Your questions about the cleanse
Is it online and virtual?
Yes it is, you will be fully guided and supported from the comfort of your own home.
Is there anything I need to do to prepare for the cleanse?
It is advisable to have a light dinner the night before, soup or some vegetables, something that is easily digestible.
What exactly is shankaprakshalana?
It is a deep cleansing of the intestines. Through a specially prescribed set of asana (yoga postures) performed in a particular sequence in combination with drinking warm slightly salty water, you perform a complete washing of the digestive tract and intestines.
What are the benefits of this practice?
Shankaprakshalana, elevates digestive problems, tones the liver, digestive organs and glands. It generally strengthens the immune system. It helps relieve inflammation in the body and excessive mucus. Cleansing in this way will also promote skin health and alleviate skin problems. On a deeper energetic level, shakaprakshalana recharges the pranic body, removes blockages, brings harmony to the 5 senses and raises your energy levels.
How will it make me feel?
Initially (first few days) you might feel a little tired but after that the benefits can include feeling lighter physically, clearer mentally, more energy and overall sense of health and vitality.
Will you tell me how to cook the special meals?
Yes you will be given a detailed recipe and a cooking lesson on exactly what you need to prepare.
Are there any contra-indications to the cleanse?
YES! If you’re pregnant this is not suitable or advisable. If you are on medication or have a certain medical condition, please ask it is is suitable for you before booking.
What are the recommended food restrictions after the cleaning practice?
It is recommended that in order to get the optimum benefits from shankaprakshalana, for 3 weeks after the practice it is desirable to avoid all processed foods, soft drinks, alcohol, sweets, very spicy or synthetic foods. Ideally caffeine would also be iliminated or reduced for at-least a week after the practice. The main thing here is common sense. After shankaprashalnaka the digestive system can be sensitive.
Do I need to clear the whole weekend of 25th/26th March?
You need to make sure you can put aside the whole of Saturday for the practice . A quieter day on the Sunday is advisable.
What support will I get for the weeks after the cleanse weekend?
There will be a support group open and available to you for 3 weeks after the cleanse. This is really important for its in these weeks after that the benefits anchor in.
Is this recorded to watch / practice at a later date?
No. This is a live experience only.
Will I be sent a parcel of goodies to support my cleanse?
Yes you will!!
Your body is so happy when you give it space to come into balance. Give yourself the gift of thriving.
Spaces are limited for this one.
I’m Dory Walker
I've dedicated the past 25 years to the study and practise of the transformative power of yoga. For me this is everything about living a full and radically aligned life OFF the yoga mat.
I’m a mum of two, published author, entrepreneur and believer in miracles. You can live the life you desire and share you passion. You can have it all.
A super power of mine is TRUST 💫 A deep trust in life and the knowing that everything is always working out for me.
I am available for a radically aligned life. I listen to and act on the nudges.
Continuing to choose to listen to the nudges has not always been easy, often on paper it hasn't made sense.
And I made a decision a long time ago not to be led by what 'makes sense’ according to societal conditioning, family expectations or any external markers but what feels right. In my heart, in my gut and in my body.
When I get a nudge I jump into things before I can swim - but then it’s perfect I learn to swim.
Never one for rules I have followed my heart. It’s a cosmic and miraculous compass and it’s feels a lot.
I was 22 when I took my first yoga teacher training - which lead onto 9 years of deep practice, study and travel, a peripatetic gypsy following my soul purpose and joy.
My life in those years was abundant with experiences, new horizons, forging deep connections and friendships. Freedom was the thing I prized the highest and so guess what I had it in abundance. What you focus on expands.
I’ve never been a 9-5 er. I have always known with crystalline certainly that wasn’t the life for me. I trust in my creativity, strength and resourcefulness.
I know that the stories we tell ourselves, our core beliefs are powerful. SUPER-POWERFUL. I am intentional about the stories I tell.
As I evolve my life evolves. As I grow my business grows.
I’m 44 now and what I know to be true is that I get to step away from things that are not in complete alignment.
Does it always make sense on paper? NO.
Do I trust the nudges YES? 100%. Rip up the rule book.
Follow the nudges.
Be INITIATED into the life you truly desire.
You’re more powerful than you think, you are infinite, whole and part of the infinite whole.
No permission slip needed.
You do you.
Because in all the billions on this planet.
There is only one of you and will only ever be one of you.
So what are you doing with this one wild and beautiful life?
