How to choose a retreat as a beginner

A first retreat goes best when the programme suits your level. Every listing on this page says it welcomes beginners or all levels, but the pace still differs: some keep to a few gentle sessions a day, others fill the day from early morning. Read the daily schedule and pick one that leaves time to rest.

A shorter stay is an easy start: a weekend or a week shows you which style, teacher and setting suit you before you commit to something longer. If you have an injury or a health condition, or are pregnant, tell the retreat leader in your booking request. They confirm availability and the final price before anything is charged.

Before you book

• Read the daily schedule: how many sessions, how long each one is, and how much free time.
• Check whether the group is taught together or split by level.
• Ask what to bring, and whether mats and other equipment are provided.
• Tell the retreat leader about any injury or health condition before you book.
