3 Day Aio Wira Retreat

Fasting is honouring yourself and your wellbeing
The ancients knew the benefits and wisdom of undergoing a fast and it was common practice for physical healing, spiritual alignment, and bodily and mental rejuvenation.
Fasting is our ‘thing’ too
At Aio Wira, we know that fasts work and we believe in them so much that we specialise in them.
It’s good for your soul and your mind – as well as your body
Fasting can help you with a specific health problem as well as being a reset button toward better habits and better health. After a fast, you will experience a renewed sense of energy, relaxation, motivation and focus. This can really surprise people who have never fasted before.
Our fasts are a shared experience
Our focus on caring and community means that we are with you every step of the way – from providing nutritious organic juices and broths, to offering a space for you to exercise, rest, stretch and meditate, or simply hang out and chat with fellow fasters.
We also have a sauna and spa on-site to help you unwind and support the detoxifying process during your stay.
Our facilitators
Instruction and guidance are given by qualified staff who regularly fast themselves.
We are excited to host our team of fast facilitators for the Fasting Season. Each one will bring their own experiences and styles. Please click on their names for further details.

​
Fasts generally last for four or nine days, with a further half day allocated for gently breaking the fast (see below for an example of a typical fasting day programme). Additional body work therapies can also be booked to assist with your relaxation and waste elimination processes (see below for more details).
what you can expect on the fast
The day begins with light exercise.
Every two hours during the fast there is a rotating schedule of fruit and vegetable juices, herbal teas and potassium broth. No solid food is taken for 4 days.
The compulsory activities of the day are:
-
a drink or juice every two hours
-
skin brushing
-
attending the daily group sharing
Every afternoon there is a yoga session followed by a guided relaxation.
The fasting programme includes talks on health and related topics as well as activities for fun and relaxation.
​
The fast is broken with a light breakfast on the last morning and finishes with a light lunch.
Get more benefit
Massages, facials, shiatsu and other types of bodywork are available during the fast. These can be arranged when you arrive at the centre for your fast, with payment being made directly to the therapist. Our preferred therapists are also available if you wish to have a treatment outside of fasts or other retreats. Contact them direct here
