Going on a retreat is an incredibly powerful way to deepen your meditation and/or yoga practice. They provide the optimal setting and influence of teachers to allow you to sink into deeper levels of silence and understanding of yourself than is often possible in the hustle of normal life.

 

Here are some meditation and/or yoga retreats of other teachers around the world we've put together to help you find one that fits what you're looking for.

For nearly 50 years the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat has been a leading destination for people seeking a spiritual environment to study and practice yoga and develop a healthy lifestyle. Located on one of the finest beaches in the world, it is truly an island paradise and a sanctuary of peace and natural beauty. The ashram is open year-round for visitors with daily meditation, chanting, yoga and delicious meals. See the website below to see specific themed programs and the incredible visiting speakers who frequent this oasis.

[Lara's note: I come here every year and it's one of my favourite places on earth to connect to myself, deepen my meditation practice, meet incredible people and feel good. I've taken the Ayuverdic Cooking Course as well as Stress-Relief courses and have attended as a Yoga Vacationer and recommend all of them. I have also visited the Sivananda Ashrams at their locations in Kerala, India and Grass Valley, California, both of which I highly recommend as well!]
