If you are looking to participate in a yoga retreat, before embarking on a new journey it is advisable to firstly ask yourself what you would like to achieve and to then research the location of the retreat, the programmes and activities.

The main concept is to align the mind, body and spirit to achieve a balance and in order to evoke the optimum level of balance amongst these three key elements, exercise, meditation and breathing forms the framework. Over the course of the years, yoga has evolved into six individual branches, Raja, Bhakti, Jnana, Karma, Mantra and Hatha, customised to personal lifestyle, wants and needs
