There are a variety of raw food retreats that have different styles. One may focus more on detoxing and fasting, while another may focus on yoga and learning to make healthful food. They may be held in hotels; bed and breakfast hotels; retreat centers, or at resorts. Others are held in more of a rugged surrounding, such as at a hot springs center where you stay in a tent. Select a retreat based on your comfort level and needs.
