Prepare for your retreat

– Don’t wait until last minute to pack: Passport (if traveling internationally)/ Photo ID, Travel Essentials, Jacket, Yoga Mat, Journal
– Get as much sleep as you can before the trip.
– Get there early, if possible.  Getting there a night before or early in the day allows you to settle in and be as ready as possible for the retreat to start. It takes time to shed the stress of work and city life, give yourself time.

–  Put on your auto response … and leave the phone at home (or at least in the hotel room). You deserve this time to yourself. Tell your co-workers, babysitters, parents and friends you are taking time to yourself for a few days. Leave emergency contacts other than yourself for all major issues. Turn on your email auto response.
– Take a day off, if possible, before going back to work – not only will you be so grateful once you arrive back home, but your last day on retreat will be so much more relaxed knowing that you don’t have to go into work the next day.

Plan ahead, but be open to going with the flow. Yoga is not about holding onto old patterns and forcing them to serve you, so don’t try to recreate your normal environment on retreat. The things that might make you feel uncomfortable that show up during travel or even during a yoga practice are the things that can end up being your biggest teacher. 

Get ready to relax and have fun.  This is your yoga retreat.  We always encourage our guests to participate in as many classes as possible, but we also invite our participants to do whatever they need to get the most out of their retreat. It’s our job as retreat coordinators to give you what we think is the perfect balance of yoga, rejuvenation and adventure, but more importantly to create an experience where you are empowered to listen to your heart and take care of your needs.
