Have you been dreaming of a pause—away from pings, commutes, and schedules? This simple self‑test helps you discover whether a yoga retreat could be the reset your life needs. Be honest. Take your time. Breathe.
The 7‑Question Self‑Test
Do you wake up tired, even after 7–8 hours of sleep?
Do you feel glued to your phone or laptop all day?
Do you often feel stressed, anxious, or restless for no clear reason?
Do you crave meaningful connection but often feel disconnected?
When was the last time you spent a day in silence, with nature as your background?
Do you feel like you’re living on autopilot—work, eat, sleep, repeat?
Have you been secretly thinking, “I wish I could just escape for a while”?
Why Science Says Retreats Work
Research shows retreats and mindfulness practices reduce stress, improve sleep and increase emotional regulation. A retreat offers structure — movement, breathwork, silence, nature — that together help reset the nervous system.
"I arrived burned out and skeptical. By day three I slept better, and for the first time in years I could hear myself think. I returned home calmer and more focused." — Meera, retreat participant
Quick facts:
- Nearly half of people report mind-wandering frequently — linked to lower happiness scores.
- Nature exposure lowers cortisol and supports mood recovery.
- Structured periods of silence and breathwork have measurable effects on stress markers.
