What people are saying..
"The quick cleanse retreat at Pure Connection was the perfect weekend. It's really a yoga and spa retreat with a side of a cleanse. Having everything laid out with a busy schedule made the tough moments fly by. The cleanse was thorough and effective while the treatments and sauna were sumptuous! Not to mention, Katherine's yoga expertise shines thru with the perfectly progressed yoga sessions. I highly recommend doing the retreat with a group of close friends to amplify the experience". AH
"I can’t say enough good things about Pure Connection’s yoga detox cleanse weekend! Don’t hesitate: JUST DO IT!" SC
"I was lucky enough to be in the very first ever yoga detox cleanse retreat weekend. I am an avid yogi but have never done a supported detox cleanse. Katherine who created this retreat package has done a huge variety of cleanses multiple times a year over the past decade (or longer!) at high end spas, healing centers and yoga retreat centers all over the country, Canada and Mexico. She was skillfully able to combine her own experiences with supported detoxes, with her talented expertise in massage, facials, foot soaks, and sauna sessions to create the most wonderful healing experience IN SKAGWAY! For a local, like myself this is a first. Anything similar would require a week of travel for a simple weekend retreat. To have THIS in our own back yard is a godsend!
The way she builds the schedule each day is completely dialed in to what your energy level will be as the cleanse/detox progresses. The daily yoga classes get progressively gentler and more therapeutic as your energy level declines with the lack of food inherent to a cleanse. Yoga is her gift to us all and to have such rich and connected classes as the back bone to the weekend is worth its weight in gold.
Each day is regimented as far as a schedule for yoga, supplement timing, green juice for lunch and a warm comforting soup for dinner. The yoga and supported detox would be good alone, but she packs each day with self care which features a full hour deep tissue massage, an ionic foot bath soak, your choice of a Bellanina facial or (I can’t remember the choice cuz all I can remember is how amazing the facial felt and the sticky honey mask massage that made me laugh but felt oh so good when it all was done), hand massage and to top everything off daily access to an infrared sauna which you can enjoy at any time several times a day. The use of the sauna really helps move the toxins out of your body and accelerates the healing you will experience.
The best part of the retreat is the complete feeling of relaxation and escape Katherine facilitates and the beautiful home where the retreat takes place makes it easy to unwind and relax. It was easy to forget about everything that needs to be done in life and focus on the present moment. She creates a beautiful escape in the heart of our own little community.
The small size of the group (we were 3 in total) means it is easy to focus on yourself without the distraction of a lot of people and varying energy levels. Each micro group easily can get into the same energetic groove of self care, introspection and healing together.
You will have access to the house whether you stay onsite or elsewhere which means you have access to the sauna, a really amazing chi machine, self help books, yummy comfy couches, and a fabulous deck and yard to enjoy if the weather cooperates.
You could pay thousands of dollars to travel thousands of miles to do the same thing elsewhere. For Skagwegians, Yukoners or Southeast Alaskans this is a gem of an opportunity you shouldn’t miss! JUST DO IT! I can’t wait to do this again:))). Thank you Katherine and Pure Connection!!! SC
