Attractive yoga combinations for your retreat in Europe
Whoever is looking for a holiday full of relaxation, books a yoga retreat with wellness. For this we offer special wellness hotels, which put a special focus on yoga. In addition to the daily practice, however, the wellness program is not neglected. Massages, sauna sessions, baths or beauty treatments are on the daily program and accompany you through your retreat.
A popular combination is yoga and hiking. Whether in Germany, Austria, Spain or Malta, you can hike almost anywhere in Europe. Whether mountain or coastal landscape, the break in nature just does you good. The combination of hiking and yoga works especially well, because after a long hike, calm yin yoga relaxes the muscles and lets body and mind come to rest.
This combination is a bliss for the soul and more relaxation on all levels hardly possible. The yoga exercises prepare the body for meditation and help the body and mind to relax. The subsequent meditation helps to reduce stress, stay in the here and now and improve attention. Yoga and meditation together have many positive effects on our health.
Many places in Europe offer yoga retreats in combination with surfing . This type of retreat is suitable for people who like a little action on vacation. The daily yoga prepares you perfectly for the surf session and also helps with regeneration afterwards. Yoga and surf camps can be found mainly in Portugal, but they are also very popular in Spain or on the Canary Islands. The movement on and around the water has an invigorating effect and gives you new strength.
Also yoga and Ayurveda are closely intertwined. Everyone who is intensively engaged in yoga, sooner or later also meets Ayurveda, the "art of life". The Indian art of healing is taught in many centers in Europe, always with yoga as an integral part. Yoga is the harmonization of body and mind through asanas and breathing exercises, while Ayurveda is designed to promote physical and mental well-being through a diet and lifestyle tailored to the individual. A great combination!
Finally, there is the combination of yoga and fasting, which many yoga travelers in Europe like to book. Fasting retreats are offered throughout Europe and promise a cleansing of body and mind, a kind of new start. When fasting, exercise is particularly important, so as not to lose muscle mass, but also because movement makes you happy and distracts you from hunger. So yoga is the perfect sport here to support your fasting journey.
