Fasting and Detoxification Retreat in Gudur (Tirupati)

About this retreat

This is a two-week, 14-day and 13-night guided fasting stay at Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Tapaswini Ashram in Gudur, near Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. It is for those who want to step away from their usual routine and focus on rest, mindful living and simple daily rhythms. It welcomes people new to fasting as well as those who have fasted before, with gradual guidance. The day is built around fresh fruit and vegetable juices, herbal preparations and an evening vegetable broth, together with gentle yoga and asana classes, pranayama, meditation, chanting and morning and evening satsang. Ayurvedic herbs and Ayurvedic massage are listed, and screen time is kept low. Because this programme involves fasting, guests with health conditions should speak with their doctor and with the centre first.
