Yoga holiday or retreat? Approach the Yoga to reset

I did not approach the yoga world casually. I lived a period of great tensions, when body and mind traveled on parallel tracks with inevitable emotional and physical blackouts, clear signs of how it was essential to change my lifestyle. My change came with the opportunity to take part in a yoga holiday. At the beginning I was only curious, so the initial approach was soft. Approaching this practice progressively allowed me to understand if I felt it in my chords, which repercussion had in my experience even if far from everyday life, what feelings it caused in me. The presence of other people who wanted to experience – but leaving space to the pure pleasure of the holiday – was a precious pad to begin a path of awakening.

From the yoga holiday to the retreat, the step was short but reasoned. Being much more focused on the practice, often one to one, this solution was the natural evolution of my personal research itinerary, of connection with myself, of reappropriation of that harmony between soul-body  I had long been missing. A yoga retreat is a real opportunity to disconnect and going from learning to listen, forgetting the external “noise” and redesigning your spaces and time. An experience with a high rate of emotional involvement that requires clear mind to capture all the signals and inputs coming from our conscious-unconscious. But the benefits it offers go even further and speak the language of pure well-being, thanks to the release of energy, the revision of the lifestyle – from nutrition to sleep – and the meeting with people on the same path. Many years after that first holiday, a long road has been made and many revolutions have been undertaken: yoga, which was its initiator and detonator, is today a faithful partner.
