Progression in the practice. Yoga is a journeyand though some try not to put too much emphasison achievement, it does not mean that a yogi’s pathis not progressive. Deepening the practice meansdifferent things to different people and can just aseasily be about the first bakasana position.

Better eating habits. If the retreat is all-inclusive, that means three healthy and deliciousmeals a day without the need to Google recipes,go grocery shopping, prepare and clean up.Getting the nutrition necessary has never beeneffortless. All the work can be left to the staff.

Travelling without being self-conscious. Sometimes people just really want to get away from it all and itis not easy to coordinate if they travel with friends or partners. Retreats are a safe environment to travelsolo and many find that even if they arrive alone, they will leave with a load of new friends with the samelove for yoga life.

Step-back to assess life. Many people go through entire days and weeks without straying far from their set of activities. Taking a step outside that routine allows them a new perspective about their lives.

These are just some of the reasons to go to a yoga retreat.
