Frequently Asked Questions

What yoga styles are taught on retreat?

We offer two yoga classes a day on our yoga retreats: a morning vinyasa (flow) yoga class which is energizing and invigorating, and a gentle and relaxing restorative flow class in the evening. Both classes are suitable for all levels.

Can beginners join?

Our retreats are open to all levels – from beginners to advanced, and we will modify the classes so that you can practice at your own pace. Emily is highly experienced in all levels of Yoga.

What if I come by myself?

The majority of our retreaters come by themselves. Although you may come alone, you will leave the retreat with new connections.

What do I pack?

We will be practicing meditation and yoga every morning and afternoon. The morning practices will be vinyasa flow (more vigorous and potentially sweaty), and the afternoon or evening practices will be more restorative. How many yoga outfits you bring depends on your capacity for rewearing, and your intention to do laundry on vacation. We recommend bringing cozy long sleeves and comfy long pants for meditation and the sound healing, since your body will be in relaxation pose for a prolonged time period.

What type of food will there be on retreat? I have a specific dietary need, will there be options?

The buffet breakfasts offer a wide variety of options from yogurts, juices, cereal and pastries. Lunches and dinners are a mix of freshly cooked whole grains, proteins, fruit and vegetables. We can meet gluten free and lactose intolerant diets. You have the option to check a box for your dietary needs when you are booking.

Can I arrive early or stay later after the yoga retreat ends?

Yes, if you’d like to extend your retreat with more personal time and arrive earlier or stay a few days extra, we can help you arrange that with the retreat center (contingent on space being available). Please contact us to connect you with the center.
