Advice on Yoga Retreat

Hello! I am going on a yoga retreat at Joshua Tree National Park Jan 21-25. I booked the trip with my yoga friends in August, long before I joined the 60 day Build and Burn Challenge. I am debating having a bench and weights sent to the retreat center. I will miss 3 workouts if I don’t. We will be doing yoga and hiking daily. There will be a private chef who will make “clean” whole foods. Should I have equipment sent or just focus on the 5 day experience? When I return, should I make up the three missed days, or jump back on the challenge calendar? Thank you for your advice.

Hey there! That sounds like a wonderful time! As far as sending the bench and weights to the retreat center, that is 100% completely up to you on what you want to focus on: either trying to follow the challenge workouts as best as possible, or enjoying your yoga retreat as much as possible – totally a personal decision.
When you get back, I would just jump back in where the challenge is currently at and not try to make up any days.
Have a great time 🙂
I mean I personally wouldn’t do that. You can bring bands with you and follow the workouts modified with bands and body weight. Considering you will still be in wellness I would personally enjoy the yoga experience and get back into your regular weight lifting routine when you return. I’m not a moderator but I honestly don’t think it will hinder your progress considering how short your trip is. Good on you for being so eager to stay on track though!!
