Yoga Retreats

Yoga retreats are a great way to combine a holiday with relaxation. Many health spas combine yoga classes with a range of exotic and regular treatments. And there are even health retreats scattered around the globe, so you can enjoy the benefits of an international destination as well!

For example, in Mexico, Eco Tulum Resorts offer a range of treatments that draw on local Mexican traditions. They have daily hatha yoga classes on the beach, and a variety of spa treatments available.

For pristine lakes and snow capped mountains in the background, the Island Lake Resort in British Columbia, Canada, is hard to pass up. There are daily yoga classes, and heli-cat skiing in winter. They also host a wellness retreat for women by the renowned menopause and women's health writer, Dr Christiane Northrup every year in September.

If you'd prefer to set sail, Royal Caribbean have a new ship that has very roomy fitness facilities. They offer yoga, pilates, strength training equipment, cardio machines, cycling, kickboxing, and much more. And you can't beat that ocean view!
