A withdrawal to focus on the practice of yoga is called a yoga retreat. It is a group practice where people gather and perform some group activities related to yoga. An individual can also opt for the solo retreat but mostly people choose group retreat as you can get to know about the people around you and you can learn something from their experiences too. In retreat, you learn new things and most importantly you learn the new language terms as yoga has very different terms for all the ‘Asana’ that you practice. So you learn all the new terms over there and know about yoga in depth.
It is a combination of physical postures and spirituality of mind. As people say what you do, how you behave, and how you act on mat reflects you as a person in your life. If you are calm on the mat you would definitely be very much calm and composed in your life in any situation. A yoga retreats can help you find new things about yourself and also can change your life perspective or sometimes can build a whole new perspective. One can dwell in nature and discover their new self. Going on yoga retreats when you are clueless about life and want to regain focus on life can help you a lot.
Retreat helps in finding the best version of yourself. Spending some days in retreat can change a lot of your perspective. It is not like you will suddenly become a new person and start acting like a saint, leave everything behind and go for “Sanyas” (renunciation), but definitely, you will learn new things and try to adopt them in your life. There you can see yourself in a different world, where there is no place for mean things free from all the negativity of the cruel world. You will get to see a better world full of activities for some
days. And after visiting the retreat you might make efforts to make the world better for yourself.

Some of the benefits of a yoga retreat in changing the perspective of your life are:
1)Your perspective towards nature changes and you start embracing nature more. You start finding peace in every aspect of nature whether it be under the sky on sunny days or going to the forest in the monsoon. You prefer spending time with nature at Lake, River or pond rather than going out with friends, colleagues or mates to a club or party. You will always prefer going to the destination which is more peaceful and relaxing rather than any partying/crowded destination.
2)It helps you come out of the dark place you are in and leads you towards a new path. You overcome all the fears in life. They teach some ‘Mudra ‘which helps in overcoming the fear. You should practice that daily which would help you overcome any fear in life and you become calmer and composed any day.
3)With the time passing in retreat you start focusing on yourself and your perspective for self-starts changing and then you act accordingly. So in retreat, they teach patience, mindfulness, and Self-discipline where you
become more focused and sharp in any activity you do in daily life. one visit to a retreat brings a lot of change in the person’s behavior and his actions.
4)When you are focused on your life then you don’t care much about others and you focus on your growth and success you observe what other people are doing but it doesn’t affect you anymore as you are self-involved. People
say being self-involved every time is not good but it is not bad either when you are focusing on yourself for positive growth.
5) You learn to embrace your life more, instead of ignoring any bad part of your life you learn to accept it, learn from it and get ahead. This is the effect of a yoga retreat in that it helps you to accept the bitter past of your or any bad habits of yours and helps you overcome your past and bad habits.
It is always a good idea to retreat, taking a break from the monotonous life. So once you retreat you just avoid going to any crowded places and prefer to go to any peaceful places instead. You become a more attentive and concentrated person. Your life perspective may not change completely in one retreat but it may change your perspective about life and you start seeing things in a new perspective. Every day you will learn new things, you will find new things in your life. You will learn to take criticism for your best and work on it without being arrogant.
