Planning a trip to Phuket? If so, chances are that you are visualizing the beauty of the sea and partying hard on the island. However, there is another way to enjoy a wonderful holiday in Phuket: a yoga retreat.
The point of going on holiday is to get away from the stress of your everyday life. Nothing can calm you more than taking a yoga class. Let the stress and anxiety fade away as you find peace and energy from the retreat.
At this point, you’re probably thinking “How is doing yoga at a retreat different from doing yoga at home?” Well, we can assure you that a yoga retreat in Phuket is a lot more special than spending some time on a mat at home. Here are the reasons why you should try it out:
You will get high-quality daily yoga sessions
Whether you are a beginner or a yoga pro, a relaxing retreat in Phuket is suitable for everyone. There will be an instructor for all courses throughout the day. All you have to do is choose a yoga retreat package that suits your likings and give it a try. Most of them come at regular intervals – morning, mid-day, or evening.
Usually, you will be able to participate in a long yoga session at the beginning of the day. This is to prepare your mind and body, giving you the strength and energy that will be needed for the whole day. The second session may be shorter or about the same length as the morning session.
When you participate in high-quality yoga classes, you get to practice in a quiet and peaceful environment. There won’t be loud noises or sounds to distract you. All of the important equipment will be available on site for you.
You will not have to bring your own mat or materials, either. Also, there will be a lot of space for everyone to move around and see the instructor clearly. If the place is tiny and crammed with many people, you have the right to ask for a refund. There is no need to worry about not being able to do some of the movements. Yoga retreats are designed for everyone at all levels. The teacher will make sure that the positions and movements are not too difficult for you.
You will get personal attention
This experience is nothing like a class in the city where you just follow the teacher’s movements and go home after an hour. When you join a yoga retreat in Phuket, you will get the opportunity to consult with your teacher for advice. This is an excellent way to bond with your instructor and make the retreat much more personal. There is no need for you to see the teacher three times a day. A check-in once a day during the retreat is more than enough. You are free to seek advice about anything, whether it be regarding the challenges or tips for getting better in yoga.
You will enjoy the magical surroundings
You’re in Phuket! Practicing here will be nothing like practicing in a group classroom in a gym. The locations of the yoga class may vary depending on where you decide to go to. However, we suggest choosing one that is held on the beachside. Imagine yourself doing yoga in a tropical, warm environment. As the waves crash in the background, you will be in peace. Where better to experience a yoga session? There’s no doubt about it – the memories you make at a yoga retreat will stick around for years to come.
