What Is a Wellness Weekend Like?
A Wellness Weekend retreat at the Prama Wellness Center combines all the elements of our 3 Day Juice Cleanse Retreat except the juice cleanse. Our Wellness Weekend holistic retreat provides yoga classes for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. It does not matter whether you’ve had any yoga classes before — we’ll help you get started with ease. Our instructors are well-trained and experienced. You will have daily yoga and meditation classes. During the weekend you will enjoy delicious wellness meals the whole weekend. Our chefs work magic in the kitchen and create appetizing meals that are gluten free, vegan, sugar free, and are healthy and nutrient dense. Even though you will not be juicing, your body will still detox and feel the benefits of the healing food.
