Yoga Retreats for Women

Living in Ubud, Bali for six years I’ve learned a lot, seen a lot, and experienced a lot. I’ve been to yoga classes, gatherings, cacao ceremonies, women’s circles, meditations, and festivals. 

Although western yoga has gained a reputation for being a female-dominated practice, classic yoga was initially a male-only philosophy. It was not until relatively late, in 1937, that Indra Devi, also known as ‘the first lady of yoga’, was accepted to study under Sri Krishnamacharya.

Featuring amazing beaches, exuberant nature, magical towns and thirty-five (!) UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Mexico is the 7th most visited country in the world.

There’s no denying that wellbeing, mindfulness and healthy living have lately gained importance in many people’s lives. For some, this meant adopting habits like yoga or meditation; for others, this even came with an introspection that ultimately led to a career change.
