General Information: Katherine is a Sivananda Yoga trained teacher. I attended the Sivananda Yoga Centre in Putney, London for many years. I have also been a student of the teachings of Dr George King, a Western Master of Yoga, since 1992. I have been teaching Yoga since January 2005. I practice Yoga daily and I teach a range of abilities from beginners to intermediate, from very flexible people to people with physical restrictions, chronic illnesses and elderly people.
Yoga, if practised regularly can help with physical flexibility and strength. Most people feel so good after their first class that they want to come back again. Yoga is mentally uplifting, calming and is very good for balancing symptoms of stress.
If you are currently seeing an osteopath, chiropractor of physio therapist Yoga can be a very good complement to these kinds of treatments, for ongoing physical injuries or strains, as it helps to loosen tension in the body and mind.
Feedback from Yoga classes:"I don't feel pressured or hurried. It is within my limits, I am not afraid because I am being sensitively, intelligently and respectfully handled."JM Devon
"I feel helped physically and mentally." SD Devon
" When I first started at Katherine's yoga classes I had a very painful shoulder which had little or no mobility. After a few months of yoga my shoulder had improved immeasurably. Thank you, Katherine! AC Combe Martin
"I am building up good physical strength and feel that my body is becoming nicely toned rather than muscly. I am finding that I deal with some situations more rationally because I can relax my mind prior to responding rather than leaping into things. I'm so glad I decided to take up yoga. I thoroughly enjoy it and am feeling the benefits." JD Devon
"Yoga has helped me with my health, fitness and flexibility and it's changed my body shape"

The rest of the programme below is offered free as part of our commitment to spreading the teachings of the Great Masters of Yoga to help in the upliftment of mankind & to send out positive energy to the world
The inspiration for these retreats are the teachings of Dr. George King, an outstanding Western Master of Yoga and Swami Sivananda (1887-1963) a modern day saint whose motto was 'Serve, love, give, purity, meditate, realise'. He was the role model for the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta centres and his disciple Swami Vishnudevananda worked tirelessly to bring these Yoga Centres into being. Our inspiration, naturally, also comes from the Great Master Jesus who taught the path of Love & Service to humanity.Katherine, Stewart & Jeanne-Claire are all students of the Teachings of Yoga of Dr George King who passed away in 1997 www.aetherius.org
Dr George King knew how to raise the great power of Kundalini, located at the base of the spine, to higher chakras to attain the highly elevated state of Cosmic Consciousness, this state He defined as 'Meditation,' any practices that led to this state were only stepping stones to true 'Meditation' in his eyes. He left a wealth of teachings which can be practically applied to resolve the only energy crisis on this planet , the spiritual energy crisis. Our mission is to introduce people to His legacy and study Hhis teachings to empower ourselves and others to work in spiritual ways to restore harmony on our planet.
Katherine & Jeanne-Claire are both trained Sivananda Yoga teachers www.sivananda.co.uk
Ongoing Karma Yoga programme:
Daily yoga practice including Dynamic Prayer.Concentration and 'meditation' practice ( This is 'meditation' with a small 'm' not the highly elevated state mentioned above ) based on the teachings of Swami Sivananda and Dr George King. It is what George King referred to as going into the stillness.
The study of yogic texts and recordings and their practical application.
Learning how to use yogic practices that invoke positive energy to contribute to the wellbeing of the Mother Earth, yourself and those who live on her immense nurturing body.
Sending healing to Friends and Family.
Receiving Healing.
Visits to our local Holy Mountain Holdstone Down, on Exmoor, charged with energy from The Master Jesus through George King at midnight on July 23rd 1958, to send out energy to our troubled world, your friends and family and other focal points using powerful Yogic practices.
A Daily Karma Yoga activity of your choice to contribute to the wellbeing of our community so that we can continue to spread these teachings.

