What is a Yoga retreat & what can you expect ?

Hi community, yogis or well-being curious.

You might have heard it, I am soon hosting a woman yoga retreat in Mazunte, Mexico, in January 2024.

It will be the 5th one I am organizing, and I am already so excited to share this one coming!

But I recently realized that a lot of people were a bit confused about what is a yoga retreat and had no idea what to expect. So here below, I would like to share with you a little insight but also my vision of a retreat.

First, as the name mentioned it, yes there are some yoga classes. But it is not a Yoga teacher training & I reassure you won't do full day yoga. Most of the time it will be probably a class in the morning to energize & maybe one at sunset to calm down. That's it!

Also, you do not need to be flexible or to be advanced yogis to join a yoga retreat, everyone can join! And by everyone, I also mean Men. A lot of men think yoga retreat are mainly for women, but I promise you will enjoy it as much as we do! So, feel welcome! Except, when it is specifically mention, women’s retreat only.

A yoga retreat can also include other extra activities, to explore the place where you will stay, learn more maybe about the culture, learning about other holistic practices, doing other physical activities like hiking, swimming...

A retreat is also a time in which you can take time for you through massage, healing practice, journaling, napping, chilling. A moment when you can ground yourself, make some introspection work.

And finally, for me, it is also a place where you connect with people in the same mindset as you have, creating friendly bonding with people from other nationalities or culture, feeling part of a warm-hearted & fun community.

So, if you had any doubts to join one, I hope I helped you to understand it better & you will maybe give it a try someday!

If you tried one before, share your experience in comments, I would love to have your feedback!

From my heart to yours, Love !
