I embarked on a yoga retreat as my ‘big holiday’ and it changed the way I view everything

0

My default idea of holiday rest and relaxation is alone, with a book at the pool. And while I was intent on R&R’ing alone, I was drawn to group activities far more than expected. It was like being on holiday with a big group of mates. No forced fun in sight.

However, I did make sure to take advantage of the massage and sound-healing experience for a more formal sense of chill.

For an additional £80 I booked in for an hour and a half of holistic massage, complete with sound bowls, tuning forks and chanting. After that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to have a simple deep tissue ever again.

Yes, a yoga retreat can be your big holiday

A yoga retreat isn’t usually sold as your proper holiday, your big annual vacation but there’s no reason it can’t be. This trip changed my perception of a retreat and what I need to do to relax and unwind.

I had fun and it turns out yoga retreats can and should be fun. I left Pantelleria feeling peaceful and with a new Whatsapp GC full of friends.
