Practitioners develop and practice the ancient spiritual and physical discipline of yoga during a yoga healing retreat. Yoga strives to bring the mind and body together via movement, which can vary from gentle positions to more challenging exercises. Participants at a standard yoga healing retreat would practice yoga for many hours each day, with moments of meditation, relaxation, and other therapeutic choices like massage or one-on-one teaching with a yoga instructor thrown in for good measure. These retreats assist people in dealing with physical, spiritual, and emotional concerns that need to be addressed.
