I went on my first yoga retreat last weekend and what a wonderful experience! We also had 24 hours of silence on Saturday so we could go inward and reflect. I loved it! We did meditation and yoga sessions but other than that we were free to read, journal, go for a walk or whatever.

It was a very special experience and I feel like it really cleared away lots of questions I've had lately and helped me to focus much better.

that sounds sooooo wonderful!

It's been a month and I'm still reaping the benefits of going to that retreat! It really made a difference in my life.

That is awesome to hear, HealthyMom62. I am an avid fan of yoga retreats. I did one at Kripalu last year and I still feel its warmth.

Where did you go - was it a big center, or a small local one?

Our Tai Chi instructor has a retreat in Colorado in the summer. Back when we could actually afford to go, it started on the first week of school. That's a no-no for teachers! Now,it is the week before school, and we just can't afford it. That's sad.

Dear Connie -

That is a shame. You would think they'd be aware of school schedules and work around them. So many people would have conflicts with that.

I was just talking in my college class about Kripalu and it reminded me of how much I adored it there. I wish it was less expensive. I need to find ways to incorporate that same relaxed feeling more fully in my daily life.
