A Transformative Journey: My First Yoga Retreat Abroad
My first Yoga Retreat was truly a transformative experience. As I arrived at the retreat center in Thailand; I was surrounded by nature’s beauty, filled with excitement, anticipation and if I am being honest, a little exhaustion– which yes, I know often comes with traveling. What I didn’t yet know was that this trip would deepen my yoga practice and transform my life.
Dive Into the Unknown: A Journey of Self-Discovery on a Yoga Retreat
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a swimmer, dedicating 20 hours a week to training with my college team, pushing my body to new limits every day. My journey into swimming began when my parents needed an outlet for their high-energy little girl.
If you were to ask my friends about me trying yoga, they’d probably burst into laughter. I’m not the type to attend a class weekly; if I’m lucky, I make it once a month. Some days, I can touch my toes effortlessly, while on others, it’s a bit of a stretch—pun intended.
