Yoga Retreat

Anyway, the yoga retreat is always carrying some similarities between us and the outside world, between samsara and nirvana, meditation and vanity, and so on. Without exception all masters of the past and present hold for a long time to retreat. Retreats are different in length - from several days to several years. Retreats are secluded, and there are collective retreats. Some retreats are common, and some - focus on specific practices. Some place near the residence, and some - in the mountains. And so on.

In any case, we go into retreat in order to retire, in order to retain the feature of all vain thoughts and devote himself to meditation, concentration, or another form of spiritual practice. An essential part of the situation here is the place where the retreat is held. As a rule, retreat centers are arranged in the field of painting, on hilltops, on the slopes of the mountains, away from the "bustle and flow of cars." In this case, a teacher or mentor usually establishes different rules of behavior, characteristic of a particular retreat. For example, most of these activities is to maintain complete silence throughout the retreat. In addition, designated a certain mode of the day, implying a teacher lectures, meditation sessions, during meals, and so on.
