If your idea of a perfect vacation means accomplishing the outmost in relaxation, consider going on a yoga retreat.
As you’ll find out, the locations for such unique getaways boast amazing scenic beauty and offer a respite from the outside world.
Picture yourself immersed in meditation while absorbing the serenity of the Appalachian Mountains; or soul-searching while marveling in the colors of the North Carolina landscapes.
Among the favorite destinations, the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health reigns supreme. With its privileged position in western Massachusetts, this outstanding resort is ideal for anyone looking to recharge their batteries.
It’s in fact a perfect example of what a yoga holiday is all about.
But if you’re concerned that it might be rigid and structured set your worries aside. At Kripalu you have the freedom to plan your itinerary. The “Renewal Packages” of the Kripalu Retreat include all accommodations, meals, workshops, outdoor activities and the use of the facilities on site. These include a sauna and fitness room.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, the Kripalu’s staff is available to answer all questions prior to arrival. A typical day may include a stretching session upon awakening, followed by a vigorous walk through the lakefront trails. Or you may opt for a quiet hour of meditation on the beach. You can take a “self-improvement” workshop or treat yourself to a morning of kayaking and hiking. The chef in charge of preparing the meals will delight you with locally grown products. His methods of cooking will tantalize your palate while helping you stay fit and healthy.
And after lunch, you’ll have the chance to participate in yoga dancing, sit in on a lecture or get pampered with a massage. After a restful nap, you might want to join others in a yoga class. Or how about learning the art of tai chi amidst the colorful garden blooms?
You’ll find that the evenings are also filled with surprises ranging from art exhibits to music concerts. And before calling it a night, why not go for a detoxifying sauna?
Since the main purpose for a yoga retreat is to obtain an ideal balance of body, spirit and mind, why not make your reservations now?
