The retreats provide the opportunity for the instructor to get a better sense of your strengths and weaknesses. In this way, he will have the idea on how to guide you. It would also be beneficial if you have attended a yoga class with the instructor before the retreat. This is for you to have a better confidence that their teaching style and approach will meet your needs. 5.Is knowing someone else who is going on the retreat enable me to get the best out of it?

Also, through the yoga retreat you’ll be able to learn new techniques, and above all, have fun. 6.What kind of clothing should be wore during the retreat? Casual, comfortable clothing would be best. But if you are traveling somewhere unfamiliar, you can check with the retreat organizer the local weather of the place. This is to ensure you on the appropriate clothes to wear. However, in some cases clothing requirements are likely defined especially if there will be religious services. 7.What are items should be brought on the retreat? Yoga retreats vary, some are like camping, in hotels, and others are closer to the resorts. Therefore, please ask your retreat organizer on the things you should bring. You might be advised to bring some special items like flashlights, bathing suit, yoga mats, etc. Be sure to inquire about necessary passports and visas if traveling overseas. Hopefully now you will be ready and planned for your retreat. Make sure you remember the main reason why you are attending...that is to learn, relax and have a whole lot of fun
