Retreats

Yoga Retreats are a great way to renew, rejuvenate and let go.  Renewal happens when we leave the confines of daily routine and ritual, sometimes work or school, or our families, and take the time to give back to ourselves.  As we give back to ourselves we return to the source that feeds us and nurtures us spiritually as well as physically.  In turn we feel refreshed and ready to give and receive again.  It is from this place of renewal that our greatest potential for growth can begin. 

On retreat we are able to find rejuvenation.  For some this can be quiet contemplation, for others this includes exploration and adventure, and for many it includes a lot of laughter and fits of giggles.  The laughter that comes from exploring new yoga poses with partners, finally mastering that pose you've been working on forever...and then falling, or sitting down to dinner with your new retreat friends.  A yoga retreat is a fun way to meet new people while sharing your experiences and dreams.  I feel is is one of the safest places for us to let go and just be.  It is also a great way to travel to new places in an environment with an amazing group of people who have given themselves permission to let go of agenda.

Finally on a yoga retreat there are usually minimal distractions, of course this depends on your choice of retreats.  Maybe this is the time that you use to meditate, read an entire book, write a book, try a new pose, an even meet new friends.  It is truely yours to decide and we are all here to hold the space for one another.  No two retreats are alike just as no two people are alike.  As you navigate through the many options for international and local retreats remember to keep an open mind and an open heart and let go of agenda.  You are sure to have an amazing experience.
