Yoga in Salento, Italy - © www.yogainsalento.com
Whether you're combining yoga with winter sports in the Swiss Alps or meditating below Tiger Cave in Bhutan, one thing's for certain: by the time you fly home you'll be relaxed, happy and bursting with inner peace.
Sirsasana practice in Italy
Astanga Vinyasa yoga retreats focusing on sirsasana – aka the headstand – are held at La Campine, an eco-masseria in Italy’s Salento region. Nicely decorated apartments, organic food from the property’s vegetable garden and a lovely swimming pool all make for a deeply rejuvenating break.

Sun salutations in the Swiss Alps
Start the day with asana practice to warm up your muscles for a day of skiing, snowboarding or snow walking. Later, return home for another yoga class to wind down and stretch those aching muscles. This unique retreat, based in the lovely village of Wengen, aims to show how yoga can complement and enhance skiing and other sports.
