Before choosing a particular yoga style as taught in a specific yoga retreat in India, consider why you want to practice yoga in the first place. Your reasons will play a very important role in ascertaining which style of yoga would suit you the best. Accordingly, do you prefer to practice yoga for its physical, body strengthening benefits or do you want to reap its restorative benefits? Are you in search of a yoga style that will provide you with a spiritual experience or are you more in favor of a style that will help you reduce weight, gain strength, or provide relief from body pains? Try answering these questions honestly to discovering the yoga style that would benefit you the most.

Choose According to the Reason you Practice

Many Indian yoga retreats offer a range of yoga styles to allow students to choose the right one based on their individual requirements. The particular yoga style you choose also depends on to an extent on your personal preferences, needs, and constraints. Let us talk about constraints first. The yoga style you choose will need to be adjustable with your physical and financial limitations, not to mention your time constraints. Moving to preferences, the yoga style you choose will depend on your personal likes and dislikes. For instance, will you prefer to practice yoga in a group or alone? Do you favor a compassionate approach to learning yoga or do you prefer to be pushed to break limitations as is often taught in the 200-hour yoga teacher training retreats? Honest answers to these questions will also determine the right yoga style for you.
