Recently, after a yoga class, one of my students lingered behind. She hesitated for a moment, then looked at me and said:

“I don’t think I’m a yoga retreat person.”

To be honest, I’ve heard this before. Maybe you’ve even thought it yourself. Ironically, this was one woman I would LOVE to have join me on retreat.

I gently asked her, “What makes you think that?”

She went on to explain that she imagined yoga retreats as places filled with impossibly flexible people who glide effortlessly into perfect poses—people who seem to have it all figured out. And she felt like she didn’t belong in that kind of space.

If you’ve ever felt this way, I want you to know: you are not alone. And more importantly, this belief couldn’t be further from the truth.

Let’s Bust the Myth: What Yoga Retreats Are Really About

The idea of a yoga retreat can feel intimidating—especially if you’re picturing a group of people who already seem light-years ahead in their practice or their personal growth.

But here’s the truth: yoga retreats aren’t about perfection. They’re about showing up as you are and giving yourself permission to be exactly who you are in this moment.

At The Glow Within Women’s Yoga Retreat, we focus on creating a space where you feel welcome, supported, and free to reconnect with yourself.

What Happens at the Glow Within Retreat

Let me take you beyond the myths and paint you a real picture of what this retreat looks like.

1. Mornings That Start with Ease

There’s no competition here—just intentional, guided yoga sessions that meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or can’t touch your toes (yet!), our morning practices focus on moving your body in ways that feel good.

This isn’t about “getting it right.” It’s about waking up your body, stretching out the tension, and setting the tone for a day filled with possibilities.

2. Afternoons Filled with Freedom

This retreat isn’t a rigid schedule of back-to-back activities. Instead, you have the freedom to choose what feels right for you each day:

• Stroll along the pristine beaches of Thailand and soak in the natural beauty.
• Relax by the ocean, letting the waves wash away stress you didn’t even realize you were carrying.
• Take time for yourself—read, nap, meditate, or simply be.

Here, self-care (in our world we call this choosing yourself) isn’t just encouraged—it’s the whole point.

3. Evenings of Connection and Belonging

The magic happens when we come together as a group. In the evenings, we gather for meaningful conversations, laughter, and connection.

These moments remind you that you’re not alone in your struggles or your journey. You’ll be surrounded by women who understand what it feels like to crave more balance, joy, and clarity in life.

The bonds you form here often last long after the retreat ends. What would it feel like for you to know you have 14 women standing in your corner ready to give you support and encouragement at every twist and turn life throws at you?

This Isn’t About Yoga—It’s About You

Here’s what I told my student that day:

“You don’t need to be a ‘yoga retreat person.’ You just need to be a person who’s ready to reconnect with yourself.” You just need to be willing to choose YOU.

Yoga retreats aren’t about being the most flexible or the most experienced. They’re about stepping away from the demands of everyday life to find stillness, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself. To rediscover what sparks your joy.

You don’t need to have a perfect practice—or even know a single yoga pose. All you need is the courage to show up for yourself.

Why Women Like You Choose This Retreat

Time and time again, I hear from women who say:

• “I didn’t think I was ready, but I’m so glad I came.”
• “This retreat helped me reconnect with a part of myself I thought I’d lost.”
• “I was worried I wouldn’t fit in, but I left feeling like I belonged.”

If you’ve ever felt like life is moving too fast, like you’ve been putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own, or like you’re ready for a change but don’t know where to start—this retreat was made for you.

Let’s Talk About Fear

It’s normal to feel nervous about taking this step. After all, investing in yourself—your time, your energy, your resources—can feel scary. 

But think about this:
What if this retreat is exactly what you need to finally feel at peace? To finally give yourself permission to focus on you?

Are You Ready to Join Us?

If you’re still wondering whether you’re a “yoga retreat person,” let me say this: the fact that you’re here, reading this, means you’re ready.

You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be open to the possibility of transformation.

Thailand is calling. Let this be your moment to say yes to yourself.