Cleanse retreat facilitator:
Katherine
Armitage
MLCHom trained in Homeopathy & Holistic Healing at
Katherine is an experienced homeopath, homeopathy lecturer &
yoga
teacher. My mentor, who has inspired me to run these detox
retreats, is Peter Hinde www.bodyelectronics.co.uk
VENUE:
Cranleigh House,
High Street, Combe Martin,
To book please call: Katherine Armitage on: 01271 889325 m.07985928461 for more info see our cleanse slide shows on our detox week page
Who
might want to do
such a cleanse?
Our friend and mentor Peter says: ‘People usually end up
seeing me as a last
resort, so I know when the results come, there is often the feeling
they could
not have come any other way. One look down the toilet at a pan load of
black
rubbery mucoid plaque is usually enough for most people to realise why
they needed
to cleanse.”
Who might want to do this sort of a cleanse:
- People who
have done the rounds, trying therapy after therapy. In such a process
there can be an avoidance of personal responsibility to take healing to
a deeper level. It is one thing to go to a homoeopath once a month and,
as well, to also put a
lot of effort into cleansing the body and to learn techniques that
bring other results.
- People who are
searching, confused as to how much such a process actually does,
because other people cleanse and don't get that much. Well there's
cleansing
and cleansing!
- People working hard on emotional issues and still finding after years that it has had little impact on their physical health. The answer can be to unblock physically.
Richard Schulze, an infamous herbalist, who has helped thousands of
people
regain their health, notes that it is annoying to have such a huge
range of in
depth skills as a natural healer only to find that 80% of people find
their
symptoms gone after doing a thorough bowel cleanse.
The daily schedule is based on the core of the ‘Arise and Shine Cleanse’ of Richard Anderson who cured himself of advanced cancer using similar techniques:
The Shake
Psyllium
husk (bulking fibre) and bentonite clay in 12oz of water. A thick drink
of 2
great toxin absorbing substances.
The
Herbs
3
capsules
of a product called CHOMPER which has been designed to soften and
loosen
material impacted into the walls of the entire digestive system and it
also
seems to pull toxicity from the entire body through the gut wall. With
3
capsules of a product called HERBAL NUTRITION which is a range of high
nutrient
herbs which support the process of cleansing - things such as: kelp,
irish
moss, and alfafla.
The
juices
The
juices are freshly made from non-sweet seasonal vegetables such as
celery,
courgette, cucumber, spinach beet, fennel, kale and wheatgrass.
Wheatgrass juice
is so powerful that it ALONE has many testimonials to the recovery of
health.
These other vegetables provide the alkaline elements which are needed
to help
the body eliminate stored acids which are implicated in so many
diseases. Each
juice is taken with a dose of liquid organic colloidal minerals - a
very
powerful
trace mineral supplement which ALONE has helped many people to visibly
detox
and recover a greater sense of well-being and health.
6:00am SHAKE psyllium & bentonite clay
7:30am HERBS and a liver flush/lemon & chili morning mousse, containing olive oil, lemon or
grapefruit,
cayenne, ginger and garlic.
9:00am SHAKE
10:30am HERBS and a Green JUICE
12:00pm SHAKE
1:30pm HERBS & local walk
3:00pm LUNCH a delicious & appetizing variety of raw salad
vegetables,
sprouted pulses, raw seed pate, sauces and dressings
4:30pm HERBS
6:00pm SHAKE
7:30pm HERBS and a Green JUICE followed by a powerful probiotic drink
full of
live beneficial bacteria
Evenings: relaxation time, DVD’s on related & inspiring topics.
Daily afternoon walk to get the circulation going &
enjoy this area of outstanding natural beauty.
Daily Coffee
Enema:
If you ever get invited to a naturopathic coffee bar - be warned, it
may not be
what you think! At some time during the day there will be a coffee
enema. This
is a well known technique for assisting the liver in its task of
cleaning toxins
from the blood. A powerful detox regime such as this is almost
certainly going
to make a person feel nauseous, headachy, emotional, extremely tired,
unable to
think straight and a host of other possible symptoms as old debris is
shifting
from the body. The coffee enema is powerful enough to make it possible
to
eradicate such symptoms very quickly and carry on with the detox to its
maximal
effect. The coffee enema is not optional! People have failed to
complete such a
powerful cleanse if they have been unwilling to do them.
