You’ve been to a couple of yoga classes and possibly also have done some masterclasses, and now you want to get more serious about your yoga practice. The decision is made, for your next vacation, you are going away on a yoga class. Here are some answers to a few questions you might ask yourself.
Yoga retreat or yoga holiday?
While the distinction between yoga vacations and yoga retreats is not always clear, now and then, even the organizers have not thought enough about how to accurately name their course), there is quite a differentiation in terms of focal point and general impression or atmosphere.
Generally speaking, a yoga vacation is primarily an activity vacation. The time committed daily to yoga usually won’t go beyond four hours, in one, or possibly two daily classes, and you will have a lot of time for other activities or just to relax and chill out.
The surroundings should reflect this, with a beach or other remarkable attractions in the neighborhood.
The air is often undisturbed, and it is usually a great to bump into other like-minded people. On a retreat, in contrast, the yoga program is likely to be more intense, possibly together with some meditation, times of silence, etc.
