If you are planning on visiting a detox retreat on the run up to your wedding day, then be assured that you will get a 1 on 1 health consultation at the beginning of your retreat. Retreats can provide tailored, targeted advice to try to help you change for good. Many brides and even grooms, are keen to lose a little weight for their wedding day, so getting involved in a weight loss programme or bridal boot camp, is a great decision. In addition attending a detox retreat, is a great way to kick start your helth regime. Experts say that you may lose between 10 lbs-20 lbs and drop 2 dress sizes in just one week on a 7 day detox. Whether you’re just desperate to shake off a few quick pounds or you’re starting a new, focused, weight loss program and need to lose a substantial amount, detox retreat can help you to kick start your weight loss journey. When it comes to losing weight there is no equal solution that is as effective as fasting. With careful guidance you can reach your weight loss goal, become re-energized, confident and feel fabulous again. Detox holidays are the perfect way to rejuvenate your body, mind and soul. Before you get married and even after your wedding, taking annual detox holidays is just like giving your mind & body an annual service.

Health and fitness
It can give you a complete rest, a full physical cleanse and new ways of looking at your life. Instead of abusing your body, why not try a week of relaxation, fresh air, clean water, nutritious drinks, body work and emotional support in the company of likeminded people. Yoga holidays are a great way to relax and unwind, and works to help you re-energize and recharge your body, mind and life. Every once in a while it is a good idea to go on yoga holidays. A yoga holiday is primarily an activity holiday, the time devoted daily to yoga usually not exceeding four hours, in one, or possibly two daily classes, and you will have time for other activities or just to relax and chill out. The location should reflect this, with a beach or other notable attractions nearby. The atmosphere is often relaxed, and it is usually a great opportunity to meet other people.
