A Detox Workshop For Women in Ubud, Bali: Cycles, Food & Rest

A detox workshop for women at The Yoga Barn

This is a day for the woman who has been handed a plan built for somebody else's body and told to try harder. We spend it on your cycle, on what to eat and when, on rest that is actually rest, and on moving in a way that gives you something back instead of asking for more.

6 February 2021, from 9am to 1pm, at The Yoga Barn in Ubud, Bali.

What we will spend the day on

Most of it is your cycle. Where energy rises and falls across the month, and how to stop scheduling your hardest week against your body instead of alongside it. It is the material I teach most often, and it is the part women want to keep talking about long after we finish.

We go through eating with the month rather than against it. Warmth and heavier food in the second half, lighter and fresher when energy is climbing. No meal plans and nothing prescriptive, partly on principle and partly because I have never met a woman who needed another set of rules to fail at.

We talk about slowing down, which sounds soft and is not. How to actually clear a few days rather than pretend to. What simpler eating looks like when it is built around rest instead of restriction.

And there is breath and movement, gentle stuff, some shaking, a bit of yoga. Most women arrive having pushed hard for a very long time, and nobody has ever told them they are allowed to do less.

Who the day is for

You do not need to know anything about your cycle to come. Most women arrive knowing the twenty eight day version and very little else, which is exactly where I started. Come as you are, in whatever your body happens to be doing that month.

There is nothing to prepare and nothing to buy first. Bring a notebook if you like writing things down.

To read before you come

None of this is required and you do not need to arrive having done any of it. It is here if you would like somewhere to start.
