Are yoga retreats worth the price?

To say that yoga retreats are not worth the price would not be a right statement. 

Like everything else, it is important to make sure that you know what you are looking for and ticking the important boxes.

Because yoga retreats come in all kinds, doing some research on the teachers, reading reviews of previous participants, and assessing if the retreat offers what you want to learn and develop in yourself are good places to start. 

That said, yoga retreats do offer the kind of time, attention, and dedicated focus that any yoga practitioner can immensely benefit from. 

They are incredibly healing, great for reducing stress, really helpful if you want to detox, and very supportive if you want to build and deepen your yoga practice.
