Tips for a beginner: how to prepare for your first yoga tour


Finally the long-awaited vacation! You have found out about the dates and are planning to make the most of it. Which means it’s time to get ready for a yoga tour!

If you are new to yoga and this is your first yoga tour, then you immediately panic in your head, a lot of questions arise: how to choose a good yoga tour if you are new to yoga? How not to make a mistake with a yoga teacher? where to go if you are going on a yoga tour for the first time? What should a beginner in yoga take with him on his first yoga tour?

Take a deep breath, exhale and calmly talk about it.

What to take with you on your first yoga tour for a beginner in yoga:

- sunscreens. Even if this is a winter yoga tour, you will still need a sanitary unit, since in the mountains, for example, the sun reflects the snow and there is a chance of getting burned;

— a yoga mat that will not take up much space in your luggage, will not cause problems with excess luggage, etc. During stands or asanas on the knees, this mat may not be entirely comfortable, since it is quite thin, but beginners in yoga usually practice a simple program, and sometimes mats are available at the site of the yoga tour. In any case, the choice is yours. You can also take a thicker and, therefore, heavier rug with you on a trip, but then you should worry about its transportation in advance: a case or a carrier;

- comfortable clothes . Soft and comfortable, and most importantly - very comfortable, so that during practice you can concentrate on your body, and not on a pressing strap or a twisted sleeve. Also take care of possible evening gatherings in the fresh air and meditation - take something cozy and warm with you for this occasion;

— a water bottle is a particularly important component not only for beginners in yoga and not only on a yoga tour;

— many also recommend taking a good book with you, but it is unlikely to replace practice, unforgettable excursions and live communication with like-minded people.

Very often, beginners in yoga are afraid to go on a yoga tour, because they think that everyone goes there with their leg behind their head, in the splits or lotus. Nothing like this! You don't have to worry. It is important to understand the difference between a yoga tour and a retreat, then you will go on the trip you need. There are yoga tours designed for beginners and intermediate yoga practitioners. Feel free to go!
