Hi Yoga friends! I hope you are on your way with week one of the cleanse. I wanted to share a few things as you navigate your way through the protocol for week one. Firstly, please ask questions if you feel stuck, confused or doubt. I am here to help and if I don't know the answer I'll find out for you! I found a very good, cheap tounge scraper on amazon, I don't normally want to suppport them, but I couldn't find a better price and fast delivery time.
Have you been able to have the stewed apples and ginger tea? Just this simple change has made a big difference for me already. I am a total coffee lover and I managed to get my intestines moving without it by following the protocol. I have coffee later now and don't feel so dependent on it. Also, for the movement (asana probably) to work up a sweat, I tried 12 sun salutations and was able to break a sweat. I followed that up by a longer practice but the surya namaskar might be enough for you it only took a couple of minutes. Then, I did my mantra and pranayama that Suzanne taught us. I have to admit, I'm going all in. I followed this all up with abhiyanga, oil massage, and a warm shower. I feel like this routine is do-able and simple. I wanted to share with you because I feel freaking awesome!!!! I hope you are able to follow some or all of these practices without putting pressure on yourselves. You will feel amazing too!
I am putting together a simple yoga sequence that you can follow if you are unsure what to do.
Ok, best wishes everyone!!!!
Gabi
