You must make it clear that
Yoga retreats vary broadly in what they offer and who they are catering to. Consider the following:
The first and the most significant thing while selecting for the Yoga retreats is that you should acknowledge what type of yoga and level of yoga is being offered? Some yoga retreats offer classes for advanced practitioners and some only to beginners, and some only provide comfortable accommodation with introductory yoga classes. The thing in this to be noticed are if you are beginner in yoga and planning to go for yoga retreat with advanced yoga classes then most likely it won't be a great experience and vice-versa. And similarly if you are practicing yoga for a long time and know the most poses of the yoga and planned to go for yoga retreat for further development in your level of yoga or if you want to have experience something new then by choosing a beginners yoga retreat you might be disappointed. So you should make sure about the level of instruction being offered.
All the yoga retreats does not offer same program schedule, some provides throughout the day practice of yoga and are very structured and give very little personal time for other activities or rest for a while. Some may offer only one or two classes of 2 hours a day and give you free time for activities, personal likeness, etc. every program has its own consequence, but you have to choose the one which meets your personal tastes and requirements.
Another thing most significant is that the place where the retreat being offered? You can find retreats in all locations, throughout the world. Some places are very low populated and far from the cities and some are closer to the main cites in busy environemnts. But you should select those retreat venues which is located in the beautiful natural environments and away from crowd such as closer to the ocean, in a tropical rain forest, up in the mountains or just in remote countrysides.
