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.

From Ashtanga Vinyasa flow to Kundalini and Anusara, different styles and techniques of yoga are aimed at achieving different results for an example challenging the mind, healing and reenergising the body therefore it is important to clarify purpose and understand what each session entails before you begin. As a retreat is aimed at disconnecting from distressing factors such as social media and work responsibilities, a digital detox is also recommended in order to allow the benefits and power of a change in lifestyle seep into the mind, body and spirit.

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
