WHAT IF I AM NOT EXPERIENCED IN YOGA, IS THIS RETREAT STILL FOR ME?

Firefly Wellness Yoga Retreats are for all levels of yogas. We've had many yoga beginners come to the retreats and many who found a new love (or renewed love) of the practice. One of the reasons we like to keep the number of guests so small (14 max) is to better personalize the classes and yoga attention placed on each person. After seeing where each guest is in their yoga practice and level, the classes can be given on what best suits the group. Plus, there is a range of styles and levels taught throughout the week so you can choose the classes that best suit you. This is your retreat, do what feels best for you on each given day.

CAN I BRING A FRIEND/PARTNER WHO DOESN'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE YOGA CLASSES?

Absolutely! Non-participants are always welcome. All classes are voluntary and there is always plenty of activities (or total relaxation) that can be enjoyed in place of one of the yoga classes.

DO I HAVE TO TAKE EVERY YOGA CLASS DURING THE WEEK?

Again, all classes (and activities) are completely voluntary. I always say to guests that the retreat weeks are for you...whatever you need. So if you need to take it easy one morning, then by all means, do what you need physically and mentally.

WHAT TYPE OF YOGA CLASSES ARE OFFERED, AND WHAT LEVELS ARE WELCOME?

This is YOUR WEEK so you're encouraged to take the time you need, go at your own speed, and try and let go - whether that means diving in deep into the morning and evening classes for the week, or maybe it means needing to rest one day instead. There are usually a big variety of levels and we love that guests can attend and participate without feeling any pressure. That said, for a basic overview, we do a general hatha flow in the mornings for about 60-75min and enjoy an evening class that is more restorative, yin yoga, or yoga therapy for around 75min. Breathwork and meditation will be included in each session. And this week is much more than just ASANAS (the physical movements of yoga). Hopefully, it can be about finding something, letting something go, gaining balance in life, and enjoying many aspects of the retreat- from the cuisine, day trips, a beautiful culture, and new friends!

WHAT IF I’M A SINGLE TRAVELER?

Many of our guests come alone and we match up based on the guest profiles which has always worked out really well. All the rooms are spacious with separate beds and private bathrooms. Plus most guests find that they are mainly only in the rooms to sleep as most tend to relax in the common areas (salons, terraces, pool, etc) when we're not in class, on day trips, or having meals. It's up to you if you prefer the single room, but it's not required if signing up alone as we will pair you with another guest. The locations and villas differ on policy as some have extra rooms to offer and we can accommodate a single supplement at a reasonable price upon request. A couple of our locations have very limited space with just enough rooms for the number of guests in the retreat, so supplements tend to be higher as it’s mainly covering the cost of another guest. All details can be given upon request.
