Yoga in Bali
Partying up a storm and drinking those decadent, colourful cocktails start to take a toll on your body after a while. So even if you’re in full holiday mode – sleeping in, soaking up the sun, and spending time in the ocean – you could end your trip feeling slightly jaded.
The good news is that this doesn’t have to be the case… just add a couple of days at a yoga retreat on to the end of your trip and you can fly home feeling fully rested and ready to tackle the work week ahead. The choices are endless – you will find daily, weekly, and monthly retreats that centre on everything from yoga to detoxing to personal growth and meditation.
Looking for a nudge in the right direction? We’ve put together a list of some of the most fabulous Balinese retreats:
