Being that today is International Yoga Day (June 21), it only made sense for us to write about our favorite hotels for yoga across the globe. Below, we share where we are practicing our downward dog, crescent moon, and tree pose.
Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort (St. Lucia):
This luxe St.Lucia-located property is surrounded by white-sand beaches and tranquil rainforest, making it perfect for private sunrise or sunset yoga.
The Lodge at Blue Sky, Auberge Resorts Collection (Utah, USA):
This Utah retreat offers an incredible selection of yoga experiences. Complimentary classes include sequence yoga, guided breathwork, and family yoga. Or, consider splurging on guided interactive meditation, fireside yoga inside a private yurt (seasonal), aerial yoga, or a couples’ meditation session.
Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat (South Africa):
Here, you can meditate or practice yoga in the private garden, soak in the outdoor pool, and indulge in a luxurious treatment. Between poses, take a moment to admire the stunning surroundings (think: waterfalls, rolling plains, 750-plus flora species, and more than 200 animals).
Chable Yucatan - (Yucatan, MX):
This hotel spans 750 acres of gardens along Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Several yoga classes — including vinyasa, ashtanga, and hatha — are available. Plus, the on-site spa pays homage to the property’s storied locale with Mayan-inspired treatments.
Twin Farms (Vermont, USA):
Nestled in Vermont's Green Mountains, this hotel is the perfect place to practice yoga. Choose from several offerings, including the popular sunrise yoga class, which is well worth the early wakeup. Also, the outdoor yoga deck is perfect for connecting with nature.
Rancho La Puerta (Baja California, MX):
At this Baja haven, guests can partake in all sorts of yoga classes, including aerial yoga (AKA “hanging yoga”), which is especially popular. Other amenities include 40 miles of hiking trails, casita-style accommodations, an on-site farm, 32 acres of manicured gardens, a labyrinth, and a holistic-inspired spa.
