Akupara Yoga FAQs and Information

Who would enjoy an Akupara Yoga Retreat?

Our yoga retreats are designed for people who have some yoga experience, and who enjoy a deeply spiritual yoga practice, rather than one devoted solely to physical exercise. Anyone who enjoys being surrounded by beautiful locations, having free time to reconnect with the natural rhythms of life, and exploring the natural world will delight in the retreats we offer. While many of the yoga classes and natural excursions will give you a workout, the main focus of every activity is the highest aspect of yoga: realizing your innate nature as an interconnected and spiritual being.

Why do I have to fill out a health form as part of my registration?

At Akupara Yoga Retreats we are committed to your health and wellness. The health form helps us ensure that you have a safe and wonderful experience, and allows us to offer you alternatives if there's a medical or common sense reason that you can't participate in one of the planned excursions or classes.

Who will have access to the information I put on the health form?

All personal information is kept completely confidential. Only the Akupara instructor(s) leading the classes has access to your information.

What should I expect from an Akupara Yoga Retreat?

Specific daily schedules for each upcoming retreat are posted on the Global Yoga Retreats links, but in general, the schedule conforms to the flow of nature, while allowing sufficient time for private reflection. Each day begins as the sun rises with an internal spiritual practice, followed by a health conscious breakfast. Most days include an additional, more physically challenging, yoga practice, later in the day, when the muscles, joints and ligaments are warm. Exploring the natural beauty through cultural events, hiking, snorkeling and other outdoor activities appropriate to the locale, are interspersed throughout the retreat, while still allowing ample free time. Discussions and activities to help you integrate the theme of each retreat into your daily life when you return home are also a staple of Akupara Yoga Retreats.

What are the refund and cancellation policies?

Sometimes life events make it necessary for you to cancel or reschedule a retreat. Full refunds are offered if cancellation occurs 60 days or more prior to the retreat. Our policy for changes less than 60 days prior to the retreat is to reschedule you on another retreat of your choice within 24 months of your original reservation (additional fees may apply, depending on the cost of the new retreat), with full credit for the amount pre-paid, or to offer you a 50% refund of your payment.
