The benefits of attending yoga retreats
A daily IPATH~ Integral Postural Alignment Therapeutics class, is in itself a mini retreat "me time" lasting 60-90 minutes.
Students "work in" ~ and self adjust, tuning-in, listening, feeling, and discovering truth.
Do you lead a busy life with work and family commitments, and find it tough to find time for yourself? Or maybe you even find it challenging to take time to notice your breath or the beauty of the world around you?
Research shows, how resting, finding time for hobbies and activities that help relax the mind, offer benefits to help live better and be better.
One of the main core tenants of yoga philosophy is living in the moment and relates back to the concept of mindfulness. Mindfulness involves being present and experiencing what is happening now. It is also a great way to ward off unnecessary anxiety caused by the uncertainty of the future. By applying these mindfulness principles, you may find that you are able to face the world with a calmer, more optimistic attitude.
No matter if you are a beginner or have been practicing yoga for years, a yoga retreat can provide a wealth of benefits and a unique opportunity to elevate your practice to a whole new level. The stress and tasks of everyday life can sometimes get in the way of that “me time” you deserve. Taking a break from your daily routine to disconnect from the world even for just a few hours, allows you to have some time to yourself and reconnect with the innermost part of you.
"When teaching IPATH restorative yoga and IPATH pilates, with myofascial release, breathwork, restorative holds, somatic movement, the calming effects stimulate the nervous system. So when I see students lingering, reluctant to end a 60 minute IPATH class I swiftly remind how essential it is to participate in yoga retreats at least twice per year "- Denese Cavanaugh
We have layers and layers of tension, stress and discomfort that is likely to appear during retreats and practices that last 2 hours or more. Ahhhhh hours of release!
Meeting people with similar interests is an added benefit for attending yoga retreats. Having others in your social circle that you can talk to about your hobbies and the development of your yoga practice is a great foundation for building strong friendships and shared experiences.
Going on a yoga retreat is a great way to get a break from your daily life and reconnect with your true self. Find your "Me Time"
