HotHut Yoga is a studio like no other. Set in the
Mornington Peninsula in the Victorian countryside,
the studio boasts floor to ceiling windows highlighting
orchid, olive grove and vineyard views. The studio
welcomes with majestic, natural surrounds before you
step into an infrared heated room decked out in the
latest in fashionable yoga props. Classes run daily and
include a smorgasbord of beginner, mellow, power,
meditation and yin, plus monthly workshops. Don’t
worry – it’s not another yoga gimmick and no one will
offer you a red mid warrior, but you will take in some
stunning vineyard views and can enjoy a luxury stay in
the on-site accommodation or a visit to the bistro post
yoga if it tickles your fancy. http://www.hothutyoga.com.auYoga and Pasta?
If you love your yoga but don’t mind a bit of glutinous
indulgence, then Yoga Cucina have cooked up the
perfect concoction for you. Co-founder Aly Clarke
says, “We believe that a higher state of consciousness
can be gained from a shared experience, and love to
bring people together in the yoga room – but also over
an incredible bowl of pasta.” Yoga Cucina’s retreats
combine powerful asana classes, sexy Italian food and
wine, and unique adventures around Australia.

exotic, European
countryside
Picture waking up to Alpine sunrises, exploring Norwegian
fjords and experiencing the majestic presence of the
Spanish Pyrenees – whilst simultaneously enjoying a
peacefully indulgent yoga retreat. Sparkling Yoga
Retreats tempt yogis with yoga experiences around the
world, exploring some of the most beautiful places on
earth. They whole-heartedly believe in the healing
power of taking time out, and Zurich based co-founder
Elena Mironov says, “Maybe one of the most important
parts of this process is that retreating helps you to zoom
out and see your reality from a whole new perspective.
And maybe even charge you with so much fresh new
energy that upon your return you are inspired to truly
embrace what you love, let go of what isn’t serving you
and make changes to live your life more fully.” Their
2018 schedule boasts adventures in Morocco, France,
Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Norway and Bali. We can
dream, can’t we? http://www.sparklingyogaretreats.comYoga indulgence
