5-Day Mindful Wellness and Weight Loss Detox | Vietnam Detox

Are you ready for a life-changing experience that will boost your health, happiness, and well-being?

Do you want to learn how to fast safely and effectively? Do you want to practice mindfulness in your daily life? Do you want to explore a new and sacred location in Vietnam where you can immerse yourself in nature and culture?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, welcome to our new 5-Day Mindful Wellness and Weight Loss Detox. This retreat is a unique and transformative journey combining the benefits of fasting and mindfulness, two powerful practices that can enhance your physical, mental, and spiritual health.

You will stay at the stunning M Gallery Legacy Yen Tu, a luxury resort at the foot of the Yen Tu mountain in Northern Vietnam, a historic Truc Lam Zen Buddhism site. Here, you will be surrounded by breathtaking views, a serene atmosphere, and rich heritage.

This retreat is an evolution of our successful 5-Day Rejuvenating Hot Spring Fasting Detox, which we have been running since 2019 at Alba Wellness Valley Hue in Central Vietnam. While our first retreat emphasises the physical benefits of fasting, such as nutrition and longevity, our new retreat focuses on the psychological and spiritual dimensions of fasting.

We have been pioneering “fasting for healthy people” retreats in Vietnam since 2016, and have developed a carefully crafted programme that follows the proven and evidence-based Buchinger fasting method from Germany. But what makes our new retreat special is the emphasis on mindfulness. You will learn what mindfulness is, how it can improve your mood and outlook, and how to practice it in your daily life.

What is a 5-day mindful wellness and weight loss detox?

Our programme is designed around four pillars:

Fasting: First of all, you will follow a safe and effective fasting protocol that includes an intestinal evacuation using Glaubersalt, water and coffee enemas, dry body brushing, liver compresses, Kneipp therapy, fasting broth, vegetable juices, spring water, herbal teas, lime and honey. We will conduct a wellness check-up on arrival and departure days to monitor your health metrics.

Movement: You will keep your muscles active and connect with nature through morning exercise, hiking, nature walks, forest bathing, Yin Yoga, and paddle board yoga. (All outdoor activities are subject to weather conditions)

Rest & Relaxation: Moreover, you will relax and respond better to stress through massage, hydrotherapy, breathing exercises, meditation, Tibetan singing bowl sessions, and forest bathing.

Knowledge: You will attend wellness classes that inspire you and provide useful knowledge for embracing a healthy lifestyle. The classes are conducted in English with Vietnamese translation.