Coffee
enema testimonial: “The
coffee enema
was for me the most powerful healing experience I have ever had, I have
introduced many people to coffee enemas since that time and I can’t
think of
anyone who has not benefited”. KA Devon.
Other
Activities:
It is also a good idea for participants to get out and exercise, do hot
and
cold showering - to get the circulation going - the nutrients deeper
into the
tissues and the toxins out. An introduction to the cleanse will be
given
on the
first evening to outline the programme. We also have a portable
sauna.
YOGA
Other Therapies: Homeopathy Consultations with Katherine or Reflexology, Massage or Shiatsu Treatments will be available, from local selected practitioners, for a reasonable price to support you, please let us know in advance what you would like.
The
Results:
Almost everyone on such a thorough regime passes quite a bit of dark
green to
black MUCOID PLAQUE - old rubbery material, shaped like the intestines.
This
may also be newer material produced during the cleanse, but none the
less its
expulsion from the body is accompanied by a feeling of relief and often
an
emotional release. There is quite often a spontaneous release of other
areas of
toxicity within the body - there can be chemical smells in the sweat,
breath or
stools for instance.
So many times people feel intense emotion arising for a few hours, then
pass
some mucoid plaque and the emotion dissipates. Generally, people would
complete
the cleanse and feel lighter, cleaner, more energetic, needing less
food, less
gripped by some of their emotional baggage. They could have had any
number of
physical symptoms come to the fore and then lessen in intensity. Some
people
make great changes in their lives that have been overdue - there is a
letting
go on all levels. This is likely to be a fairly long term change,
although more
work may need to be done to get further and deeper results.
For others it is possible to feel other symptoms arising that have
previously
been suppressed, and although there is a release from the body, and an
increase
in health to get to such a place, more work needs to be done over time
to
release these symptoms on a physical and emotional level. It is quite
common
for people to feel all sorts of emotional disturbances after such a
cleanse -
things that have been buried for years come closer to the surface, and
so on
going physical and emotional work is always a bonus.
Peter, our mentor who has run these weeks for many years has not
seen
such a cleanse greatly help people with metal toxicity symptoms -
giving
rise to
multiple sensitivities, autoimmune disease and allergies, for example
someone
with sensitivity to mercury from dental fillings and vaccines or, who
knows they
have a metal allergy, as well as other sensitivities. Although it can
be
an
important release for such people, if metals are the main underlying
cause of
illness then other work needs to follow up or precede a cleanse such as
this.
Is
this the end of
all cleanses?
No.
You can
carry on doing this sort of detox at intervals and still get further
results.
You can do other types of cleanse targeted to liver, kidneys, metals,
or
parasites. This route is a fundamental support to all other therapies.
Essential Information:
The number of participants varies but the maximum is 6 people.
This retreat takes place in the supportive & homely environment of Cranleigh House, run as a Healing Centre in the 1960’s Cranleigh House is a large comfortable Bed and Breakfast with a ‘healing tradition’. We are not a luxury spa! Our large kitchen is a happy place. Everyone, on a rota system, helps to prepare and clear away lunch, which is all part of the learning and healing process. It is a good time to connect with the other people in the group and usually leads to some fascinating discussions and information sharing. It is also the way to learn thoroughly about all the elements of the cleanse so that you can repeat the process at home. Juices are prepared for you.
Each
cleanse retreat is
unique to the people who attend. You are likely to be joining a group
of like
minded individuals sharing similar goals, consideration of other people

TESTIMONIALS from our previous detox retreat weeks:
‘It was great to come back a second time. ..Just thinking for future weeks, might be an idea to create a recipe book. We had so many different combinations this week, which were really successful, would be good to record that.’ AD Bristol
‘I was fed up with my
weight. I’d better not
tell you how much money I have spent on diets, therapies &
counselling in
the last two years. This is in the end is
cheaper’.
