Yoga retreats are a wonderful way for yogis of all levels to unwind and deepen their practice in an encouraging and relaxing environment. In the past few decades, as yoga has gained popularity in the United States, the number of facilities offering retreats has increased considerably, and today it’s easy for yogis to find a retreat that matches their needs and budget. Full immersion in yoga and Ayurveda can be found across the United States. These are just a few of the amazing retreats available.

On the coast of Hawaii, Kalani is a paradise all its own.
