A 7 day Ayurvedic programme inspired by my book “Balance Your Agni”
The virtual retreat will run from a private instagram account and ZOOM. All classes and materials will be available to watch on catch up during the week and for 3 weeks after. A copy of the book is recommended to accompany the retreat - if you don’t have a copy already, you can purchase one for a reduced price of £5 from me once you have signed up for the programme.
In Sanskrit - Agni translates as digestive fire. According to Ayurveda the root cause of all disease is an incorrect digestive fire. This is therefore one of the most important principles on which we can base our learning and understanding of Ayurveda. During the 7 day virtual retreat you will receive tools and knowledge to guide you on a journey towards understanding Ayurveda on a practical level to achieve not only better gut health, but a deeper healing for the mind, body and soul through a programme that will encompass delicious Ayurvedic inspired recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, daily guided meditations, a number of informative talks and Q&A sessions on the topics of Agni, Doshas, an introduction to Ayurveda and Ayurvedic Self Care practices. There will also be a group guided reiki healing, a sound bath and for our moevment element we will this year be joined by the wonderful Chloe Hodgson ( Bamford, Deliciously Ella) for a series of Pilates classes to help stimulate and build our digestive fire and core. By the end of the seven days my wish is that you feel balanced, rested, revitalised with more energy and better sleep. Not only this you will have built a powerful toolkit of knowledge to help you stay in balance in the months and years ahead.
I've been wanting to work with Claire for ages, but have been a bit anxious about trying, until last week.
I finally took a baby step and tried her virtual Balance Your Agni retreat, and it was incredible.
I loved the routines and having something beautiful and inspiring to look forward to every day.
The recipes were delicious, and the remedies really made a difference. It was evident that Claire puts a lot of love and attention into making her retreats very special.
I've learnt a lot about myself over the last 5 days - good and bad. And my body really feels different - I've also already (one day later) realised some food/ drink items that might not work with my digestive system anymore.
My plan is to incorporate this way of living into my week and definitely follow up with more 121 work with Claire.

2022 HAS BEEN QUITE A YEAR! I know for so many people it has been quite a rollercoaster. January always feels like a natural time to press reset and in Ayurveda the very best way to do that is by addressing any issues with our gut and digestive health. The word AGNI means our ‘digestive fire’.
This retreat is inspired by my book Balance Your Agni - which is all about the importance of creating good health through good digestion and the improvements you can see in your mind, body and spirit when you do this.
WHAT IS IT? A 5 day plan that offers gentle yet practical and effective tools and expertise to help you implement real change to your body and mind, with a focus on rebooting the digestion as Ayurveda sees this as the pathway to all healing.
WHAT IT’S NOT: This is not a diet plan and will not involve calorie counting! No complicated equipment is required and no expensive supplements or gadgets are needed for you to complete it.
KEY INFO: The retreat takes place online - and you do not have to attend the live sessions to benefit. Everything will be recorded and posted onto the private instagram page each day for you to take at your own pace. The whole retreat will stay up for 2 weeks afterwards so you can catch up or repeat anything.
WHAT’S ON OFFER
GUIDE: Before the retreat starts you will receive a PDF guide for the whole week, including the schedule of events for each day, recipes, remedies, daily affirmations and a shopping list of food or store cupboard items you will need
Manuela Roche Schulle
Qi Gong: 3 x 30 minute videos designed to help strengthen your digestive system and encourage elimination of toxins plus gentle breath work and stretches. Suitable for all levels but not during pregnancy due to the nature of some of the movements and twists. I am delighted that we will be joined by the wonderful Manuela Roche Schulle who will be expertly guiding us through 3 session during the retreat. Remember all these are recorded so you can catch up in your own time,
RITUALS AND MEDITATION: Each day is framed with a series of routines and rituals to guide you and help foster a sense of calm and wellbeing. Each morning you will wake to a new, short guided meditation and affirmation for the day ahead. Previous participants have always found these to be so helpful in clearing unwanted emotions and baggage as well as calming stress and cortisol levels in the body.
SOUND BATH: At the end of the 5 days I will host a live Crystal Bowl Sound Bath, a deeply relaxing and restorative sound healing to help incorporate all you will have learned and experienced during the week. The perfect way to end our seven days together!
RECIPES: Delicious recipes and home remedies to help balance your digestion ( Agni) and help boost your immunity (Ojas) and help the body come into balance
HEALING: I always try to incorporate a variety of tools for healing and wellbeing as part of my retreats. On this retreat I will be working with Reiki to lead you through a guided Reiki meditation healing to bring you back to your magnificence. Removing the programmes and limiting beliefs which hold you back so you may align back to your soul path, revealing your inner flame and ancient knowings. I will be holding this live healing session for you to create sacred space for you to expand your connection to your higher self but also to breathe light into your cells, transmuting toxicity and reigniting your inner flame.
SUPPORT: You can send me questions anytime during the week and I will cover these at the Q&A session. We also kick off the week with a group ZOOM- put the kettle on, say hello and start the week of events with a short talk from me about Agni and Ayurveda and a chance to wave to each other!
RITUALS: Each day is framed with a series of routines and rituals to guide you and help foster a sense of calm and wellbeing from Abhyanga massage to journaling. Each morning you will wake to a new, short guided meditation and affirmation for the day ahead. Previous participants have always found these to be so helpful in clearing unwanted emotions and baggage as well as calming stress and cortisol levels in the body.
