And, if the mood strikes, you can even step out to enjoy your favorite fitness class, grab a delicious meal or coffee, and spend some time in nature. Ready to create your ultimate reset day? Let’s get started!
Supplies You’ll Need
- Yoga Mat: Your trusty yoga mat is essential for your morning practice and any other movement you incorporate throughout the day.
- Journal and Pen: A journal will help you set your intentions in the morning and reflect on your day in the evening. It’s also a great tool for jotting down any thoughts or inspirations that come up during your retreat.
- Comfortable Clothing: Choose cozy, breathable clothes that you can move in easily and relax in throughout the day. Favorite robe, or comfy leggings and sweatshirt.
- Essential Oils or Candles: For your bath and to create a serene atmosphere in your space.
- Bath Supplies: Epsom salts, essential oils, and any other bath products that help you relax and unwind.
- Healthy Snacks and Meals: Plan ahead for your nourishing meals and snacks to keep your body fueled and happy.
- Water Bottle: Stay hydrated throughout the day.
- Skincare Products: Your favorite cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer for an evening skincare routine.
- Favorite Fitness Class Gear: If you’re heading out for a fitness class, make sure to have any equipment or attire you need.
- Walking Shoes: If you plan to spend time in nature, comfortable shoes are a must.
Limit phone use
This may be the most difficult task. Try to distance yourself from using your phone on this day. Give yourself a phone detox! We promise social media will still be there when you finish your retreat!
Set Your intentions & schedule/prep your day
The first step to crafting your perfect retreat is setting your intentions. Take a few minutes with your journal and pen to write down what you want to get out of this day. Are you looking to de-stress, boost your energy, or simply indulge in some self-care? Having a clear intention will help you shape the flow of your day and ensure that you get the most out of your retreat.
Just like if you had any other plans or events that you would put in your phone, make sure you pre-schedule your day for YOU. Plan ahead so there's zero interferences and make sure you clean your space to get the most relaxing rewarding day for yourself.
Start with a gentle morning
Start your retreat day by waking up naturally, without an alarm. Take a few moments to stretch in bed and breathe deeply. When you’re ready, roll out your yoga mat for a gentle session. Choose a flow that feels good to you—whether it’s a few simple stretches, a sun salutation sequence, or a full Vinyasa practice. The goal is to wake up your body and mind in a way that’s both grounding and energizing.
After your practice, treat yourself to a nourishing breakfast. Think about what fuels you and tastes delicious—perhaps a smoothie bowl with fresh fruits and nuts, avocado toast with a sprinkle of seeds, or a warm bowl of oatmeal with your favorite toppings.
Get Moving: Your Favorite Fitness Class
Late morning is the perfect time to get your body moving. If you have a favorite fitness class—be it yoga, Pilates, spin, or something else—this is the time to go! The energy of the group can be invigorating, and it’s a great way to kickstart your day. If you’re more in the mood to stay in, no problem! Stream a class online or do your own thing at home—whatever makes you feel empowered and energized. But make sure you actually move if your stay home! It's easy to sit down and scroll on socials or get distracted with a show.
Indulge in Your Favorite Meal or Coffee
After your workout, it’s time to indulge. Head out to your favorite café or restaurant and treat yourself to something delicious. Maybe it’s a vibrant salad, a cozy bowl of soup, or that sandwich you’ve been craving. Don’t forget a coffee or tea to sip on—it’s the little things that make the day special. If you prefer to stay home, you can always bring your favorite meal back with you or prepare something tasty in your kitchen. The focus is on nourishing your body with wholesome ingredients.
Afternoon in Nature: Your Outdoor Escape
Now that you’re nourished and energized, it’s time to connect with nature. Step outside for a walk in the park, a hike on a nearby trail, or just spend some quiet time outside. Let the natural beauty around you calm your mind and rejuvenate your spirit. This is your time to breathe deeply, enjoy the fresh air, and let go of any lingering stress. Take time to pause and notice little details you may not notice on a regular day. Don't forget to take your journal along with you and paused to reflect and write down your thoughts and feelings.
Fun Add On: Feel free to stay and watch the sunset. Don't rush your time outside. Plan to be outside for at least an hour!
option for a relaxing yin yoga class
If you're in the mood for a gentle meditative practice before bed, consider doing a Yin Yoga session. Yin focuses on slow, passive stretches held for longer periods of time, making it prefect for winding down your evening. You can pop on a YouTube video or attend a class at your favorite studio. Use this time to release any lingering tension in your body and prepare your mind for a restful night's sleep.
Unwind with a Luxurious Evening Bath & Skin care
As your day begins to wind down, it’s time to indulge in some serious relaxation. Draw yourself a warm, luxurious bath. Add Epsom salts to soothe your muscles, a few drops of essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus for a calming scent, and light some candles to set the mood. Sink into the tub and let all the tension melt away. Feel free to play some calming music, bring your current book, or maybe spoil yourself with your favorite glass of wine and some chocolate covered strawberries! This is your time to completely unwind, so take your time and enjoy every moment.
After your bath, don't forget to hydrate with our favorite body and face lotion.
End the Day with a Light, Nourishing Dinner
As your retreat day comes to a close, enjoy a light and nourishing dinner. Whether you dine out at a cozy restaurant or prepare something simple at home, focus on a meal that feels comforting and satisfying. A warm bowl of soup, a fresh salad, or some roasted veggies with a side of grains can be the perfect way to end your day. Keep it light so your body feels good as you wind down for the evening.
Wind Down and Reflect
Finally, end your retreat day with a little reflection. Slip into your coziest pajamas, maybe make yourself a cup of herbal tea, and spend a few moments journaling or simply reflecting on your day. What did you enjoy the most? How are you feeling now compared to when you started? Gratitude is a powerful tool, so take a moment to acknowledge the things you’re thankful for.
And there you have it—the perfect blueprint for an at-home yoga and wellness retreat day that leaves you feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready to take on whatever comes next. By blending movement, nourishing meals, time in nature, and self-care, you’ve created a day that’s all about you. Whether you choose to venture out for part of the day or keep things cozy at home, the goal is to honor yourself with the time and care you deserve. So go ahead, plan your retreat, gather your supplies, and enjoy every moment of your perfect reset day—you’ve earned it!
