European yoga escapes
Throughout Europe many out-of-the-way farms offer yoga trips or a place for yoga retreats.
Several articles popped up this week providing a glimpse at what a yoga traveler might get. All sound so great I don’t know which I would pick first.
An article from the Irish Times looks at ways to get out of your comfort zone this summer. The first placed mentioned, the Boghill Centre, is on protected bogland and offers yoga as well as workshops including American Indian healing traditions.
The article also referenced the Clare Island Yoga Retreat Centre, which has yoga retreats scheduled until October. The organic farm produces sheep’s milk, country wines, honey and herbal teas, according to the article.
I’ve also found a few articles on similar places in Spain that have yoga.
Ibiza off the coast near Valencia has a new crop of rural lodges such as Cas Gasi that offers sailing, biking and hiking and lists Richard Gere in its roster of visitors, according to a Wall Street Journal article.
Similarly quaint, an article in The Guardian extols the Andalucian Finca el Moro. In addition to cottages and grounds for exploring, a group of tents have been set up for yoga retreats and include wooden floors as well as solar electricity and showers.
I still can’t decide. Maybe I can manage to try them all.
