- Ma Jhon

We'd love to make that happen for all world nomads and the yogi in
you, so here are surefire ways to choose your best yoga retreat on
planet Earth.
How to Choose Your Vacation Destination
If you're going on vacation, the first thing you want to think
about is...where do you want to go?
Do you want to be
by the Beach
near the mountains, in the forest, amongst nature, where there is
tropical weather, or cool weather, on an island, in the city,
etc?

etc?
If you want to bask on the beach in your off time, you might
consider places like
Bali Thailand
(Koh Samui, Koh Phangan),
Costa Rica
(magnificent stretches of beaches are on both its Pacific and
Caribbean sides)
Are you ok being in a place where English isn't the main
language?
Know The Teacher
Remember back in school when you had that teacher who was so
inspiring that it totally changed the way you interacted with a
certain subject?
That's the power a good, professional yoga teacher has.
A great teacher can inspire you and other retreat guests to heights
beyond which you didn't think possible.

beyond which you didn't think possible.
Make sure you get a good feeling about your yoga teacher.
Check out reviews if they have any. If you've attended a basic yoga
class at a yoga studio with them already, do you want to go deeper
with them into yoga, guided meditation sessions or other wellness
activities on a yoga holiday?
In the end, it's best to make a decision with your intuition on this
one. You're probably a good judge of people.
What is the Theme of the Retreat?
What do you want in your retreat?
It's a good idea to truly ask yourself this question. What am I
looking to get out of this retreat?
If you want to just relax on a beautiful beach, you definitely don't
want to choose a
weight lose retreat
or a
hiking retreat
in the mountain. Maybe you do want spa treatments on a healing
retreat, and that's that.
But you may want to go deeper into your practice, unplug from the
craziness, recharge your batteries, be inspired to start a daily
routine, lose weight, learn more about a certain yoga style like
Hatha yoga or Vinyasa yoga flow, Yin yoga, Integral yoga researching
yoga philosophy, Kundalini yoga, Tantra yoga, or just chill out with
a Restorative yoga class or some Nidra Yoga.
Whatever it is you want, make a short list of the best yoga retreats
in alignment with that.
You'll be spending real quality time with like minded people who
resonate with the same things, and true friendships can come out of
the best wellness, meditation and yoga retreats.
The Price is Right
We pay for the things we value most.
When we truly want something, we always find a way to make it
happen. If you're working so hard, you deserve to look at affordable
yoga retreats that will truly bring you back to center.
At BookRetreats.com you now have access to filters enabling
traveling yogis to set a price range, and only see retreats that fit
their budget. For example, If you're looking for a retreat under
$1200, just use the slider and set the maximum to $1200. You'll save
time by filtering out all the retreats that are over what you want
to spend.
You can also use the "Sort By Lowest Price" option. That will sort
all the retreats by the lowest price. We often have retreats as low
as $150-$200, so we've got something for every budget.
But it's not always advisable to go for a cheap yoga retreat just
because it seems too good to be true (which means, it probably is).
It's best to choose exactly what you want and find a way to make
that happen. You may be surprised that you can afford some luxury
yoga retreats and get you the yoga vacation of a lifetime.
That being said, it's important to double check whether the retreat
price includes lodging and food. Most do, but you never want to
assume...
Remember the cost of your flight ticket as well.
Here's a nice tip: some retreats can be cheaper in the low season when
not so many tourists are in the area.
Timing is Everything
Do you just want to get away for a weekend retreat?
Or do you want to take a week and really go deep into your practice?
There's no doubt that you can touch places within yourself on longer
retreats that are often not touched in a short break retreat. But
you might simply be needing a weekend to touch base.
Only you know.
The wonderful thing is that you have a ton of options.
