Himalayan Yoga Academy Reviews
So what do you do at a yoga retreat?
Yoga of course, plus meditation and pranayama. And then whatever else is on the retreat schedule, which can be very diverse. There is often a good dose of down time for relaxation. And if you choose you can find many retreats with physical exercise too.
The whole point is like-minded yogis come together as a group for classes and sessions in yoga and other related activities.
This can be for one day to a month-long, the average time spent at a retreat is 5 days. Community and the tribe coming together, meeting new friends, is a very big part of this experience.
Because everything is pre-planned and organised for you, you have the opportunity to completely relax and enjoy the activities and spend time solely on enjoying and refreshing yourself.
So what are the most popular destinations for cheap yoga retreats?
Well the good news is you do not have to travel too far wherever you may be. There is a whole range of budget-friendly options to choose from all over the world, so there is sure to be a retreat not too far away from you. If you are in the Americas, north or south, then really popular destinations and the cheapest regions are the hubs of Jamaica, Costa Rica and Mexico, all with quick direct flights across the region.
On the other side of the Atlantic there is Portugal, and the mainland and islands of Spain waiting for you to discover. Both can be very affordable. You will also find retreat holidays in Italy to suit your budget.
If you fancy long haul to tropical South Asia then the famous yoga trails await you – wild and verdant Sri Lanka is a place for a good deal, as is Cambodia. And if you look really hard you can still find affordable options in Thailand and Bali. Just stay away from the peak holiday season, plus always search for the lowest price, as there are a lot more higher prices in these destinations these days.
The search can be daunting there are so many, from spending time on an eco-farm to white water rafting, and all offer the opportunity to practice your favorite yoga style, from dynamic morning classes to restorative sessions in the early evening after a busy day of activity.
Check out yoga and meditation retreats that can cover a whole host of spiritual work and healing activities, healthy wellness retreats that can be indulgent pampering experiences, maybe surf and yoga retreats if that’s what you are into.
There are no end of options for you, from the foothills of the Himalaya on a retreat in India, the seaside in Portugal, the countryside of England in the United Kingdom, to the Costa Rican jungle beaches, there will always be a retreat to match what you are looking for.
On any of these you will find options for your favorite asana – whether that be popular vinyasa flow, Hatha yoga or stretching yin. And there should be time to spend on an extra focus like yoga nidra or Acroyoga.
Whatever takes your fancy will be possible, and all within your budget and with everything you expect, no compromises, no sacrifices, just unadulterated fun, yoga and adventure. Go for it.
