Are you losing your hair? Perhaps you have dandruff or an overly oily scalp? Does your skin break out in pimples, boils, cysts or itchy rashes? Do you suffer from eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, or keratosis pilaris (chicken skin)? If you answered yes to any of the above, you have a stagnant lymphatic (sewer) system that […]

Human beings did not arrive in this world as we are now. We are the product of millions of years of slow, methodical adaptation. Every structure in our bodies, every enzyme, every instinct, every digestive process has been sculpted by an environment that looked nothing like the society we live in today. Whether one looks

Do you experience cold feet or cold hands during your detox? Let’s dive right into the meaning behind and learn what really happens in the body and what you can do if this happens whilst you’re detoxing. What is actually happening when we feel cold during detox 1. Energy is redirected inward During detox, the

Have gone through multiple detoxes, tried different protocols or tried water fasting? After a cleanse, did you feel ecstatic for a while but then you felt toxins building up and going back to the same symptoms or issues that made you want to detox in the first place? In this blog post we are going

Stay grounded, stay connected, stay present. The festive season is celebrated around the world as a moment of connection, joy, and abundance. Yet research shows that it’s also one of the most psychologically stimulating times of the year. According to the American Psychological Association, 38% of people report increased stress during the holidays, often due

A true detox must include the intestines, also known as the bowels. This is the body’s main channel for the elimination of toxic waste, which is why it’s so important to your wellbeing that you get started focusing on this system. The small intestine is where digestion and the absorption of nutrients takes place. The

Kundalini Yoga is often called the yoga of intuition, inner power, and awakening. But beyond the mystique, it can be incredibly simple: breathe, move, and feel your own energy becoming clearer and more alive. This guided practice (shared in the video below) is a journey through the spine, the breath, and the heart. It’s not

Are you afraid of sugar? Are you afraid of fruits? There is a lot of controversy when it comes to the subject of sugar. But one thing is for sure and that is: Glucose is the main source of fuel for our cells. In this blog post we explore the difference between sugar found in

There comes a moment in a yoga journey when something subtle begins to stir. It doesn’t usually arrive as a bold declaration or a dramatic shift. More often, it’s quiet — a soft tug somewhere in the chest, a thought that returns when you’re rolling up your mat, or a whisper that appears in stillness:

Parasites and bacteria seem like scary little creatures. But they aren’t the enemy. Parasites come where there is food and a home for them. In fact, if we have parasites its mainly because of the food we’re eating. The role of parasites and bacteria in nature is actually simple, they consume waste. For example, if

Something happens when you arrive in Thailand. The moment you breathe in the warm, jasmine-scented air and hear the distant temple bells, your whole being begins to exhale. The body softens, the mind slows, and suddenly the rush of the outside world feels very far away. For centuries, Thailand has drawn seekers from around the

Imagine if your attitude could literally change your biology. It might sound far-fetched, but emerging fields of science are proving exactly that — that the way we think and feel can transform our health at the deepest cellular level. Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI – the study of how the mind, nervous system, and immune system interact), over

How the 200-Hour Training Emerged The idea of a 200-hour yoga teacher training (YTT) is so widespread today that it almost feels timeless. Yet it only came into being in the late 1990s, when Yoga Alliance began to set standards for yoga education. The aim was to create a common foundation — to ensure new

At Ananda Yoga and Detox, our signature detox program is our 7.5-day detox, which we affectionately call “The Transformer.” We believe that 7.5 days provides the optimal, yet achievable, detox duration. People often ask why 7 days, and what’s the purpose of the additional 0.5 days at the end. As we all know, detoxing and

Most people think Yin Yoga is simply “long, slow stretching.” But beneath the stillness lies an intricate world of connective tissue, nervous system responses, and stored life experiences. In Yin, we’re not just working with muscles—we’re entering the realm of fascia, the body’s living web that holds, supports, and remembers. My own journey into this

At Ananda Yoga and Detox Center, we’ve designed our detox program schedule over the years to provide you with the ultimate support and ensure your success on your journey to optimal health and wellbeing.

When it comes to colon cleansing in Thailand, Ananda Yoga and Detox Center stands out with its comprehensive detox program featuring daily colemas. This treatment offers numerous health and wellness benefits, making it a vital component of our detox retreats. The colon, also known as the large intestine, hosts 100 trillion microbes and is responsible

Most people think yoga is about perfecting the pose.The truth? Transformation happens when you show up—day after day—whether you feel strong, tired, inspired, or uncertain. As the Ashtanga master K. Pattabhi Jois famously said: “Practice, and all is coming.” It really is as simple—and as profound—as that. At Ananda Yoga & Detox, our weekly schedule

Parasitic infections are an unfortunate reality that can affect anyone, regardless of age or health status. These unwelcome organisms feed off the nutrients in our bodies, leading to a host of unpleasant and sometimes debilitating symptoms. As the warm summer months approach, it’s an especially important time to address the presence of parasites and take

We can’t stress enough the importance of offering our bodies a recess from our daily overconsumption of food and beverages. Throughout the year our bodies accumulate toxins, both physical and emotional. We eat the wrong foods, drink the wrong drinks. We over occupy our minds with negative thoughts and stress and fear.
