Have you ever been on a yoga retreat?

I have always dreamed of going on one. There's something so alluring about the thought of doing yoga in a beautiful, faraway place. I can picture myself waking up to the gorgeous countryside of Spain or Thailand, spending simple, relaxed days that involve only yoga, meditation, delicious food, and a little sightseeing.

I've done a few silent retreats locally, and I've always wanted to go somewhere exotic for a retreat.

I recently discovered an awesome resource for yogis interested in traveling abroad for a retreat and/or completing an international yoga teacher training program. It's a site called BookYogaRetreats.com, and I encourage you to check it out.

BookYogaRetreats.com is a travel website where people can book yoga retreats and courses all over the world. The site features around 100 yoga vacations and programs, all ranging from upscale resorts to humble homestays and ashrams. What's great is that the site doesn't charge registration or service fees, either.
