We get so used to doing things with someone that doing them alone suddenly feels weird. It is easier, even, to go to the market with a familiar person on our side. So when the idea of ​​going to yoga retreat in rishikesh is talked about, the first thought might not be even about yoga. It may be, “With whom shall I go?”

We get that.

And sometimes you want someone to share the journey with, someone to share breakfast and laugh with, someone to talk to after a long day, or just someone whose presence makes an unfamiliar place feel a little less unfamiliar.

If you have that person, take them.

But what if you haven't?

That shouldn't be a reason you don't go.

A retreat can be an experience to share with someone, but it can also be an experience where you discover that you are able to enjoy your own company more than you thought you would.

Maybe the Person You Find Is You 

That may sound sentimental until you experience it.

Sometimes we spend so much time searching for someone to be with us that we forget to ask ourselves whether we are good company.

This question can subtly be raised at a yoga retreat in India .

You might discover that going out alone is not uncomfortable.

And perhaps the biggest change is not that you make new friends.

That you stop being afraid of doing things without them.
