Transcript

ever wondered what actually happens on a silent retreat in this video i'll share with you a typical day i had on a five-day silent retreat of course all retreats are run a little differently depending on who's leading it and what yoga or meditation style they teach i've done a number of them now with different teachers but they generally follow a similar daily itinerary and stick around to the end where i'll share with you when you might want to consider a more lush retreat versus a more austere ashram experience
