Finding your flow abroad

From rainforest hideaways in Bali to mountain lodges in New Zealand, yoga retreats come in every shape and style. Some are about slow mornings and mindful movement, others about deep practice and digital detox. Wherever you roll out your mat, a retreat offers more than just a holiday ? It's time to reset body and mind, meet like-minded travellers, and return home with a fresh perspective.

Why Travellers Love Yoga Retreats 

Yoga retreats blend wellness, travel, and community. They give you space to:

  • Recharge and de-stress-with guided practice, healthy food, and nature all around.
  • Deepen your practice-extra time on the mat helps improve strength, flexibility, and focus.
  • Find balance- daily routines designed for stillness and self-care can do wonders for mental health.
  • Meet new people-shared classes and group meals make it easy to connect without the usual distractions.

It's little wonder retreats have become a global travel trend, drawing everyone from beginners to lifelong yogis.

What's not covered?

Unattended items

Reckless behaviour

If you are intentionally putting yourself in harm's way and injure yourself we cannot be expected to cover you for reckless or dangerous behaviour.

Change of mind

Scooter riding without a helmet

You would only be covered to ride a motorbike or scooter if you wearing a helmet and holding the relevant and valid licence for the bike you are riding.
