Do you often lead a busy life filled with work responsibilities and personal commitments? Do you find it hard to take out time for yourself? Perhaps you might find it challenging to even notice your natural beauty in the mirror?
I can relate. I felt in a similar way when I was working in a chaotic corporate job. I thought I was living a full life and was saying YES to every single opportunity waiting at the doorstep.
Well, at least I thought I was living life to the fullest, but in reality, I was not.
6 months back when my best friend gave me a reality check by going on a yoga vacation with me, that is when I realized how dull of a life I was living.
With the right depth of knowledge and personal experience, I have listed down the topmost benefits of going on a yoga vacation that I feel are the most relevant, even for beginners or for those who do not consider themselves a yoga retreat goer.
5 Topmost Benefits of Joining A Beginners Yoga Retreat
De-Stress From Your Hectic Life
In my experience, one of the main reasons why more than ninety percent of people prefer going to yoga vacations for beginners is to step away from the humdrum of their life.
We spend more than half of our time working, taking care of our family, meeting deadlines, and much more, and we often forget that we need time for ourselves too. Joining a beginners yoga retreat is a perfect way to leave all responsibilities behind for a few weeks and spend quality time with yourself.
Get Away From Technology
When attending a yoga retreat, it is always advisable to leave your phones, tablets, laptops, and all other technology-related items at home, or switch them off during retreat sessions as much as possible.
More than half of the beginners yoga retreat centers are located in the mountains or by the banks of different rivers, in places with minimal cellphone service. And this is quite fantastic because there is no distraction like checking emails or social media feeds while you are there.
Fact is, disconnecting from technology not only makes us connect more deeply with ourselves but also with others present at the retreat. It also presents us with the opportunity to get away from the electromagnetic radiation that pollutes the environment and leads to poor health.
Become Friends With Nature
As mentioned above, more than half of the yoga retreats are located in peaceful and serene locations. Spending time in nature is so healing for us on many different levels. Breathing in the fresh air, appreciating the flora and fauna, and taking time to notice your surroundings is the perfect opportunity for you to feel close to nature.
Much of our days are spent indoors, in houses, coffee shops, bars, stores, shopping malls, offices, and many more where we see a lot of concrete and man-made structures and less of nature and fauna.
Joining a yoga retreat makes you breathe not just fresh air, but it also makes you appreciate the way you are feeling when you are surrounded by nature in comparison to brick-made buildings.
