There are a few reasons why I love teaching yoga retreats. On a more superficial level, it is great to have a change of routine and scenery. It is also a fantastic opportunity to check out a new corner of the world, and there are so many wonderful corners out there to explore!<\/p>\n
I am also happy with the quality of teaching I am able to offer when I have an intimate group to work with every day for a week. The pace, the space, and the nourishment of the week, creates a huge shift in everyone from the day of arrival to the day we depart. I love observing this process. It is magical.<\/p>\n
When my regular students come along, I have time to get to know them on a more personal level.\u00a0 It\u2019s really special to dig a little deeper into getting to know someone. Equally, I love meeting new people. It forms many new connections, and those new people often become familiar faces in class.<\/p>\n
It may sound cheesy but I always experience moments when teaching retreats that I fall completely in love with everyone. For their individuality, their challenges and their gifts.<\/p>\n
The process of the practice and the relationship that is built over the week is intensified in such a cozy setting and there is a huge amount of great stuff that comes out of that for everyone involved!<\/p>\n
