Yoga Retreat
Amid the
clamor of obligations, rush hour traffic, nagging bosses and the
chaos of daily life, the last thing most Americans want is a
high-volume vacation that requires a lot of running around and
planning. Why not try a week at a relaxing yoga retreat, where you
will leave with a deep-seated serenity and awareness? You can go
anywhere from India to Mexico in search of rejuvenation and
spiritual connectedness. With a combination of yoga, massages,
jacuzzi tubs and healthy eating, a yoga retreat is more than just a
vacation -- it's a whole new way of life and in some ways, a
rebirth.
Yoga retreat vacations are great for beginners and advanced
practitioners alike. A Yoga instructor since 1997, Jillian Pransky
says, "Many of my students are city dwellers. Their yoga is fit in
between running in and out of busy streets and wedged into their
busy workloads. They get little respite and often don't get the
dramatic effect they experience on retreat. Your body has more time
to open, change, purify and cleanse in a retreat environment than in
a daily practice."
For young, budget-conscious couples, the ten-day Inspya Yoga Retreat
in Bali starts at $1009. Stay at the Greenfield Bungalows amid rice
fields, tropical gardens and monkey forests. Visit temples, Mount
Agung volcano and coral reefs in your free time. Paint a mural,
participate in Balinese dance, meditate, learn to cook, make an
offering or a wood carving, get a massage, swim in a spring water
swimming pool, eat in an open-air restaurant, learn Ashtanga Vinyasa
yoga and breathing techniques, or meet a traditional Balian healer.
Loads of Aussies, Europeans and Americans flock here to find respite
from daily stress.
You can go alone or with friends and spouses, you can take a
high-intensity work out or a slow methodical yoga class, you can go
to India or Thailand. Yoga Retreat destinations are varied and
breath-taking, so start planning your spiritual vacation today!
