Ubud, probably one of the best yoga destinations

If you go on a trip to Bali in March, don't miss, for 5 days, one of the most popular festivals among yoga enthusiasts: the Bali Spirit Festival. It takes place in Ubud and welcomes the best teachers of music, dance, and yoga to give their classes in this peaceful and serene atmosphere. A true ode to well-being, the Bali Spirit Festival perfectly embodies the central mantra of Balinese Hinduism, Tri Hita Karana. It helps to live in harmony with our spiritual, social, and environmental surroundings... and to find inner peace. You can choose to experience this festival as a yoga retreat and thus discover different types of sports: you will find teachers of kundalini yoga (yoga of vital energy), Yin, or even integral yoga.

In Kerala, India, the cradle of yoga

With the utmost respect for ancestral and Ayurvedic traditions, yogis perpetuate their art. In Kerala, a state located in the southwest of the country, nature is abundant. You will find many wellness centers offering traditional treatments, yoga teachings, yoga workshops, meditation classes at the ashram... Ayurvedic is the traditional Sanskrit Indian medicine. Made up of wellness massages and natural treatments, Ayurveda is inseparable from the practice of yoga. It is important to note that yoga does not impose any faith and has a strong meditative aspect that is not devotion, although some centers are located in holy cities. Do not hesitate to try this experience during a trip to South India.

In Goa, India

Why not combine beach holidays with yoga classes? This is what the Little Cove Yoga Retreat offers. Close to nature, the centers in Goa have everything to please and are ideal for opening our chakras. An eco-friendly cottage, vegetarian Indian meals... The classes given by gurus aim to give you inner calm and ideal physical health, and will allow you to refocus. Ayurvedic treatments are also on the program here.

Sayulita, in Mexico

Want a yoga retreat far from the crowds? A trip to Mexico may be your solution. On magnificent beaches and within lush nature. Surfing is often combined with the practice of yoga. You will feel the benefits of yoga even more thanks to the surrounding nature, conducive to meditation.

Soh Samuli in Thailand

Thailand is probably one of the up-and-coming destinations for the practice of yoga. Often, training centers offer several cross-disciplinary activities: singing, philosophy, meditation, and especially breathwork. Perhaps less authentic than Indian practice, but going to Thailand will offer you a rewarding retreat.
