Detoxification is one of the first steps in "getting a fresh start"; its like cleaning out the back of your refrigerator. Before you can have a clean refrigerator, you must first take all the old stuff out, right? And with all the available cleansing products and diets around it can be confusing to choose one. Then, you need to find out which foods work best for your body to begin restocking! Ayurveda, the oldest system of medicine continuously practiced on the planet, has the answers to understanding your unique constitution and finding balance.
In this workshop you'll learn the whys and hows to properly cleanse your body of toxins and habits that keep you feeling low in energy, over-weight, susceptible to illness, or just stuck in a rut that's not working for you. We will discuss the basic principles of this Science of Life, Ayurveda, to help you learn how to maintain a healthful way of being on a daily basis, which is referred to as dinacharya, your daily practice.
We will thoroughly explain two different types of cleansing protocol and assist you in determining the one that will work best for you. We will discuss the different types of ayurvedic bodywork treatments for cleansing and rejuvenation and their use in a traditional ayurvedic healing retreat called panchakarma. You will leave with a better understanding of how to food and lifestyle can assist you on your path to becoming healthy in body, mind, and spirit.

Kim's Bio. After my first years of college, I began to look for a career in which I would feel like I was making a difference in the world each day. Like a bolt of lightning, it struck me-massage therapy. I attended Praxis College of Health Arts and Sciences in 1997 to train in massage and hydrotherapy. During the two year training I was first introduced to Thai massage, and I fell in love. After several years of practice in the massage field I was drawn to further my career with yoga teacher training at Kripalu Center. It was at Kripalu that I found my next great love in ayurvedic bodywork. It was no surprise when I realized that these two had common roots. I completed the Kripalu School of Ayurveda in 2006, and added ayurvedic consultations to my work at Kripalu. After almost a decade of practice in the healing arts, I traveled to India and Thailand in 2007 to complete more advanced training and to meet the motherlands of my two great loves. I currently travel and teach with my partner, Terrel, to spread the healing power of massage, yoga, and Ayurveda.
Terrel's Bio. My experience in the healing arts started with myself in 1992 when I started exploring healing my emotional state through nutritional cleansing. For over 10 years i was a nutritional consultant. During this time, in 1997, I was trained as a Kripalu yoga teacher, and currently have a professional yoga teaching certification. The next year I added massage therapy, followed by thai massage, and then a degree in herbal medicine to compliment my consulting. In 2001, a year after my initial Thai massage training with Jonas Westring, I traveled to Thailand to train with his teacher, Pichet Boonthamme. After walking away with a rich experience and deeper confidence in myself and my potential as a Thai bodyworker, I began to integrate Thai massage into Whole Being Therapy, my creative expression of what healing arts can be. In 2005, I trained with Paul Cramer, a teacher from the Lotus Palm School of Thai Yoga Massage, and in 2006 I graduated from the Kripalu School of Ayurveda. My practice also includes Ayurvedic massage and consultations. In 2007 I returned to Thailand for another experience with Pichet and I ventured to India for advanced Ayurvedic trainings. I currently travel and teach with my partner Kim, and I look forward to offering the gifts of Thai massage and Ayurveda to all those interested in these amazing healing arts.
