A yoga retreat implies a combination of the length of time yoga will be practiced and the location where the practice takes place. A retreat usually includes sleeping over, having meals, outdoor walks, meditation, breathing exercises, chanting, journaling and daily yoga study. It may last a weekend, week, month or more. You may decide to travel to another location, time zone or hemisphere. I’ve gone on retreats in my city, a few hours from my home and at an ashram in India. I’ve tried a weekend and week long stints. And once again, as seems to be the case with yoga, each experience offered me value and learning. Experiment and see for yourself.
Your local yoga studio may offer a half or one day yoga workshop (sometimes called retreats) in their space that focuses on a particular body part like the back or on an intention like cultivating loving kindness. This is an excellent way to check out what an extended period of yoga feels like. The fee depends on the duration of the workshop and the size of the group. The price range for a workshop is $25.00 to $75.00.
