Mary McGuire-Wien

When I experienced my first Juice Fast over 10 years ago, with the amazing, Alison Shore Gaines at Kripalu Center, it was one of the most powerful yogic experiences of my life which, just like the birth of my children, changed how I lived in this world forever. I knew I would make this practice a regular part of my ongoing studies and practice of yoga, and continued to return to cleansing annually or bi-annually as way to return to myself and connect more consciously to the world around me. With young children at home and very busy life in New York City, I found that doing an annual cleanse on my own was, while possible, not even close to the benefits I received from going away on retreat to do my purification practices. I found that getting away from not only the habitual ways of food and eating but even more importantly, the habitual sounds, language, and demands of children and life caring for a family -and getting the support of Alison and her team, was a huge part of what I needed to restore myself. I realized that it was the group support and the separation from my habitual environment that really brought me the spaciousness and clarity and self knowing possible.

Finding a retreat that brought me the safety and the comfort I wanted for myself during a cleanse was a challenge, so I created American Yogini to share and make accessible this incredible practice in a beautiful, modern and pure environment.

It is my intention to provide "space to become spacious" in an atmosphere of safety, beauty, and comfort where this simple act of "non-doing" can be practiced and enjoyed by anyone.

Background
Life long dancer, yogini and the gracious host of American Yogini, Mary McGuire, has been creating workshops and retreats as a way to teach yoga in a whole new way, by taking it "off the mat" and into the kitchens, homes, adventures and even the world of artists around the world. She teaches and promotes a lifestyle of acknowledgment and connection to all we take in to ourselves and all we send out from ourselves: food, cosmetics, music, movement, information and art. In 2004 and 2005, she wrote a weekly holistic living column for am NewYork; a newspaper published by Tribune that reached 470,000 readers daily. Mary is the author of The First Seven Days, a Dancers Retelling: a gift book and CD set for dancers and yogini's of all ages that integrates yoga philosophy with movement and the creation story.

Mary's formal certifications include Yoga TT (both Kundalini and Vinyassa), Kripalu Danskinetics (with Megha and Ken Scott Nateshvar) and Pilates (with the Romana Krysinowska). She has over 2,000 hours of teacher training and 9 years of teaching experience.

Other Programs & Highlights

About Our Raw Juice Cleanses

We offer both RETREATS and HOME DELIVERED Raw Juice Feasts or Raw Juice Fasts

What is the difference between these: A juice FEAST consists of as much juice as you wish during a day: usually up to 6, but possibly even more.

A juice FAST is limited to 2-4 servings of fresh pressed juices each day.

Fasting and Cleansing is not a deprivation but exactly the opposite: a very rich thing you do for your Self. Just as savasana on the mat; this is where the magic happens.

Rest from food, noise, phones, TV and newspapers. Fast from make-up and let yourself just be your perfect self. In fall and winter: warm yourself with stone massage, mineral baths, and warming teas. In Spring and Summer: cool yourself in our beautiful pool and upon the most beautiful beaches in the world. Nourish yourself deeply with yoga and delicious juices. Meditate as you paint, draw, write, knit, crochet, or scrapbook or just rest in the company of women. You will leave with a brand new creation and a brand new "Self." All your own creation.

Purify, cleanse, detoxify and, oh yeah, lose weight. It's amazing how the part about losing weight may be the reason some of us may participate in a fast, or begin yoga initially, but quickly this becomes just a bonus: just one of many happy side effects.. Try a Five day retreat focusing on the inner, centered place we come to know as we fast, practice yoga, resting and healing our psyches, bodies and souls from the physical, visual and audio "noise" and toxins that we absorb in our everyday American life. We "fast" on freshly juiced nutrient dense fruits, vegetables and potassium broth and optional grains. You will enjoy daily yoga, meditation, walks, and guided fasting with experienced, compassionate and certified guides.
