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 resting 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 teacher 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 sanitize in a retreat environment than in a daily practice.”
Older yoga enthusiasts will love the Como Shambhala, located 575 miles from Miami in the Caribbean Islands (Turks and Caicos, specifically). This 1,000 square foot sanctuary offers the kind of soft, white sand and turquoise water you’d anticipate from a tropical vacation destination, while providing you with simple yet beautiful teak and white cotton furnished rooms. For your free time, diving and snorkeling are favorite pastimes. Choose from annual retreats such as: Yoga Play & Discovery, On Top of the World With Judy Krupp, The 7 Chakras on Kundalini Yoga, Yoga Shanti Retreat and Bali Ashtanga Yoga Adventure. Yoga retreat rates run around ,240 for one week, all inclusive. In 2006, Como Shambhala won Spa Finder Magazine’s “Best Spa In Indonesia,” The Ultimate Spa Guide’s “Top Spas In Asia” and Travel & Leisure’s “World’s Best Hotel Spa Caribbean Bermuda and the Bahamas” awards, to name a few.
All too often we leave our vacation feeling like we need another vacation from the grueling tourist’s pace we kept the entire time. Why not choose a resting, rejuvenating yoga retreat that will leave you feeling healthier, more well-rested and spiritually sanitized than ever before?
The world is a fantastic place filled with diversity and new discoveries at every turn. One of these discoveries for the Western world came in the form of Yoga. This ancient practice was known primarily in Eastern religions such as Buddhism or Hinduism but has since become a very popular form of exercise. It is more than that though. It is a process of centering the mind and body into one fluid machine that’s highly aware of itself and surroundings. Yoga can be performed by anyone of any age and is great for those beginning their trek into a healthier lifestyle.
