7 Things To Pack For a Yoga Retreat
Many people decide to go on a yoga retreat to get deeper in the practice and to make connections with like-minded people. Doing so in an ocean view set up is exactly what a yoga retreat is all about. Wether you’re a accustomed retreater or not, knowing what to bring can be tricky. Check out this list to know what essentials you’ll need to pack to make the most out of your yoga retreat.
Bring Yoga Clothes!
This definitely sounds like a no-brainer, however some people may assume that they’ll find all the gear on-site. Some places offer gears, but make sure to ask in advance…! You don’t want to be clothe less on day 1.
Bring A Light-Weighted Yoga Mat!
W usually recommend a lightweight mat. Indeed, retreats can be energetic and you always have to carry your mat around the premises. Therefore, make sure that you’re equipped with the lightest mat!
Bring A Journal!
We also recommend bringing with you a journal. Retreats can often be mind opening. It’s also a time and a place for your mind and your soul to think about yourself and help you think more clearly. Having a journal with you can allow you to have something to write about such as inspiring insights or simply jotting down.
Bring Self-Massage Balls!
When you’re muscles get tight, self massage balls enable you to relieve any tension and relax pressure points. Bring a few lacrosse balls in your bag and you’re set!
Bring Healthy Snacks!
Many of us tend to get nervous about our diet when travelling. Having good-for-you options in your carry on can eliminate the lure of overpriced airport junk. Keep in mind snacks that will hold you over such as dried fruit granola bars and nuts.
Bring Comfy Shoes!
Yoga retreats are no place for heels! Make sure to make your comfiest shoes!
Bring Your Positive Energy!
Any yoga retreat aims for positive and open-minded people. Don’t be the dark cloud that will ruin it for everyone. Go there with open arms and willing to meet new people. Try not getting caught up in your phone…!
