Byron Bay Yoga Retreats

Ten years ago, Janine Hall, a 32-year-old hard-working and upbeat Kiwi businesswoman, was blue, burned-out and wanted a life more extraordinary. Fast forward to today, she runs one of Bali's highest-rated yoga retreat, Escape Haven. What’s more is that her business has just expanded to Australia's Byron Bay and starting in 2014, has been hosting retreats in Portugal and Morocco!

The Greek islands are some of the most majestic places on Earth. Their pristine beaches, crystal-clear water and Mediterranean breeze make them real paradises for yoga retreats.

The Golden Gate Bridge vs Disneyland; Yosemite vs Joshua Tree; Stanford vs USC. California is so big that its diversity has created somewhat of a mild debate about which end is cooler. But which one is better for a yoga retreat?