(Answers from our post detox questionnaire)
Question: Have the process and the results of the detox been what you had hoped for? ‘Entirely’
Question.
Has the accommodation
& level of care been to your satisfaction? ‘Superb’
I
will be back! If you want me. RD
‘I was looking for direction & inspiration on a spiritual, mental, emotional & physical level. All of these I feel have been touched this week. I am so grateful & joyful to have been part of this process. I have gained a greater & deeper understanding into myself and through the mirroring of my spirit & body I have had profound realisations. Accommodation: Great, comfy. Food: really good & creative. MS London
‘The detox is what I wanted (based on my previous experience of a detox). It was more intensive in some ways, which was a little daunting to begin with but I soon became very comfortable with. I think the week ran very well and everyone helped join in with communal things. I was very happy with the accommodation, a very homely atmosphere, I felt at home very quickly, thank you. EA London
It was a pleasure sharing the company of so many wonderful & caring people, all with a common purpose. All in all, the start of something really beneficial’. GD Sunderland.
My time doing the cleanse with Katherine,
Stewart
and Peter has been
unexpected in so many ways. The first surprise is that I didn’t get any
severe
physical reactions, and discovered that cleansing can be an enjoyable
process…..
The other treatments available have facilitated those of us who wanted,
to take
the detox to a deeper level, leaving me feeling both physically and
spiritually
lighter. The overall experience has been a combination of a cleanse, an
education
in health and nutrition and a holiday in beautiful
It has been wonderful to feel my
creative urges bubbling up – I have written a long overdue newsletter
which
will go out on Monday.
The week has fed my soul – with time
to meditate, interesting people, and the stunning walks. It has been
easy to
feel a great sense of peace here.
AJ Cambridgeshire
This was the best week yet. Your attention to everyone’s needs never ceases to amaze me. The company, the good walks, the food compensate for those horrible drinks that one could so easily give up on. AD Bristol

For
me
your tutorials have been an incredible exploratory space which has
helped me
and I feel everyone in the group to personalise their own form of
homeopathy. It is place where I feel I have brought together
and
consolidated my thoughts feelings and knowledge so that I really own
it. I
love that you have the versatility to allow the tutorial to roam onto
new and
often challenging territory and that you are able to bring the whole
group on
the journey. I have really enjoyed being able to explore things in such
depth
and to integrate the experiences and insights of the group with my own
and this
has added an additional dimension to my learning. I also really
appreciate the
way in which you incorporate and enable us to incorporate other
disciplines and
seemingly disparate elements of our lives into our understanding of
homeopathy.
In
addition to that, which ever group I have come to has always felt
welcoming and
inviting, at once full of energy and ideas and relaxed.
Thank
you. Catherine.
With
regards to your tutorial groups, I have found them really useful this
year. You
were very supportive through my crisis of faith in homeopathy and
helped me to
see that it was perfectly normal at that stage of the course and that
it would
pass with time (which it did). You gave me some excellent advice and
information when I discussed my cases in the group and your pointers
were duly
used and helped move each case along. I have found you to be unbiased
and
sensitive in your comments and opinions, and also a source of
seemingly
unlimited knowledge! I think that you are also great
at allocating time
fairly and equally to the members of the group.
Sally.
Your
chairmanship ensures that all students feel at ease and
able the benefit from contributing, listening and reflecting.
I have never felt pressured or inadequate and your obvious love of
homeopathy
is inspiring.
Iinitially I was disappointed that I was the only 1st year student but
within a
few months I began to feel confident.
I have chosen you again for year two as I am sure I will continue to
benefit and grow.
Debbie.

"This weekend is a spring board that has brought much yearned for impetus into my life and thanks to the glimpse of freedom and joyous lucidity provided I am able to embrace experience -the experience that is life- with renewed zeal and with well founded enthusiasm. To Katherine and Stewart - it was the consistency of your hospitality and your attention, followed by dedication to all wants great and small that I most admired.

The course, what can I say, I hope I never lose the new concept of awareness and of the ability to love, which I have gained & only hope I can expand on that from the small perception, which I have...
