Fasting | Aio Wira Website

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:

Every afternoon there is a yoga session followed by a guided relaxation.
