Most of us are in constant movement from activity to activity, from thought to thought. A retreat is a conscious decision to pause, removing ourselves from our immediate experience. It is an invaluable opportunity to observe and reflect on our actions, thoughts and feelings.

Although every time we practice Yoga is in itself a retreat, we all know how important it is to dedicate time to relaxing, resting and renewing ourselves. As a result of bringing clarity to our breath, body, minds and hearts we are better able to participate actively and harmoniously in our lives.

Retreats are an ancient tradition found throughout the world. One of the most ancient branches of Yoga is the tradition of retiring to the forest or a cave to deepen one’s spiritual life. At St Petersburg Yoga, we provide opportunities for our students to continue deepening their practice by immersing in the safe and appropriate use of a variety of traditional and contemporary techniques under the guidance of our highly qualified yogis.

Even students who are relatively new benefit greatly from the deeper experience of a retreat. Particularly during transition times, retreats offer an opportunity to set aside and reflect on our actions and to clarify our direction. The peace, serenity and sense of well being that result from a Yoga retreat are invaluable in supporting us during challenging times.

At St Petersburg Yoga we are pleased to offer a variety of retreats at local, national and international destinations. We also organize retreats for specific groups and purposes related to yoga. For more information do not hesitate to contact us.
