The weather here in North Carolina is beginning to tease us with warmth! It is supposed to be 76 degrees tomorrow! So obviously I’ve got quite the case of spring fever. I’m dreaming of blue skies, outdoor yoga, and fruit smoothies. I’m dreaming of a yoga retreat! Here is a roundup of the coolest power yoga retreats I wish I could attend this year. Maybe you can! -Ali
Sid McNary III in Tuscany, Italy June 15-22
Daily yoga practice as provided by Sid
Meditations, journaling and daily workshops
Fruit feast and guided hikes
7 nights accommodation
Three organic, locally-sourced vegetarian meals daily
Spira Power Yoga on The Big Island, Hawaii
Two yoga classes a day with the view of the Pacific Ocean. The wind is silky upon your skin, the air smells of tropical flowers, you hear birds chirping and the ocean rumbling in your savasana. And after yoga all you have to do is enjoy the fantastic amenities this incredible eco-boutique hotel & spa has to offer.
Arizona Power Yoga in Costa Rica May 26-June 1
This retreat includes daily yoga practices, surf lessons, zip-line, and a volcano tour. Price for the week includes transportation, 3 meals per day, yoga, meditation and everything mentioned above!
Kevin Collins in Sayulita, Mexico June 8-15
We’ll take this week to live your yoga, putting our usual habits on hold and diving deep into our potential. Twice daily yoga practice, amazing healthy food, morning mediation and private, secluded beaches will wash away the tension and stagnation of our daily routines.
Bryan Kest in Adrasan, Turkey June 8-15
Bryan will offer two classes of yoga per day, two hours in the morning and 1.5 hours in the late afternoon. Before the first class he will also lead a morning walk through the mountains. The retreat center is located in a nature-reserved mountain valley with an open view to the ocean. Guests are accomodated in wooden bungalows that are embedded in a beautiful garden with paradise-apple trees and flowers.
