A retreat is a great way to get away from the world and jump straight into a new yoga practice. But some retreats can be too intense for beginners in yoga. Perfect for those with little or no yoga experience, these retreats from around the world can build on the basics while basking in nature, healthy food, and teachers to set you on the right path.

Plan: Where better to go on a self-discovery retreat than in the birthplace of yoga? AyurYoga Eco Ashram organizes retreats for a minimum of 10 days for both beginners and advanced yoga practitioners. During this time, you’ll immerse yourself in daily meditation practices, twice-daily yoga sessions, and even theory classes to deepen your understanding of yoga philosophy, history, anatomy, and mythology. There is also plenty of downtime during the retreat, during which time you can spend time sunbathing in nature, consulting your personal trainer or booking an Ayurvedic treatment.
What we love: All retreats at AyurYoga EcoAshram are limited to 10 students per admission, so you’re sure to get the attention you need and deserve during your retreat. Although other retreats may be held concurrently, beginner sessions are always kept separate to ensure proper instruction and adjustment according to level.
All food at AyurYoga Eco Ashram is organically grown or purchased from local farmers. Cultural tours are also included in the itinerary for an additional $10-20 per tour.
Cost: Whether you’re staying for a full two weeks or 10 days, the retreat is $800 for a shared room with another same-sex student, or $1,000 for a private room.
