Why yoga retreat?

Why would we want to join a yoga retreat program, when there's so many yoga classes on the island?
Because, its different.

How many times have we tell ourselves to do something about the stress building up daily. That the frequent insomnia is making us looking a zombie at work. That we've slowly lessen the toilet visits. That all those multi- tasking are making us crazy.
That we binge, drink, smoke and party to escape from the days we are leading?

We try to keep going regularly to yoga classes,  work pulled us back. We rush for classes, think about the iphone,  think about work, think about what to eat later, in the during the practice. We probably get a short 5-10 minutes of peace during the savasana. And when the class ended, we rush out of the studio and back home.

So, what great difference will it make by attending a yoga retreat?
For that, we decided to put a pause for all those buzzing. We happily tag " i am out of town!" on you work email. No more rushing up and down, no more chitterlings and chatters and no more endless checking of text messages.

In a retreat, we experience a sample of living fully ( which we can hardly have a chance to do that usual days). We are giving time to ourselves, for education, to relax and out body to heal. Meeting a group of people who are also in search for the spot of bliss as we are.We discuss, pour and open up for discussion about the stress we are facing. Giving ourselves a time to re-look at the lifestyle we'd been engaging, and learning how to make small changes slowly.
For once, we are soak into tranquility and calmness. Learning becomes easy when we're relax and happy.
And so when back, we carry a fruitful bag of knowledge, and ready to inject them bit by bit for a healthier lifestyle.
