Frequently asked question about attending a yoga retreat Q: OK, so I'm all about yoga and spirituality, but I don't think I want to go all that way and not relax with a glass of wine or a beer on my vacation . "Is this a dry retreat?" A: Bottom line, this is your retreat... If what allows you to relax and be in the moment is a glass of wine or a beer, who am I to take that away from you? Now, do I want you to show up to practice intoxicated or hung over? Probably not. That would certainly take away from your experience. So you decide what works for you. Beer and wine are available for purchase at dinner each evening;)

A frequently asked question about attending a yoga retreat: Q: "I have a special diet. Will the retreat center be able to accommodate my dietary needs?" A: Nutrition is of upmost importance. I have a special diet myself. So I completely understand. Most retreat centers can absolutely accommodate just about any dietary need. Haramara is no exception. In fact they pride themselves on the quality of their food . Master chefs prepare 3 vegetarian-based meals each day. One of the meals each day will also offer an option of fish, seafood or tofu. Dietary needs, such as gluten intolerance, and allergies will absolutely be accommodated .
