  1. BYRON BAY, AUSTRALIA
    The quintessential beach town, Byron Bay
    overfl ows with juice bars, organic cafés, and
    boutique yoga studios. Byron Yoga Centre,
    founded in 1988 by John Ogilvie, is one of
    Australia’s longest-running yoga schools.
    Ogilvie’s signature style of Purna Yoga focuses
    on integrating physical postures and philosophy.
    Meanwhile, Byron Bay newcomer Bamboo Yoga
    School has already amassed a strong community
    thanks to its open-air bamboo “tentple” (a cross
    between a tent and temple) and variety of classes
    including yoga nidra, hatha, vinyasa, and yin.

  2. GWINGANNA LIFESTYLE RETREAT, GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA
    It’s not uncommon to see wallabies and ’roos hopping across the 500-acre grounds set high
    up in the ancient gum trees of the Tallebudgera Valley. Mornings focus on yin-inspired
    movements such as qi gong and restorative yoga, while afternoons are devoted to yang-type
    activities such as boxing and hiking. Three-day Life in Balance programs integrate equine
    healing sessions with lectures from holistic psychiatrists, and new Journey to Inner Freedom
    programs include workshops with emotional healing authority Brandon Bays.

  1. ARO HA, NEW ZEALAND
    Five-, six-, and seven-day retreats,
    many led by yogi and founder Damian
    Chaparro, focus on rejuvenating
    mind and body against some of
    New Zealand’s most breathtaking
    landscapes. Think sunrise yoga,
    kayaking excursions, and strenuous
    hikes on the trails of New Zealand’s
    Southern Alps and along the shores of
    sapphire-blue Lake Wakatipu. Days end
    with restorative yoga and nourishing,
    paleo-friendly cuisine.
