If the idea of attending a yoga retreat feels out of reach – if you imagine it’s too expensive or requires flying halfway around the world – we have a new alternative. Moksha retreats at home bring the retreat experience to you, wherever you are. 

And if you’re feeling burnt out on virtual activities and Zoom calls, believe us when we say that these retreats are different. This is a chance to dive deep into wellness, connect with an intimate group of participants, and learn practical tools to use in your daily life. Below are just a few of the things you can look forward to during our online retreats (and long afterward).

Learn new ways of being in your current environment.

This is one of the biggest benefits of participating in an online retreat from your own home. Traveling to a new and exciting location for a retreat can be a hugely transformative experience – but it might seem like the benefits you got from the retreat only exist over there. Once you get back home, it might feel like you’ve left your new-found wellness behind at your destination.

When you do a retreat at home, you experience your normal environment in a different way and learn how to bring new awareness into your everyday life. Since you’re already at home, there’s no big separation between “retreat” and “life,” and it’ll be easier to keep up with the routines you develop during the retreat.

Immerse yourself in practice and exploration.

There’s a big difference between taking some classes – even frequent classes – and attending a full retreat. Online Moksha retreats are immersive, and they provide the opportunity to really dive into study over the course of two full days. 

You won’t just be taking one yoga class and then returning to your normal hectic schedule for the rest of the day. Instead, you’ll enjoy a carefully curated program of practices and other activities that complement each other and build from one to the next. You’ll have group sessions and lectures, as well as individual activities to complete on your own. Most importantly, you’ll have time and space for the reflection that brings forth personal growth.

Enjoy the intimate setting of a small group.

Have you ever joined a Zoom class or session to find there were 20 or 50 or 100 other people participating? And you felt like there was no chance of the teacher really seeing you? That doesn’t happen with Moksha retreats at home.

Every retreat is capped at just five participants, creating an intimate setting where each student is seen. The small size means sessions can be tailored to the needs of the students, and you’ll have the opportunity to get personalized feedback and connect with your fellow attendees.

Get advice and suggestions during Q&A sessions.

The Q&A sessions are another unique feature of online Moksha retreats, and another reason the small group setting is so beneficial. Whatever questions you have – about yoga, food, wellness, or anything else – you’ll have the opportunity to get them answered. You’ll also be able to get personalized tips and recommendations and work through any concerns you might have. These sessions will be a chance to reflect and share your experiences with the group as well.

Practice and learn with live interactive sessions.

There’s no doubt the Internet is full of yoga practices and other educational videos you can watch on your own. But while pre-recorded videos can be useful, they don’t offer the opportunity to interact with the teacher, get individual feedback, or connect with other students. And there’s no accountability to help you stay motivated to show up.

Those are all things Moksha retreats strive to give every participant, and that’s why nearly every session is held live on Zoom.

Take your yoga practice far beyond asana.

While “yoga” in the West has become synonymous with exercise, stretching, and handstands, the poses are just one aspect of this ancient practice. At Moksha retreats, we dive deep into asana, of course, with both hatha and yin practices.

But we also explore other aspects of yoga that are just as important, if not more so. You’ll practice meditation, try pranayama (breathing) techniques, and learn concepts from yoga philosophy, all of which are tools to support your personal development and well-being.

Learn a holistic approach to health and well-being.

Moksha retreats aren’t only about yoga, either. These retreats take a more integrated approach to wellness, and food is a big part of it. Lecture sessions will help you understand the connection between food, mood, and energy, and teach you new ways to think about food. You’ll learn what mindful eating is and how to start practicing it yourself.

It gets even more tangible with daily cooking demos that will teach you how to make simple, nourishing, delicious meals for yourself. The pre-retreat guide you’ll receive beforehand has the full list of groceries you’ll need for your meals throughout the retreat.

Leave with recipes to prepare after the retreat is over.

One of the bonuses all retreat attendees receive is an exclusive Moksha cookbook, which is yours to keep. All the recipes included are healthy and uncomplicated, featuring fresh, colorful produce and flavorful herbs and spices. These are dishes you’ll actually want to cook for yourself, and they’ll help you keep eating mindfully after the retreat is over.

Get a retreat experience while saving time and money.

Destination retreats are never going to be accessible to everyone. The expenses of accommodations and facilities necessitate a higher price tag, and flights or drives add even more to the cost – not to mention the time commitment.

By attending an online retreat, you’ll get the opportunity to immerse yourself in practice at a fraction of the cost. You won’t need to take a bunch of days off work or factor in extra travel time, and there’ll be no jet lag to contend with!

Whether you want to develop your yoga practice, learn about healthy eating, or jumpstart a new routine, attending one of our online retreats will give you the tools and support to help you succeed. Don’t wait to reserve your spot at the next retreat!
