Why invest in a yoga retreat

WHY INVEST IN A PERSONAL YOGA RETREAT 

1.Create Time

Time is always in short supply. Yoga retreats are often described as holding space but they can also hold time. Time to think, to move, to play, or to just exist. Time to be outside of the daily grind long enough to see the bigger picture. Obviously a yoga retreat is an opportunity to immerse in yoga practice and go deeper. BUT there are many many more reasons we choose to retreat, here are some of the less obvious and usually the biggest motivation 

2.Pressing Pause On Your Responsibilities

Whether you’re a parent, business owner, or employee, we all have multiple responsibilities and commitments. Sometimes, this can all get a bit much and make us feel like there is always someone wanting or needing something from us.Unfortunately, our everyday home life doesn’t make it easy for us to switch off from these responsibilities. This constant need to be “on” can make us want to run away and never return. One of the biggest benefits of yoga retreat is the chance to take a much-needed break from our demanding work schedules, responsibilities as parents, partners, and friends, and other commitments a time to focus solely on ourselves and no one else, giving us the rare opportunity to put ourselves first.In addition, yoga retreats allow (and encourage) us to slow down. This is different from normal vacations and weekend city breaks which can be just as fast-paced and hectic as everyday life and not really a break at all.

3.Disconnecting From Technology

Because we don’t have to deal with our usual responsibilities, another of the benefits of a yoga retreat is that we can switch off our phones, leave our laptops at home, and significantly reduce screen time. Disconnecting from technology is vital as the more connected we are online, the less connected we are with ourselves. As we do this, we instantly become more present, noticing and appreciating what is happening around us more. Taking a technology or social media digital detox also helps to “reboot” your brain, reducing anxious and negative thoughts and replacing them with positive energy.

4. Being Immersed In Nature

Mother earth is good for reducing stress, increasing creativity and problem-solving skills, and even fostering feelings of love, empathy, and belonging. Discover new and unspoilt destinations and cultural experiences.

4. Recovery 

Either emotional healing from a break up or  major life changes. Recovery from a physical chronic  illness or a burnout from over work and stress. The time and space to focus on yourself can be the start of a a recovery journey and a BIG healthy first step forward.

5. Time To Assess And Evaluate Your Life

A yoga retreat’s quiet, distraction-free environment allows you to reflect on your life and learn more about yourself. A yoga retreat offers the perfect opportunity to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective.By doing this, you might find that your problems are smaller than you thought. Or an idea or solution may come to you, prompting you to make a change.

6. Meeting Like-Minded People

You’ll likely find everyone on your yoga retreat is there for the same reasons as you; to learn more about yoga, take a break from life, and nourish their mind, body, and soul. Thus, you’ll instantly find you have tons in common with everyone and will quickly build friendships.
