Originally from India, yoga has truly conquered the world! It not only tones the body, but also heals the soul. What is your experience with yoga? Do you envy your friends who have already perfected their ravens, dogs and cobras? Today we will take you to discover the best places to do yoga!
Bali
Bali is an island belonging to the Indonesian archipelago, another place rich in spirituality and that is why it is called “the island of the gods”! Although yoga was not traditionally part of Balinese culture, its ideologies of harmony and nature could no longer be in line with the island’s Zen vibe. Ubud is particularly magical despite tourism having been booming for years.
Perhaps it is because of the fascinating Hindu ceremonies that the locals perform here? Or maybe the scents of aromatic plants and incense sticks that darken the atmosphere? Or perhaps the breathtaking nature of waterfalls, rice fields and volcanoes? Here in Bali you will find many Yoga retreats where you can go and enjoy the landscapes and relaxation they offer you.
Sri Lanka
Due to its geographical and cultural proximity to India, yoga also has a long tradition in Sri Lanka. This idyllic island only really opened up to tourism after the civil war ended in 2009, which of course means yoga retreats have only emerged in recent years.
Most of the hostels are located on the south coast, where you can surf after yoga! Doing a Yoga venue in Sri Lanka won’t be difficult at all, there are a lot of beautiful places to organize your events and enjoy your yoga session!
Tulúm
Another tropical paradise that has become popular in recent years thanks to its great beaches and relaxed atmosphere is Tulúm. The city is located on the east coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and has always been a popular destination with travelers. Unlike other places on the Mexican Caribbean coast, there is a strong emphasis on environmental awareness and sustainability.
Tulum’s relaxing atmosphere makes it the perfect place to immerse yourself in the world of yoga. There are also yoga schools like Studio Sanara which is located directly on the sea to feel the salt water in your hair and the sand on your skin!
Morocco
Another place for your yoga bucketlist: Morocco! This charming North African country is a great place to pamper your body thanks to its spa culture and numerous hammams, so a relaxing yoga session is obviously the perfect accompaniment. When in Marrakech, you should of course also explore the lively medina, with its many souks, narrow streets and cafes.
You’ll also find some great yoga spots along the coast. Here you can also test your sense of balance on the surfboard.
Hawaii
Spiritual locations, incredibly diverse nature, impressive volcanoes, and year-round pleasant weather – Hawaii is understandably one of the most beautiful places in the world to practice yoga. While Hawaii may not be the cheapest place on this list, it is certainly one of the most magical.
The Pacific tropics have long been known for their mystical energy and attract generations of travelers who want to connect with their spirituality and harmonize with nature.
