What to Bring and Know before you go

What to Bring

Yoga Clothing: Comfortable, breathable clothes that allow freedom of movement for your yoga sessions. Consider light, moisture-wicking clothes for the hot weather, and warm layers for cooler evenings.
Swimwear: Bring swimwear to enjoy the beach and any water-based activities such as snorkeling, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water.
Sun Protection: Zanzibar’s sun can be strong, so be sure to pack sunscreen (reef-safe), sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat for protection.
Comfortable Footwear: Flip-flops or sandals for the beach and light hiking shoes for the mindfulness walks along the beach.
Personal Journal: A journal for daily reflections, guided by meditation prompts. This is a valuable tool for self-discovery during the retreat.

Physical Preparation

Yoga Experience: This retreat is suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners. However, if you’re new to yoga, it’s helpful to familiarize yourself with basic poses and breathwork beforehand.
Physical Conditioning: Since yoga can be physically demanding, it’s a good idea to engage in some light physical activity prior to the retreat (e.g., walking, stretching, or gentle yoga). This will help your body acclimatize and prepare for the intensity of daily sessions.
Hydration: Zanzibar can be hot and humid, so it’s crucial to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to the retreat to prepare your body for the warm climate.

Mental Preparation

Open Mind: Come with a mindset of openness, willing to explore new practices and step out of your comfort zone. The mindfulness meditation and yoga sessions will challenge you to be present and self-reflective, so an open heart and mind will enhance your experience.
Intentions for the Retreat: Before arriving, think about what you’d like to get out of the retreat. Is it relaxation? Clarity? A deeper connection with yourself? Setting clear intentions will help guide you through your retreat and allow for greater personal growth.
Embrace Stillness: While you’re in Zanzibar, take the opportunity to disconnect from the distractions of daily life. This retreat provides the perfect space for stillness, relaxation, and deep reflection.

Dietary Considerations

Notify the Retreat Team: If you have specific dietary preferences or restrictions (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free), let the retreat organizers know in advance. Zanzibar’s cuisine can accommodate various dietary needs, and the retreat will provide meals tailored to your preferences.
Enjoy Local Flavors: Embrace the opportunity to try local Zanzibari cuisine. The meals are designed to nourish you while offering a chance to explore the island’s vibrant food culture.

Packing Tips

Lightweight and Versatile Clothing: Zanzibar’s tropical climate means you’ll want lightweight, breathable clothing, but also some layers for cooler evenings.
Snacks: Although the meals provided are nutritious, you may want to bring along some healthy snacks (nuts, dried fruits) in case you need extra energy between sessions.
Camera: Don’t forget your camera or smartphone to capture the beauty of Zanzibar and the memories you’ll make during your retreat (though remember to embrace the opportunity for screen-free moments too).
