Yoga retreat

If you're struggling to fit self-care into your busy calendar, why not demand more from your
next vacation? Sure, a beach getaway will help you unwind, but it doesn't leave you with
strategies to manage the problems that return once you're back home.

Satisfy your wanderlust with a yoga retreat and experience the benefits of cultivating a daily
practice under the guidance of some of the world's best teachers. You'll not only feel better
and more relaxed, but you'll also leave with simple techniques to infuse into your daily
routine, bolstering your mental and physical health for months and years to come.

Thanks to yoga's skyrocketing popularity, there are a wealth of options to choose from, and
you're in good company: Wellness tourism is growing at a rapid rate. Here are some of the top
yoga retreats around the world.

1) Founded by London-based osteopath Dr. Sam Kankanamge, the Sen Wellness

Sanctuary is a retreat center nestled on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Its tailor-made
wellness programs are offered throughout the year and rooted in Ayurvedic treatment.
In addition to meditation, yoga, and Ayurvedic treatment, the programs include sound
and gong baths for deep relaxation and energy clearing, as well as Ayurvedic cooking
classes and more.

2) No list of yoga retreats would be complete without an option in India. In addition to

training new and experienced teachers, Ashiyana Goa suits practitioners of all levels,
offering an extensive range of retreats throughout the year, as well as design-your-own
yoga holidays, where you can opt for drop-in classes, one-to-one holistic yoga therapy,
or the Holistic Program, which combines yoga therapy, massage, meditation, and
pranayama (breath work). Rooms range from beach huts to luxury suites, and you'll
have access to Ayurvedic treatments at the on-site spa plus Ashiyana's creative
activities and workshops. Ashiyana's second location opened in Brazil last year.
