FAQs

Q. Do I need to have any yoga experience?

Our retreats are designed to welcome people from all walks of life and are suitable for all abilities, even for those with no experience in yoga practice. Each retreat has an intention behind it and the program varies, yet our main goal is to make it accessible. We work on balancing nervous and endocrine systems, deepening connection to intuitive practice and relaxation of body and mind.

Q. Do you offer meditation during the retreat?

Yes, meditation is a big part of our retreats as we firmly believe in its benefits for the body and mind. We use tantra yoga practices, yoga nidra, guided and silent meditations. The programs vary based on the retreat’s locations and intention.

Q. Do you offer mixed retreats or women only?

Love Life Retreats started as ‘a women only’ retreats. However as of January 2023 we opened our doors to all. We strive to create a very safe environment where respect for personal space is one of the key values. Please refer to our brochure to learn more about our values.

Q. Do you offer corporate wellbeing programs or customised retreats?

Yes, we absolutely do! In fact, corporate wellbeing is our new venture and we are happy to set up a call to discuss further. Please contact us for customised options should you wish to work with your partner or a group of colleagues/friends. A customised program is available on request at any of our selected venues.

Q. For destination retreats do you offer packages with flights?

When it comes to our destination retreats, similar to UK we only give you a price of a package that includes the retreat itself, accommodation and meals. There is usually an additional cost for transfers and flights. We always try our best to assist with arranging transportation or finding the right flight itinerary (if necessary) but we don’t offer a service of flight booking.

Q. For destination retreats, will there be free time to explore the culture and surroundings?

Absolutely! We always create an immersive program yet leave time for you to simply be. We call it “reflection time” during which you can journal, sleep, walk around and explore your surroundings.

Q. Do I have to have a horse riding experience for South African retreat?

Whether you have horse riding experience or not, you will have a very special time connecting with these animals and benefit from this healing connection. All of the practices we do are accompanied by at least one or two experienced riders, who follow a 5 step holistic approach to establish a connection between a rider and a horse. Only when both feel comfortable, a riding session will occur. There is always guidance and never pressure to either.

Q. Do you have insurance? Do I need my own insurance?

Each of our teachers has their own public liability insurance based on the services they provide. We always advise to have your own travel and medical insurance cover while travelling.

Q. Can I pay a full amount for the package or do I have to pay deposit first?

Yes, you can pay the full amount if it works better for you, however it is not necessary. The deposit is usually collected to secure the venue and to not go over capacity for the retreat. We usually ask for a 30% -50% deposit as a first payment to secure your space and for a balance payment 30- 60 days prior to arrival. It may vary form venue to venue.

Q. Is the deposit refundable or non-refundable?

You have 14 days to change your mind and get a full refund for a deposit payment. After 14 day period, the deposit payment is non-refundable as it covers venue payment and admin work. Please note the above is applicable only when a booking is made 30 or more days pior to start.

Q. What if I need to cancel?

Please contact us if you absolutely can’t attend and we can look at the options of transferring to a different date (if possible), or if you wish to transfer it to a friend/colleague who wants to take your space (if possible). Please refer to T&C’s for more information.
