind from the stress of daily life, this retreat offers simple yet effective techniques you can carry with you long after you leave.
Set within an eco-village surrounded by organic gardens and a yoga studio overlooking a lotus pond, it’s a place where you can truly disconnect, cleanse, and return home feeling transformed.
What to Expect
This comprehensive program includes daily wellness workshops covering holistic nutrition, detox cuisine, and naturopathic health. Participants practice yoga asanas and guided meditation twice daily, and enjoy two full days of juice and broth fasting to gently reset the digestive system. Detox therapies such as therapeutic mud packs are offered alongside hands-on cooking classes where you learn to prepare health-supportive meals at home. The retreat also features an art therapy class for creative reflection, a visit to natural hot springs, and a guided tour of the surrounding eco-village. Informative and supportive staff guide you through every step, and all meals consist of delicious, nutritionally balanced vegetarian food — with organic fruits and vegetables from the center’s own farm when in season. Accommodation options include private, semi-private, and shared rooms.

Expected Benefits
Participants can expect to leave the retreat feeling lighter, more energized, and mentally clearer. The combination of juice fasting and wholesome foods helps flush accumulated toxins from the body, improve digestion, and kick-start healthier eating habits. Two days of guided fasting can reduce bloating, support weight management, and give the digestive system a much-needed rest.
Daily yoga and meditation practice helps relieve physical tension, improve flexibility and posture, reduce stress and anxiety, and cultivate a deeper sense of inner calm. Many participants report better sleep quality and a renewed sense of mental focus after the retreat.
Beyond the physical benefits, the program equips you with practical knowledge — from understanding naturopathic health principles to learning how to prepare nutritious detox meals at home. The workshops, cooking classes, and supportive community environment empower you to sustain healthier habits long after returning to everyday life.
Whether you are new to yoga and detox or a seasoned practitioner, this retreat offers a meaningful reset — a chance to step away from routine, reconnect with your body, and return home with the tools and inspiration for lasting wellbeing.
