Imagine waking up for a sun salutation on the cliffs looking out over the Arabian Sea, then spending the rest of the day catching the swell breaking onto the shore – or trying both at the same time.

All the yoga destinations of Morocco are great for getting to know the country and its culture, so your retreat will be about much more than yoga in the end.

One of the first-ever yoga retreats in Europe, Quinta Da Calma is now easily considered to be one of the best in the world. Located a short drive from the beautiful beaches of the Algarve, it offers the opportunity to disconnect completely from modern life.

Famed for being the birthplace of ashtanga, the historic city of Mysore is the perfect location to learn and practise this fairly dynamic form of yoga.
