GoogleI have been on three retreats with Yoga Escapes (Morocco, Corfu and Crete) in the last two years and am headed to Egypt at the end of February. As a solo traveller, it works perfectly for me with the reassurance of knowing that the restaurants are organised for each evening. The teaching is first class - Alice is my particular favourite but I know from speaking to other returning clients that all of the teachers are amazing. The accommodation is generally in five star hotels so rooms and facilities are very luxurious. Laura makes sure every detail is taken care of - she is a fount of knowledge for all of the locations. I really cannot recommend Yoga Escapes more highly.
I have been on 3 retreats now (Mykonos, Egypt, and Menorca) with more planned for the future. The trips are well organized and safe for female solo travelers. Once you navigate the airports the rest of the week is for you to enjoy with a mix of yoga for all levels, solo time, and group activities. Teachers are amazing, resorts are peaceful and beautiful, group activities are fun, and everything is optional with zero stress. I have found these retreats to be transformative in nature and a holistic getaway of great value.
I’ve been away twice with Yoga Escapes (Sicily/ Lanzarote) and both times have been just what I needed! Great for a solo traveller (especially if it’s your first time by yourself!). Hotels are always gorgeous. I come home the most relaxed I’ve ever been! Amazing food, and lovely to have a group to go to dinner with and all organised by Laura. Even better having a yoga retreat where you aren’t restricted with food or your time in between yoga! I always look forward to seeing Laura and Sarah and hope to see them again soon!
I have been on at least eight Yoga Escapes holidays which speaks for itself! It is a perfect blend of a luxury holiday and well taught yoga classes with experienced teachers. Laura spends a lot of time researching areas to find fantastic hotels in beautiful locations, charming restaurants and great experiences for day excursions. However you are under no obligation to do anything you don't feel like, you can opt in or out of dinners and classes. It's treated as being very much your holiday. Also you meet people from all over the world and often meet up with people you've met on previous holidays. So many people return again and again. Laura organises everything calmly and capably and is on hand for advice or help. I really can't recommend Yoga Escapes highly enough.
I cannot recommend Yoga Escapes enough. I recently went on one of the Croatian trips, and every details was brilliant, from the hotel to the yoga sessions. The town itself was beautiful and brilliantly curated by the company owner Laura. She has built the perfect balance between restorative, informative and inspiring yoga, and blissful holiday. I highly doubt you’ll regret booking any of her trips.
