Maybe you had a stressful winter and want to make good on your 2020 New Year’s resolution to live a healthier lifestyle. Perhaps it’s a matter of wanting to feel closer to nature, deepening your yoga practice and unblocking your chakras. Or maybe you simply want to treat yourself to a holiday in an exotic destination and feel a little smug about doing lots of yoga. Nothing should be stopping you from this. Not even the seemingly sky-high prices of yoga retreats. But you know we always have your back. So here are five awesome, yet affordable yoga retreats – you can thank us later.

Thailand
Pure Yoga Flow in Koh Pangan
Cost:
£96/night (3 nights/4 days)
£90/night (6 nights/7 days)
Imagine yourself with a coconut in one hand and your book in the other, underneath a palm tree waiting for your yoga class to start. The sun is shining, the ocean has never looked more turquoise than it is now and you’re not entirely sure if you’re actually. Although, you are. Whether you want this dream to last four days or fourteen, the programmes offered here are super flexible, so the choice is all yours.
Portugal
Yoga & Surf Spring Retreat
Ocean and Yoga
Cost: £865 Pounds (£145/night)
This retreat will have you feeling closer to nature than ever. Between meditating, practicing yoga in the middle of a beautiful farm, and surfing, you will take part in nature reconnection workshops, such as planting trees and learning how to study the ocean. And to top it all off, all meals are prepared with fresh ingredients from their own little garden and often enjoyed on a picnic blanket overlooking the sea.


Philippines
Puppies & Yoga in Siargao Island
Lotus Shores Retreats
Cost: £1,070 (£214/night)
Okay, maybe this is not the most affordable option. Before you get too excited, it isn’t actually a retreat with puppy instructors or props. But, all of the proceedings from this retreat go to an animal project in the Philippines. So while doing what you love and enjoying this amazing gift to yourself, you will also be giving back to animals that need your help. This week will teach you to practice compassion on and off the mat. The paradise-like location of the retreat, just a few feet away from a sandy white beach could potentially be another plus. Just sayin’….
Jamaica
Tmrw.Tday Festival with Adzventure Retreats in Negril
Cost: £920 (£153/night)
Organized in majestic Negril in Jamaica this yoga retreat is the ultimate way to kick start your summer. It’s a cross between a yoga retreat and music festival (the dream). The package includes yoga workshops, meditation, dance classes, and breakfast. Pretty basic, right? Wrong. It also includes cliff jumping and cave swimming and reggae beach parties andtribe talks. Which also translates to: once you are there you’re probably just never coming home.


Greece
Luxury yoga retreat on the stunning island of Ithaca
Itha108
Cost: £825 (£118/ night)
It took ten years for Odysseus to go back to Ithaca, but lucky for you planes are a thing now so getting there will be way easier. Itha108 is considered to be one of the most beautiful yoga retreats in Europe and there is a reason why. Surrounded by natural beauty and overlooking the Ionian Sea, Itha108 couldn’t be more perfect for finding some peace and practicing yoga. Between practicing, you can explore some of the most beautiful beaches on the island that are just five minutes away from the retreat. By foot. Oh yeah. If that’s not good enough, all meals are home cooked and based on Greek cuisine with a contemporary touch – all vegetarian. Still not convinced? They offer massage treatments. I mean, come on.
Peru
Give back with Souljourn Yoga
Cost: £2,082 (£232/night) inclusive of a $500 Donation to the Sacred Valley Project
Although this retreat costs a tad more than the others, Nomad supports “meaningful” travel where it can.
