Why go on a couples retreat?
There are many reasons why a couple would want to go on a shared retreat. Some couples may be looking for an opportunity to bond over a shared passion for yoga, others are hopeful that by embracing deeper spirituality together will help overcome relationship struggles. And then there’s those that just want to get away from it all and enjoy some shared pampering.
Here are some great reasons to go on a yoga retreat for couples:
- Couples yoga retreats provide a serene and mindful environment, which promotes relaxation and stress reduction.
- Away from daily distractions, couples can make time for each other, rekindle romance, create lasting memories, and gain tools to navigate challenges.
- Shared experiences cultivate trust, patience, and empathy, which aid in nurturing a strong and lasting bond.
- Engaging in shared yoga and meditation sessions fosters mutual support, communication, and understanding.
- The yoga practice encourages physical and emotional intimacy, helping partners align their energies and harmonize their rhythms.
The Best Couples Yoga Destinations
Asia
Asia offers couples some of the best settings to kindle romance. The blend of ancient traditions and spirituality, exotic cuisine, warm weather and tropical natural beauty creates an atmosphere ideal for shared exploration and intimacy.
If I had to choose one absolute best place in the world for couples yoga retreats it would be Bali in Indonesia. Also known as ‘the island of the gods’, the combination of lush tropical nature, friendly people, authentic spirituality and a long history of yoga practice make it the dream getaway for yoga lovers.
Also in Asia you have India, the birthplace of yoga, Aryuveda and tantra, where there’s no shortage of authentic and affordable yoga holiday options for spiritual seekers. Or for a retreat on a beautiful island where you can also explore golden Buddhist temples consider Thailand.
And if luxury in a tropical paradise island is what you are after then Asia also offers one of the most luxurious yoga destinations in the world, the Maldives. These small islands in the Indian Ocean have fewer yoga retreats than other south Asian countries, but those they do have are truly stunning and in the perfect environment for romance.
Europe
The enchanting blend of historic architecture, diverse landscapes, cultural richness, and culinary delights creates a captivating atmosphere perfect for fostering romance. Europe offers couples an idyllic setting to forge lasting memories and strengthen their connection.
If it’s romance you’re looking to foster on your retreat then consider heading to France or Italy. With cities like Paris, Venice and Verona, these two countries are famous for their romantic atmosphere and incredible food and wine. For those seeking a more spiritual yoga experience I would recommend Spain and Portugal as Europe’s best destinations.
The Americas
The American continent offers couples a huge diversity of landscapes and cultures with a mix of luxury yoga resorts, charming private retreats, and unique adventure activities. Yoga and spirituality are rich and diverse in the Americas, drawing from many cultures and traditions and creating new, exciting practices.
Within the USA, states like Hawaii, California, Florida and Arizona have many of the best yoga retreats and are also popular vacation destinations for couples. Couples yoga retreats in the USA often include an element of healing, therapy or professional relationship counselling as a compliment to the physical activities.
The paradise islands of Hawaii are particularly well suited to yoga enthusiasts. There’s a strong spiritual element in the traditional culture, and surfing is the perfect compliment to yoga practice.
For more adventurous yogis I would also recommend trying a yoga retreat in Canada. With warm hospitality, endless vistas and opportunities for outdoor adventure, it’s an ideal setting for couples seeking to strengthen their bond through memorable experiences in the great outdoors.
Mexico also has a rich and colorful cultural history and joyous spiritual practices. You’ll find couples yoga holidays popping up in many of the most popular beach towns, and a few hidden away in secret corners amongst ancient Mayan ruins.
Another great choice would be Brazil, which also has a broad mix of cultures and traditions which have allowed alternative spiritual therapies to flourish. As home to the Amazon rainforest, the world’s lungs, it’s a great place to practice Pranayama and Kundalini.
For couples who want to enjoy the finer things, you should try a yoga retreat in the Caribbean where relaxation and rejuvenation are a way of life. Nothings says perfect vacation quite like drinking a fresh coconut on a warm, sandy beach and having a dip in warm, azure seas.
