Creating a serene and supportive environment for practice and reflection. 

These often include guidelines on quiet hours, respecting personal space, and following specific instructions during yoga classes.

​

• Quiet Hours:
  Maintaining silence during designated quiet hours, often late evening and early morning, is crucial for allowing participants to rest and focus on their practice. 

• Respectful Behavior:
  This includes being mindful of others, avoiding loud conversations or excessive noise, and showing respect for the space and other participants. 

• Electronic Devices:
  Many retreats discourage or prohibit the use of mobile phones, laptops, or other electronic devices during classes or other activities to maintain a focused and tranquil environment. 

• Clothing and Footwear:
  Some retreats may have specific rules regarding clothing or footwear, particularly in the yoga hall or meditation areas. This might include wearing socks or soft slippers instead of shoes. 

• Smoking, Alcohol, and Drugs:
  Many retreats prohibit smoking, excessive drinking of alcohol, and the use of drugs on the premises. 

• Class Etiquette:
  Following the teacher's instructions, avoiding distractions, and showing respect for the space and other participants during yoga classes are essential. 

• Specific Instructions:
  Some retreats, particularly those with a more intensive or focused approach, may have specific instructions regarding seating, posture, or other aspects of practice. 

• Personal Space:
  Respecting others' personal boundaries, such as avoiding physical touch or close proximity, is important. 

• Leaving the Space: 
  Cleaning up after yourself, returning items to their proper place, and tidying up your practice space are often expected.
