    The Questions You're Actually Asking

    Will I share a room with a stranger?

    Usually no — but it depends on the retreat. We break down the room types.

    Can I bring my phone?

    Technically yes. But we'll explain why you might want to rethink that.

    What if I can't do yoga?

    Most retreats offer modifications. Some don't involve yoga at all.

    Fair question. Here's how to tell the difference.
