Online Spring Cleanse:
March 23–29, 2026
Nourish yourself, attune to the season, and prioritize self care...all with the support of a nurturing community!
You are invited to join Ayurvedic Chef + Health Counselor Meredith Klein this spring for a week-long food-based cleansing experience! The Pranaful Cleanse will help boost your connection with prana (vital life force energy) and invite your body closer to a state of optimal health, with the support of experienced guides and a nourishing online community. The cleanse is a fantastic way to reconnect with your personal intentions, an opportunity to examine and redefine your relationship with food, as well as an invitation to recommit to self-care routines that may have slipped amidst life's many competing demands.
This cleanse provides a nourishing routine and structure that allow you to conserve the energy that would otherwise be spent planning meals and making grocery lists, freeing you up to have more time to tend to the state of your body, heart and nervous system. Our focus is on rejuvenation, not deprivation. We cultivate curiosity and promote adaptability, rather than blindly following rigid rules and protocols.
In a world where we are exposed to toxins multiple times a day – in our food, our indoor and outdoor environments, our water, and more – a regular cleansing practice is needed more than ever before. This type of cleanse is one of the most effective forms of preventative medicine for reducing the accumulation of toxins, which Ayurveda (as well as other medical systems) recognize as the first step in the formation of chronic disease.
The Pranaful Cleanse was designed by Meredith as a hybrid juice fast and Ayurvedic cleanse, to provide an experience that is both effective in facilitating detoxification, while also nourishing for body, mind and spirit. The cleanse is perfect whether you are an experienced cleanser or if this is your first cleansing experience, and is particularly effective for individuals who have struggled with liquids-only fasts or who generally don’t do well with overly restrictive regimens. (Note: juicing is optional and a cooked breakfast option is offered as part of the cleanse plan for those who do not have a juicer or would prefer something cooked or a bit more substantial in the mornings).
Perhaps what people love most about the Pranaful Cleanse is the deep space it creates for personal reflection/introspection, and the opportunity to be supported by a loving, vibrant online community. Each day, you’ll have the chance to connect with other cleanse participants in a live online setting as well as through a private group forum. Meredith’s approach to cleansing is deeply rooted in gentleness and self-compassion. Come experience it for yourself!
Participants in the cleanse often come away with:
- Increased energy levels by the end of the week
- Better digestive functioning
- Heightened mental clarity, curiosity and self-compassion
- Diminished cravings for sugar, caffeine and processed foods
- Motivation to make better food choices, eat more mindfully, and stay committed to self-care
- Deeper connection with true hunger cues and the ability to notice when eating/snacking is driven by boredom, procrastination or other patterns
- Noticeable reduction in chronic symptoms (allergies, arthritis, etc.)
- Ongoing connections with other members of the cleanse community
- Guidance to make food and lifestyle choices that are seasonally supportive
I've led thousands of people worldwide through this cleanse experience over the last 16 years.
Here's what some of them have to say:
"Meredith's cleanses are life-changing. My year doesn't feel complete without them. I have a grown as a person and dramatically improved my relationship with food thanks to these cleanses and Meredith's nuturing presence and guidance. I could never have done this alone." – Kim P., Denver, CO
“I can’t recommend anyone to cleanse with more highly than Meredith! I’ve done so many cleanses but usually don’t stick with the routine or end up in massive spiral of shame. Meredith creates such a gentle and loving container where you have permission to do what fits your life. When she says there are ‘no rules,’ she really means it.” – Janna L., Melbourne, Australia
”I’ve done this cleanse six times and it never gets old. I learn something new about myself every time. Each cleanse reminds me that I’m stronger than my mind tells me. I feel like I’m in such good hands when I cleanse with Meredith.” – Lauren A., Chicago, IL
"I'm a working mom with two kids and didn't think I could do a cleanse with all I have going on. Meredith's cleanse is easy and approachable, and left me feeling so renewed. My family even loved the kitchari and we eat it all the time now!" – Susan K., Pasadena, CA
"This has been a great process and I have a huge amount of gratitude to you for giving me and so many other people your time, energy, knowledge, support and hard work. I never in a MILLION years thought I would do a cleanse and am surprised at how awesome this week has been." – Maegen R., Los Angeles, CA
The online cleanse experience includes three live sessions (also available as video recordings) before, during and after the week-long process to guide your journey, and to provide an opportunity for you to ask Meredith questions and share experiences with your co-cleansers. We also stay connected via a lively private online forum where cleansers build community and support one another throughout the week. Daily morning practice sessions (featuring meditation, movement practices, etc.) are held live on Zoom (and also recorded) and are followed by an interactive “community check-in” where participants can connect in real time to share their experiences with one another.
